The Shining
A 1980 British-American psychological horror film which has grasped the imagination of its viewers and has been ranked as one of the 11 scariest movies of all time, Directed by Stanley Kubrick the movie is a major influence on popular culture, But that’s not the reason it’s mentioned on our list, once you have seen the movie there are a ton of fan theories and even a whole documentary that explains the twisted plot and hidden messages. Another movie The Amityville Horror loosely based on the similar plot was released in 2005 but wasn’t even close to the storyline of The Shining.
Shutter Island
When you see the name Leonardo Di Caprrioon a movie it more often guaranteed it’s going to be something, Released in 2010 and directed by Martin Scorsese the story focuses on U.S Marshal Edward “Teddy” Daniels who is tasked to investigate the case of a missing patient in a psychiatric facility on Shutter Island but boy oh boy right up until the end the plot takes a 180 degree turn that will leave your head spinning.
2001: A Space Odyssey
An old classic and another masterpiece by Stanley Kubrick, the movie covers topics like extraterrestrial life, Space travel and human evolution it is regarded as one of the most influential films ever made and placed sixth among the top ten films of all time by Sight & Sound magazine, The plot is quite interesting up till,,, you know it, the end, which actually concludes at, wait, oh well, no spoilers.
Interstellar
A beautiful film from the house of Nolan, it is much inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey but with much reality, don’t take our word for it because the movie extensively uses the Theory of Relativity which as a matter of fact most of us pack up leave upon hearing, But in this case has been tried to explain (hopefully), when ingredients of a movie are Mattew McConaughey, Black Hole, Wormhole and smoking Anne Hathaway with a thrilling story and whacking twist it’s bound to leave a mark.
Fight Club
Every moviegoer has either seen or at least heard about the Fight Club, Oops I broke the first rule of F**** C***, and if you haven’t then, no comment, One of the classic cult film with a huge passionate fan base the film not only delivers thrills but is praised for its acting, themes and directing, The director David Fincher continued same features from the novel on which the film was based on keeping the suspense intact and keep the audience unaware from its twisted ending.
Secret Window
Another one of those “Identity crisis” based plot involving a writer Mort Rainey played by non-other than Johnny Depp and directed by David Koepp, The film gradually builds up to the inevitable twist.
The Source Code
In Computer Programming source code refers to the original code of instructions to which you can always refer to if you make a mistake and when the movie uses the title it is true to the core, Directed by Duncan Jones, Jake Gyllenhaal plays the role of U.S Army pilot Captain Colter Stevens but he wakes up “in the body of” Sean Fentress, a school teacher with his traveling partner Christina Warren, long story short the train is bound to explode and that teacher’s identity aka it’s source code is the only way to find out the bomber.
INCEPTION
Hold on to your dreams because they are real, At least the movie will make you believe it, if you come upon to understand it, which most of the audience simply fail to comprehend the philosophy behind Inception, A dream within dream they say, inception will take you deep within the realm of fantasy and science fiction, full of action and thrills there is a reason that it grossed over $800 million worldwide and won Academy Awards with several other nominations
Predestination
This masterpiece is generally considered the absolute Mind-fuck and rightfully so there is so much twist and turn that it will make you watch the movie again just to get the idea of what the hell is actually happened, when it comes to time travel comes the time paradox, temporal paradox and time continuity and what not, and considering the overpass of theory of relativity over our heads we say NO SIR, But still the movie is so much interesting that the final twist hits you like bang(there are two major twists” whoops spoilers).
A perfect example of someone screwing up with their life (quite literally) Predestination will leave your minds on a wheelchair.
