I’m surprised no one has said this yet. It is the movie Heath Ledger was filming right before he died. They had to get Colin Farrell, Johnny Depp, and Jude Law to play his character for different scenes the Ledger never got to film when he passed. The movie is filled with crazy special effects that make you feel like you just ate a bag of shrooms
EDIT: sorry Vicomte lol[/quote]
I’m not sure if they had to rewrite a lot of the ending, but it did get pretty fucking weird in the end.
And I’m pretty sure Heath Ledger’s character fucked a fifteen-year-old girl. Right?
I forgot about A Perfect Getaway.
I liked it, but I also have a mancrush on Timothy Olyphant.

It’s really a shame he isn’t in more good movies.

Frailty was good and surprised me.
Hard Candy. Ellen Page is amazing.
Identity was pretty good for a horror movie with a twist.

x2
I hard heard she as being considered for Lisbeth Salander in the remake of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and I couldn’t really see it. Until I remembered Hard Candy.
Oh, and I don’t know if you’d consider them mindfucks, but Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby, and The Ghost Writer should probably be up here too.
In the Mouth of Madness is a complete mindfuck, if you have seen it you’ll know what i mean, and i though Silent Hill was a fucked up film aswell.
the crying game…now that was a mind fuck, I was stunned once the plot twist came. I also didn’t watch the movie any further after that…
For anyone that hasn’t seen it, check out Lost Highway and tell me if you can make ANY SENSE OUT OF IT.

Chinatown: definitely a mindfuck movie. When Mrs. Mulwray gets all nervous while Jack is questioning her about her father and she lights up a cigarette, despite already having one lit, and Jack goes “You’ve already got one going Mrs. Mulwray.” is classic. I love how unsettled Faye Dunaway gets at every mention of her father; you just know there’s some sinister shit lying underneath. Fuck I love that movie. Top ten favorite of all time for sure.
“Just…find the girl.”
“She’s my sister, she’s my daughter, she’s my sister and my daughter!”

I just saw that the other day for the first time, and I can honestly say that a movie has never left me feeling so hollow after. The end really just kicks you in the teeth while you’re already down.

I saw that in a film class a while back, and I loved it. Not because of the twist, mind you, but because of how the peanut gallery reacted to it, how visibly (and audibly) uncomfortable it made them. I had already seen it and knew what was coming so it didn’t come as a big shock the second time and I could just enjoy their squirming.
The first time I saw Jaws was when I was about 6 or 7 and my dad let me watch it on TV with him the night before my parents took us to the beach. Now that’s a mindfuck.
Now that I think about it, my dad used to let me watch a lot of movies at a much earlier age than most parents. I can still remember when I was about 4 or 5 and he let me watch Raiders of the Lost Ark with him. Everything went well except the last scene when everyone’s faces started melting.
Watching Deliverance when I was about 8 or 9 was a real mindfuck. So was The Empire Strikes Back when I was about 5. I also saw Caddyshack when I was around that age, as well 2001: A Space Odyssey in second grade.
I saw JFK in the theaters when it came out when I was 11 or 12. I didn’t even know there was a conspiracy theory or anything at all along those lines until I saw that movie. Now THAT was a mindfuck of epic proportions. I went to the library the next day and checked out every book about the assassination that I could fit into my backpack. By the time I was fifteen I must have read a dozen different books about it.
