Any clear favs on that list? Your top 5?
It would depend on the genre and most of my favourites are well-known movies.
Crime/mystery/thriller - The Usual Suspects, Memento, Se7en, The Prestige
Sci-fi - The Matrix, Interstellar, Arrival
Comedy - Groundhog Day, The Truman Show, American PsychoIdentity, Split and The Game are underrated. James McAvoy is brilliant in Split.
Bugger, I've seen all of those - was hoping for a new gem
One I liked that's not really a mindfuck as much as a bit of a twist at the ending, was the Skeloton Key.
Seen The Ninth Gate I presume?
Great film.
Yeah v good.

@Bovidae Predestination is without a doubt one of the most interesting movies I have ever seen. I was gripped the whole time, just incredible.
That movie confused the fck out of me, took an hour on the interweb forums afterwards to get up to speed.
I really like movies that mess with my mind. But it's fair to say much of their cleverness goes over my simple head.
i kept going "what. what? no?! surely not? oh that's awesome"

The Vast of the Night
Atmospheric, 1950's -set sci-fi.
Really enjoyed it up until it faded a fair bit at the end. 6/10

Just watched Commando; been a very long time between viewings.
If you like a flimsy plot bolstered by overacting and the worst action sequences then this is for you.
My wife didn't seem as impressed with it as I thought she might.

If this even close to running Commando down, god help me i will have you banned from here for life.

Sorry to hear that mate. Plenty of fish in the sea though eh.
(although maybe not for Tahs supporting Kiwis)

Commando shits all over Sly and Bruce’s best efforts. By far. Terminator and Predator are also brilliant but I’d argue more sci fi than pure action.

You can argue about their definition of "mind-fuck".
As expected quite a few Christopher Nolan and David Fincher movies. And Kubrick films if you like him as a director.
From memory I've seen 55 of these over the years, some only once but others multiple times.
Any clear favs on that list? Your top 5?
My Top 10 (5 is not enough) in no particular order:
Memento
Moon
Ex Machina
The Usual Suspects
The Matrix
The Game
Get Out
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Se7en
Groundhog DayI like a lot more of them though.
My Worst 2 (and the two most overrated on the list, along with Arrival which I like but think gets overrated):
Mother! - such utter bollocks.
Mullholland Dv - see above, not even naked lesbian Naomi Watts in her hot days can redeem this.On Predestination, I've seen it, enjoyed it, recommended it to people, and I can't remember the actual story at all aside from the spoiler.
