Re: Vanilla Skyish?
 

Not total mindfuck movies (but movies that are kinda intense that you'll find cool if you like the ones OP listed)...
Suicide Kings
Playing God

I too highly recommend:
The Game
Fight Club
Usual Suspects
MEmento
Identity

The remake of The Manchurian Candidate was pretty good. I didn't hate the Village, but it certainly wasn't as cool as any of the first three Shamalamadingdong movies (Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs).

The Mothman Prophecies was a cool one, as is The Prophecy.

It's a [censored] travesty that you watched Vanilla Sky rather than the original, Abre Los Ojos. All Amenebar's films are awesome IMHO, and as penance for your sin of allways watching unoriginal US remakes I think you should watch his back catalogue.

I'm sure you would enjoy them. They all screw with your head a little, and his films are all an exploration of Death, perhaps the most head-[censored] of subjects.

i thought it was 'meh' but that scene in the forest where hook nose is dressed like the monster messing with the blind girl sent chills up my spine.

i liked the butterfly effect. there are 2 endings though. i liked the alternate ending not shown in theatres.

Primer was very cool - you will never, ever, ever in a million years figure out the correct timline without getting it from the internet - but you don't have to know it exactly to enjoy the movie.

Also "Following" - the first movie by the guy who did Memento.

You need to explain this movie to me. I saw about 15 minutes of it once and it was the most [censored] up thing I've ever seen. The scene I watched went something like this...

Girl in blue dress answers the door, guy comes in, acts creepy, then gets on top of her and starts dry humping her. Clothes are on. She looks up and he yells "Quit [censored] ing looking at me!" Keeps dry humping. Again she looks at him. "Goddammit, quit [censored] ing looking at me!" The third time she looks up, he punches her in the face. "I said quit [censored] ing looking at me!!!"

WTF?
