        Tenet- not seen
        I'm thinking of ending things- not seen
        Shutter Island- one of my favourites. Definitely needs a second viewing.
        Donnie Darko- confusing for sure but a fun ride.
        Mulholland Drive- not seen
        Interstellar- never wanted to watch it a second time.
        Nocturnal Animals - not seen
        The Shining- Loved it, didn't find it particularly confusing.
        Arrival- enjoyed it, not particularly confusing if I remember correctly.
        Fight Club- saw the twist coming but still a great film.
        Predestination - not seen
        Matrix- yep, needed to watch it a few times! Never bothered with sequels.
        Memento- sorry but I hated it! Pointlessly convoluted, I'm sure I'm in the minority thpugh.
        Inception- same as Memento. If it's too confusing what's the point?
        2001- hated it first time round but watched it about 10 years later with fresh eyes and really enjoyed it. Obviously it is a complete head ****.

              Probably. Might as well slag Dunkirk for being a boring piece of **** on your way out.

                You can always calm the waters by noting that Dunkirk is at least more interesting than Locke, in which Tom Hardy drives around in a car the whole goddamn movie.

                    "Shutter Island- one of my favourites. Definitely needs a second viewing."
                    Did you pick up on the ending of Shutter Island where he was faking to going back to acting like the marshall instead of the patient so that he could get the lobotomy to forget his wife and kids?
                    Knowing that makes it even better.

                      As for The Shining, I think what a lot of folks don't get is the end where you see Jack in that old B & W photo from the party in the 1920's.
                      I dunno what that was about either.

                        Memento sucks balls and I'm glad to see someone else isn't afraid to say so.

                          I've never met anyone who agreed with me over Memento.

                            Took me three tries to finish. Only ever went back because everyone assured me I was missing out.

                              Right! It's like the Emperor's New clothes of movies.
                              What is your opinion of Avatar?

                                I missed this post. I remember thinking it was OK. Did what it set out to do as some kind of CGI visual feast. A worse version of DwW, with dialogue I doubt anyone could recite even a single quote from. People seemed to either love or hate it but I'm lukewarm.
                                Now that I've said Memento is dogshit and Avatar is OK, can someone please tag Orson to facilitate my ceremonious obliteration? Thank you.

                                      The director's cut of Donnie Darko explains a lot of things that seem meaningless.
                                      I think I really love confusing movies. I like trying to work out what the **** is going on.

                                        Chris is doing something wrong if a bunch of his movies show up on here.
                                        Should stick with Batman.
                                        Those were not confusing.
