Ten Hard to Understand Films

Ten Hard to Understand Films

We've all been there, sitting watching a film and suddenly we realise, "What the Hell is going on here????" Sound familiar??? Well here are ten films that are somewhat hard to understand!!!

1. 

Mulholland Dr. (2001)

David Lynch's tour de force about a woman slipping in and out of reality in the depths of Hollywood. If you can understand this on the first viewing quick- write a book- as you're cleverer than most of us!!! Apparently the key to the film is in the red lamp at the start of the movie....

2.

Vanilla Sky (2001)

See Tom Cruise as a successful business whose life is stripped bare after a car crash with a lover.

3.

Donnie Darko (2001)

It seems 2001 was a great year for mind blowing films as Richard Kelly serves up this masterpiece about a troubled teenager dealing with visions of a bizarre white rabbit that makes him commit various crimes. Gyllenhaal's best performance by miles.

4.

Inception (2010)

One of Christopher Nolan's (The Dark Knight) many masterpieces- surely this makes him one of the best directors of modern times???

5.

Memento (2000)

Completely original filming style, this movie is known as the film that was made in reverse. Follow Guy Pearce piece together the clues to find his wife's killer.

6.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Kubrick at his ever confusing best. HAL the computer races the humans to find the placers of the monolith. Confused already? Wait til you see it!

7.

The Usual Suspects (1995)

The story of five career criminals caught in a twisted plot that left people dead and a boat destroyed. Think beyond your wildest dreams then treble it.

8.

A Clockwork Orange (1971)

Another fittingly Kubrick entry banned until 2000, the film caused and causes uproar even now. Follow Alex DeLarge and his brand of ultraviolence as his band of droogs wreak havok in futuristic Britain. Prepare to be shocked and I mean it.

9.

Pi (1998)

Darren Aronofsky's  (Black Swan, Requiem For  Dream) film about a paranoid mathematician trying to unlock the anagrams of the universe. Bring your thinking cap, actually make that bring ten thinking caps.

10.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

Jim Carrey proves he is a serious actor as well as a comic genius.

Well there we are... ten mind blowing films to enjoy. There is no particular order, and there are probably more confusing films out there and if you understand this lot there are alot more to enjoy!!!
