Post by MikeT »

I am compiling a list of the best mind-bending movies and need a little help from you guys. The list will be converted into a blog and will be published here: https://www.thestreambible.com/ (on Dec 30th)

Here are the movies I have finalized so far,

1- Predestination

2- Looper

3- Inception

5- Memento

6- Shutter Island

7- Coherence

I need 8 more movies to complete the list of a total of 15.

Thank you.

How about:

Solyaris

and

Pi

The first one is better than the remake with George Clooney.
And the second one is one of my favourites which I've seen numerous times.

Just to name a few.
"UNDERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" is how far you take the fence with you.

@Immortan Joecutter:

I presume you mean Dark city from 1998 with Rufus Sewell, and not Dark city from 1950 with Charlton Heston.
They are both very good movies. But the 1998 movie is also one of my favourites. That really is a mind bending movie. The directors cut turned out even better.

Yeah, Dark City from 1998. One of my favourites too.
Director from The Crow :mrgreen:

Didn't watched the DC yet but I think I will.

A lot of fans of the movie complained about the narration by Dr Daniel Paul Schreber in the beginning of the film giving away a lot of spoilers about the story. In the directors cut it is left out. Now you only see the camera panning down without the narration. What would have been better from the start. There are some extra scenes that where left out of the theatrical version.
From the trivia section of IMDb:
New Line Cinema forced Alex Proyas to include the opening narration by Kiefer Sutherland, which gives away several plot reveals. Proyas objected to it, saying it was unnecessary, and he subsequently removed the narration from his director's cut.
And the first singing scene of Emma Murdoch is from another take. But I like the theatrical version more.

I will watch the DC, that sounds interesting.

Let's play 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon with: Dark City and The Road Warrior (...)
