Requiem for a dream
Enter the void
The credits just soften you up for the mindfuck.
Primer. I needed to re-watch it at least 3 times to even begin understanding WTF was happening. Even the wiki sites that try to explain it are incomprehensible at first.
Eraserhead
everything everywhere all at once
Donnie Darko leaves more questions than answers
That’s one that really only makes sense after watching it multiple times. The excerpts from the book(?) tell you the “what” and “why” of the events of the movie. Okay, they tell you enough that it makes some sense…
I’m pretty sure only the director’s cut has the excerpts from the book. It still takes at least two watches and some pausing.
The Boys. That show is a wild ride.
Requiem for a Dream and Happiness. Crazy movies.
I though about that the first time I saw Requiem for a Dream, and then suddenly thought to myself. It’s not actually mindblowing. It’s just a formulaic, cookie cutter story of a bunch of people doing drugs, I kind of think it’s really overrated from a critical standpoint now. But I did get an initial shock.
Rubber. I went in knowing it was a WTF film, but had NO idea how far out it was. It made Sharknado make sense by comparison.
But why did you watch it? No reason.
It was also an excellent movie! That tire really made me feel for it even without any facial expressions or dialog.
Sorry To Bother You was a wild fucking ride. Definitely watch it high for maximum wtf
I still have no fucking clue what that movie was supposed to be about
The Pacific Rim sequel. I just thought:“Why??”.
Everything everywhere all at once, but in a good way
Almost every episode of Raised By Wolves, especially the second season when things got REAL bonkers. Man, I miss that show.
I liked it a lot.
Lol. Just continuous one upping the WTF each episode. It was so good for that.
Dark City
Just inject it in your head!
EXistenZ - The final question “Are we still in the game?” really summarized the first watch experience. You have no clue what’s going on anymore by that point. Same goes for Total Recall by the way - that movy also has you guessing what’s real and what isn’t throughout 90% of the runtime.
