Top Ten complicated plots?
 
Hi, so I really love a movie that makes you think and figure things out. But in a way it makes sense.

Example, Mullholland Drive wasn't really supposed to make sense in my opinion, but it's supposed to give people something to talk about.

I really liked these movies the first 1 or 2 times I watched them...
Matrix
12 Monkeys
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Prime (timer travel movie, I think that's the name)
Inception
Momento

but I figure them out pretty quick it seems, while and I feel like most movies are way to simple and I want something that's a little more complicated that makes you think. I'm having a really hard time finding something and most mystery/suspense movies are cheesy and lack information
'til the end but aren't complicated or thought provoking. Any suggestions?

The Big Sleep (46)
Passage to Marseille
Dune

You can go into things like Last Year at Marienbad, Juliet of the Spirits, Persona, L'avventura, etc., if you're into non-English language flicks.

I went into this hoping no one said Inception, whaddya know I was disappointed immediately.

I second everything Mark said plus Strange Circus and Synecdoche New York

I still think there is some sense to be had in Mulholland Drive, I just haven't figured it out yet.

You could watch these loads of times and they will still be complicated.

Mulholland Drive makes sense to me. *Shrugs*

One of my favorite films of all time.

Many people say that Inception is a complicated plot, but it's not so complicated once you watch it a few times. The only truth thing that believe should confuse people is whether or not not Christopher Nolan attended the story to be a whole dream. Also I do agree with you with Memento, that movie is really confusing. The matrix isn't compensated at all to me.
