Sam Wrote:A good while ago there was a thread on the movie Primer. Most of us who watched it came away confused but still enjoyed the film anyway.
I rented Memento for the 2nd time. Not as confusing as the first time I watched it, but still not too easy to follow in many places. As before, I liked it even though it was a bit confusing.
So, what other brain straining flicks are out there that are actually good even though the confusion is/can be distracting? I need a break from the typical Hollywood formulas.
BTW, no need to mention films by Terry Gilliam.
