does anyone know any movies a fan of donnie darko and fight club would like? i need some reccomendations please.

You might need to explain what it was about those movies that you liked so people can give recommendations. Also, the shift key is your friend.

shift is not my friend. im mainly i guess looking for movies with suprise endings and mindfuck movies.

Muholland Drive
Dark City
Cowboy Bebop (just watch the movie, and see if you like it)

OOPS I SPILLED GLUE ON MY SHIFT

Yeah Mulholland Dr is a mindfuck.

Just arrived on DVD today (9/28):




There's no way this film will NOT become a cult favorite.

Jim Carrey doing drama? No thanks. He should stick to Dumb & Dumber.

Memento
Ghost in the Shell
Mother Night
Avalon (2001)
12 Monkeys
Brazil
Repo Man
Following
Adaptation
Schizopolis

You really have to give it a try. The movie floored me on how good it was.

The Salton Sea
Lost Highway

It's more a science-fiction/romantic-comedy/drama. A stylistic mindfuck. And still the best movie of 2004. Give it a chance.

I sure as hell will be - looking forward to it.

THE ENTITY.

Pro-B

my friend told me i should see requiem for a dream. is that a good movie?

Requiem for a Dream is a great movie, but I wouldn't really classify it in the same category as Fight Club or Donnie Darko, as its not a surprise ending or mindfuck movie. However, I was thinking Pi might be more suited to what you are looking for (its by the same guy that did Requiem) and definitely on the bizarre side of the line.

I'm all about the same kind of movies that you're looking for. Some good suggestions so far. Definately the ones Jay G mentioned. Also, I'll include:


The Last Temptation of Christ
Twin Peaks
Psycho --just about any Hitchcock (although not as hip with the mindfuck)

In the Company of Men

Persona

Most of these are second/third/fourth votes, not all are "mind fucks" but have some general themes and moods in common:

American Psycho
Requiem for a Dream
Dark City
Mulholland Drive
The Wicker Man
The Butterfly Effect (terrible rip off of DD, but a lot of people seem to like it)
Serial Experiments Lain (anime,TV series, 13 eps - check it out if you like Lynch or Cronenberg)
eXistenZ
Videodrome
Lost Highway
A Tale of Two Sisters (Korean)
Tokyo Fist (Japanese)

... numerous others I can't quite think of right now.

And while Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a terrific lil flick, I don't really fit it in the same catagory, nor do I any Kaufman's work. They're all really good (yes I even liked Human Nature) and all, but they actually seem a bit more grounded than the aforementioned. Of course, as per usual, I'm probably missing the boat on what this guy is looking for

i liked the butterfly effect

The best of all time...
Se7en.

Also The Game though I didn't love it myself.

i saw the game years ago i forget most of it. im gonna either buy or rent it.

Actually id rather watch Jim Carrey doing Drama type movies..

loved,

eternal sunshine,

majestic

Truman Show

What was his last 3 Comedies anyway?

Maybe "Naked Lunch".

Frailty is a good one.
