When it comes to including/excluding movies for these types of lists I believe it is important to remember that what we are judging are films. So as a purist I would disqualify any movie no matter how brilliant that was an adaptation of a earlier work (i.e. novel, short story ,etc.) This would then not only be a list of original works containing challenging and thought-provoking(twisting?) themes but films crafted with a unique cinematic dynamic or intensity in its delivery of those themes. 2001, Trainspotting, Fight club, undeniably great films, but not created originally for the screen. Memento, with it’s deconstructed/reverse narrative, Natural Born Killers with it’s channel flipping editing, and perhaps not John Malkovich but another Charlie Kaufman penned script (ironically titled) Adaptation where the screenwriter himself becomes a character in his own movie, these are the films that nudge the envelope, challenge the mind and the senses. But that’s just me. Truth be told, I think every suggestion had merit and made it clear I have some viewing catch-up to do. K-Pax? Ciao!

LOL : “Where’s K-Pax?!?”

Stranger than Fiction belongs in the discussion. An amazing, underrated, and beautiful movie.

Perfume (The Story of a Murderer) – Long, disturbing, but mind blowing.

The most mind blowing film of all time. 2001: A space odyssey.

Donny Darko is overrated and should not be on this list.

The Matrix was definitely a wake up call and its creators did a masterful job highlighting how oblivious the masses are to the various elements in society that’s trying to control their every thoughts.
Whenever I go one of those “Shaman like” journeys — “with assistance” (wink, wink) — the blinders immediately come off and I see TRUE reality, and I’m able to break away from the machine’s (society’s) limitations (or boundaries) so to speak — and travel to parts unknown. That’s why I reject all notions of “organized” religion and I steer clear of mass media (Idiot box) rubbish. So when “creative” entertainment shows up that I connect with, I’m more than happy to take a peek.

Happy explorations!!
