Screw it, let's make the most confusing complicated movie and throw "Inception" in the mix.

Edit: grammar

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

If youre looking for some real mindfuckery, why not Primer (2004) ?

I hate when people comment "lol" but lol

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

The Hangover would be great for the same reason.

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

The Room

It would tear everyone apart!

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 10 points 9 months ago

Hunger Games, maybe a different protagonist but Imagine being brutally killed over and over until they become both a killing machine and a revolutionary leader.

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Mulholland Drive

That id 100% watch

[–] discostjohn@programming.dev 3 points 9 months ago

Zombie movie makers are always looking for a fresh new angle. I think you just found one.

Literally the best tom cruise movie

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago
[–] AToM_exe@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

That would be Edge of Tommorow.

Edge of Tomorrow

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, and Scotty keeps banging his head on that bulkhead.

The paradox doesn't resolve until Spock realizes he should just let Kirk plummet to his death when he falls from the face of El Capitan at the beginning of the film, as the Trekumverate (Kirk, Spock, Bones) tore open a hole in space-time when they were ripping burbon-baked beans farts while singing Row, Row, Row Your Boat over a campfire, and Spock couldn't get the timing right.

Benjamin Button. Every new day is an age regression event with an increasing handicap. No unlimited tries.

[–] istoff@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Clean Slate. Dana Carvey.

Or Memento.

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Wouldn’t that be Run Lola Run (in that neither the main character nor anyone else is aware of the resetting story line)?

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Memento was going to be my answer too :)

[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 months ago

Fire Walk With Me, with Bill Murray helping Laura figure it out quicker.

[–] awesomesauce309@midwest.social 5 points 9 months ago

I feel like Jumper or limitless could do something interesting with time loops

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 4 points 9 months ago
[–] JTheDoc@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Momento and Groundhog Day.

Wakes up every day unable to remember anything, and can't even leave notes.

You could call it "Stuck in the Ground-hog"

[–] SgtAStrawberry@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I think you could make a really fun one with The Matrix. You can stack the Matrixes and have something like Neo flys of in the " end" just yo wake up in the pod aging.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 9 months ago

If you just watch Groundhog's Day backwards, it's like a mash-up with Tenet.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 9 months ago

The Shining.

[–] bitwaba@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

So, Returnal?

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Teen coming of age comedy. Nerd kid wants to be popular but can't ever seem to get his friends to be popular too.

[–] radix@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Isn't that basically the idea of the Deathloop videogame? Protagonist has 24 hours to assassinate a bunch of other assassins or mercs who are also caught in a timeloop.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Primer

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Donnie Darko

Ex Machina

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

The pianist

[–] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago
[–] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Click. That Adam Sandler movie about the remote which controls time. If both movies play out like they did separately, the amalgamation would stall out half way through and never recover.

[–] squid_slime@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Isn't that basically 50 first dates?
