Vanilla Skyish?
 

I'm a huge fan of Vanilla Sky and any movies that "mindf*ck" you. Any suggestions?

A few mentioned in movie reviews were Momento, Eyes Wide Shut, Fight Club, Jacob's Ladder and eXistenZ. I've seen the first three but not the last two- any reviews? Thanks in advance.

Re: Vanilla Skyish?
 

Memento

Re: Vanilla Skyish?
 

I real enjoyed The Village but many will disagree

Re: Vanilla Skyish?
 

Eraserhead
Blue Velvet
Usual Suspects

Re: Vanilla Skyish?
 

The Usual Suspects
Requiem For a Dream
Bad Taste

Re: Vanilla Skyish?
 

Highly underratted movie with a great ending is THE GAME.

Re: Vanilla Skyish?
 

DarrenX - for a good mind-[censored] watch The Ice Harvest, because you will sit there and not be able to comprehend how a movie directed by Harold Ramis and starring Thornton and Cusack can be so [censored]' terrible.

Also, Memento, Jacob's Ladder, Mulholland Drive, and not the Village.

Regards,

Unsure. This is the first movie that comes to mind when the term mindfcuk is thrown out there. I wish I could have seen it in the theatres.

Fear and Laothing , while tripping on acid, you'll enjoy that

FYP

Re: Vanilla Skyish?
 

i rented the original, spanish version, of this two days ago. it's called abre los ojos (open your eyes). i was surprised how closely vanilla sky followed it scene by scene, line by line.

you may like swimming pool. hot girl. great story. and there's a twist.

Edit: after seeing the david lynch reference. mulholland drive has hotter girls. a better story and a weirder twist.

bwana

mulholland drive.
 

or ant lynch film.

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?
