8. Mullholland Drive. This 2001 neo-noir psychological thriller written and directed by David Lynch never fails to make anyone feel stupid.
Watch this movie and you will find googling away just to find out what the hell just happened. We know we did and it led is to RottenTomato, where one critic puts it: “Go for the performances and the photography, but don't talk about the film over coffee afterwards - you could still be ordering triple espressos the next morning.”
Mr Lynch, with a growing library of such movies, may just be the mindfuck king. Congratulations.
9. Old Boy. This Korean film begins with a man holding another man dangling on the edge of a building by his neck tie. A Korean business man is kidnapped and imprisoned in a shabby room for fifteen years without knowing why. One day, he is released. He is given money, expensive clothes, and a cell phone.
As he seeks to find the reason of his imprisonment, and to exact his revenge as well, he learns that his kidnapper still has plans for him, and that those plans will serve as the worst finale to his 15 years of imprisonment. One of the best revenge movies, you won’t know twisted if you haven’t seen Old Boy.
10. Shutter Island. A Martin Scorsese film that everyone mistakes for a horror movie is actually a pretty good psychological film thriller starring the director’s favorite leading man Leonardo di Caprio. Watch this film as a warm up to Leo’s newest movie, Inception.
