Movies That Cause You To Rethink Life
16
items A list of mind-bending movies that I have found hard to forget. Some of them are interesting in a disturbing way, or just make you think about life itself!
(Rated R for sex and violence) If you want to watch a movie where you are pulled into a false sense of security, and just want to watch half of it with your jaw dropped open, this is definitely the movie to watch!! My best friend showed it to me a ye...
Midsommar (2019)
Literally the definition of "plot twist." As soon as you think you know what's happening, they switch it up on you, and it was just an interesting watch!! Highly reccomend.
Shutter Island (2010)
An absolute classic! If it hasn't already been spoiled for you, this was my favorite movie for a pretty long time, and it's definitely worth watching!! The ending will punch you in the face, and when you rewatch it you'll see all the foreshadowing. D...
Fight Club (1999)
If you love any and all movies about space, mind-bending concepts, special effects, and emotion, this is the movie to watch if you haven't already. I don't usually rewatch movies (especially not in the theatre), but I went to their tenth year anniver...
Interstellar (2014)
Bit of a different rec than the rest of these, but if you like disturbing documentaries that are also humourous, this is the one for you... The movie is about a real person (Morgan Spurlock) who dedicated to eating only Mcdonalds food for an entire m...
Super Size Me (2004)
Honestly can't reccomend this one enough. The entire movie pulls you in at every second. It might confuse you at times, but the emotional moments will bring you back in. It's also a very colorful and cinematic movie that's both very aesthetically ple...
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
UGH OMG I love this movie so much!!!! If you love romance, but also angst, and an interesting plot, this is PERFECT. You've probably seen Jim Carrey in comedy movies, but he is SO good in serious movies as well
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
The second Jim Carrey movie on the list, because he's amazing and is always in the best movies!! I know I said I LOVE LOVE Eternal Sunshine, but The Truman Show is even BETTER!! There's a possibility this ending has been spoiled for you because it's ...
The Truman Show (1998)
Not much to say other than to say it's a very interesting watch. The whole premise is about a guy who is put in hibernation and forgotten about until 2505, in which he finds out the population has become so stupid that he is now the most intelligent ...
Idiocracy (2006)
This is possibly the MOST mind-bending and realistically disturbing movie on this list. If you watch this, you will never ever touch any harmful drugs for the rest of your life. The movie shows different parallels and the realistic view on what's "tr...
Requiem for a Dream (2000)
Yes, its mind-bending, but it's also definitely genre-bending. If you ever think you know the genre, it will be changed on you, with continuous plot twists and heavy commentary on social classes. Parasite is also one of my personal top 5 movies becau...
Parasite (2019)
Yes! It's yet another space movie!! This movie has VERY little dialogue, causing you to really feel the unsettling nature behind the concept, but don't worry, you won't be too bored. The very first scene is one of the most iconic (It was heavily refe...
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
This one is a very interesting one and not made for everybody, as it is from 1957, in black-and-white, and is only set in one room for the entire movie. But trust me, I wouldn't recommend you a movie that I didn't enjoy watching. It may even prove to...
12 Angry Men (1957)
Based on the famously banned novel, Clockwork Orange is a pretty controversial movie, Rated R for violence. I'm honestly not too sure why it's so controversial, because it's a very honest movie, with obvious commentary on morals and the government. I...
A Clockwork Orange (1971)
Another movie that will teach you about the consequences of a drug addiction (specifically heroin), switching from comedy to disturbing.
Trainspotting (1996)
If you love sci-fi and horror (as well as mind-bending movies, otherwise you wouldn't be looking at this list), Donnie Darko is a fun one because it's not quite a slasher vibe, but just 'blurs the line between what's reality and what's not' through n...
Donnie Darko (2001)
