I just know they're coming to kill me.
Well, at first it was Minority Report. But after watching it, I figured it all out. Then next was Holes, which I solved right as the credits started rolling. Um... lessee... currently, Attack of the Clones. I'm still confused as to whether Darth Sidious is Palpatine (I know, laugh at me... but how could Sidious go from talking to Dooku all the way to the launching of the clone army?!?!?!) Donnie Darko, and that's about it for me.

Vanilla Sky has made me ponder lucid dreams and such for hours after I've watched it, everytime.

WAKING LIFE and thin red line was also a good one



Ya'll might laugh, but I had to really think about the first Mission Impossible to see how it came together. Some other personal favorites include Mulholland Drive, the afore mentioned Memento and Existenz.

My Top 100 favorite movies.



Randomly visiting for now
Usually movies that are not clear about what is happening are the most thought provoking such as:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Donnie Darko
Fight Club
(seriously who knew who Tyler was? *trying to avoid spoilers)

But also movies that have profound/confronting meaning make you think afterwards a lot such as:

Lost in Translation
Green Mile
The Shawshank Redemption

Spooky, you rule , these four ones i wanted to list myself.
Lately, i'd add Birth, for very personal reasons, which brought me some hours of meditation.

Neutral Milk Hotel
Ill actually add Fight Club and Eternal Sunshine. Eternal Sunshine did not make me think but it had one of the best meanings ever. Fight Club had the best twist ending of all time. And Donnie Darko When I first saw it was just plain weird and then I watched it again and loved it.



I just know they're coming to kill me.
Oh yeah, The Matrix and Lost in Translation. LiT I understood, but where did Charlotte's husband go towards the end of the movie? How come he was never there? Was he having an affair or something?



Not many movies have made me think cause I don't try to think to much when im trying to enjoy a movie and anyway it jsut kinda comes to me, The only film that really stumped me good was "Mulholland Drive." To this day I still dont get it at all.
