There are always some movies which make our minds blend. This can be an unexpected twist or a complex plot. Although, it’s always hard to select the best mind twisting movies as there’s a lot of movies in this category.
10. No smoking 2007
Runtime ⏲️2h 7m
Director: Anurag Kashyap.
This is one of the underrated movies I have ever seen. Also, this is one of the best of Anurag Kahsyap. In this film, a wife left her husband due to his addiction to smoking. Then, to get her wife back, the husband starts to go to a counselor. After this, the story starts to get odd, and also twists start to come in front. Though this movie title is “No Smoking” but the main message is not related to that. To understand the story, you must be patient to watch the whole movie. Surely, this is one of the best thrillers of Bollywood.
Cast: Paresh Rawal , Ayesha Takia
9. Coherence 2013
Runtime ⏲️1 hr 29m
Director: James Ward Byrkit
A group of friends gathers for a home party, and the news shows that a comet will pass earth that night. Suddenly electricity went down and one of them went outside of home to call his brother as none of them had a signal in their cell phone. When he came back, nothing was normal. They start to see multiple copies of their identity.
8. Shutter Island 2010
Runtime ⏲️2h 18m
Director: Martin Scorsese
One of the best movies of Leonardo DiCaprio. When a patient goes missing from a mental asylum from a very remote island named “Shutter Island”, two marshals visit that asylum to investigate. Soon, twists start to grow as the story advances. According to the director, to really understand this movie one must watch it a second time.
7. Mulholland Drive 2001
Runtime ⏲️2h 27m
Director: David Lynch
In my opinion, this is one the best as well as most complicated movies of Director David Lynch. Understanding the quantity of the difference and relation between dreams and reality will help you get the movie plot. But the director made the difference so small that it seems the same.To understand the movie you must watch this with a cool head and multiple times. As the pace of this movie is kind of slow, you might get bored but there’s some adult scene alert for the kids out there.All though this movie is not actually for non adults.
6. Inception 2010
Runtime ⏲️2h 28m
Director Christopher Nolan
There’s nothing to say about this movie. Cobb, who steals ideas from other peoples dream. Yes, you heard me right. This could sound odd but Christopher Nolan described it more logically. A mission starts when Cobb is promised to meet with his family and they jump into different layers of dream, and another dream within a dream. Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy are the most eminent cast of this movie.
5. Donnie Darko 2001
Runtime ⏲️1h 53m
Director:Richard Kelly
This movie has made a new dimension of the complex plot movies. This is an amazing sci-fi movie related to time loop. Donnie, a teenage boy who has a sleep walking habit, and in one night he met an evil spirit who gave him a tale about the future. Can’t say more about the movie, and it is very difficult to clarify the plot. One can assume it as a parallel universe timeline. Despite poor cinematography, the story of this movie will definitely cover it.
Cast:Jake Gyllenhaal, Maggie Gyllenhaal.
4. Fight Club 1999
Runtime ⏲️2h 29m
Director: David Flincher
It’s a masterpiece of David Flincher. In this movie there’s a famous quote which is, “ The first rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about fight club, and second rule of the fight club is you do not talk about fight club”. So, respecting their privacy, I’ll not talk much about the club. I think most of you have experienced this movie. If not, it’s my request to watch it right now. The ending will blow your mind.
3. Incendies 2010
Runtime ⏲️2h 10m
Director:Dennis Villeneuve
Incendies, is a movie of a cruel story of reality.This Canadian movie is about a woman, who before her death, left two wills. One for her twin babies and another for her brother, by which everyone comes to know for the first time that she had a brother. Twist of this movie is going to hit your mind so hard that one should be prepared to watch the movie for the first time.
2. The prestige 2006
Runtime ⏲️2h 10m
Director: Christopher Nolan
Repeated twists of this movie have made this one different from others. Plot advances with the competition between two magicians, but in the culmination approaches at a stage where nothing is left to assume but biting nails. Though this movie seems slow from the beginning but thus the story builds up and makes the whole film alive. For the cast you will enjoy Christian Bale, Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Jackman.
1. Predestination 2014
Runtime ⏲️1h 37m
Director:Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig
Reason behind this for position one is because personally, this movie will take away your night sleep. This movie is based on time travel. And in every stage there’s a twist in the story. Small things can be spoilers for the movie so, I am not saying story plot. But this movie is understandable, which is a positive side for sure.
Apart from this, Interstellar, Identity, Triangle, Insomnia and many other movies are in my list. I’ll definitely write about these movies next time.
