My vote would go to Lost Highway, or Mission: Impossible.

If i wouldnt have been paying CLOSE attention to VANILLA SKY i DEF would not have got it. the only reason i did get it was because my friend saw it b4 me and said he had to watch it twice just to make sense out of the ending!

I agree with Lost Highway, Ed, because that movie is just purposely and ridiculously non-sensical... I think, for Mission: Impossible though, you should just try and look up some of the "spy terms" in a dictionary next time you sit down and watch it. I'm sure that'll help. (I don't remember the plot too well myself, but I'm sure people with more knowledge than us about spy stuff could easily tell you and I what happened.)
I would nominate "2001: A Space Odyssey" as well, because I saw no point to the movie when I watched it last year. I'm also confused as to how people could find the movie entertaining.

Anything that's directed by David Lynch or David Fincher.

I second that. What a confusing movie! If somebody can do so: tell me what the fuck happened?

Yes, yes...2001 was quite confusing. But still, a landmark film. Even though I do find it a wee boring.

I'd say the most confusing movie I've seen in recent years was Mulholland Drive.
As for Mission: Impossible, I loved it...I think it was simply too smart of a movie for its target audience.

The only thing that I found confusing sbout Lost Highway is the whole idea of psychogenetic fugue. This means livinng another life that you created inside your head. Now this could be symbolically represented in this film, but I'm not sure. I know it's the main point of the meaning. Here's my interpretation.
This guy killed his wife and then created this other guy inside his head, except its taken to a literal level in the movie, actually changing bodies, with a different life, and uses this guy to sort out his own issues.

How can Mission Impossible 1 be a confusing movie? I was able to follow the pace.....
Lost Highway is a confusing film....the words WTF was lingering over my head as I was watching it...
Other confusing films:
Vanilla Sky
Mulholland Drive
Solaris-2002
The Game-(the begining part....)
Hannibal21

Oh, yay, a film that was meant to bore. :rolleyes:
I'm confused as to how a bunch of simians banging on bones for 15 minutes is "brilliant".
I'm also confused as to how 15 minutes of light patterns is "brilliant".
Was I forgetting a certain substance by the name of marijuana when I watched this movie? Is that how people come to like it? :confused: :confused: :confused:
What was good about the film? Explain, if you please (though if you DID smoke pot while watching it, don't bother).
P.S. - It's not so much the amount of slowness in the film that bothers me, as much as that it was slowness without any point whatsoever, in my opinion. Though maybe I just wasn't following well enough.

It was thought-provoking...and ground-breaking.

Sliding Doors (1998) - What the hell? Paltrow all over the place every damn second...:mad:
Not Another Teen Movie (2001) - Just damn confusing with all those characters and the stuff they're destined to do.

Solaris (9/10) was confusing for a while until I realized what it was.

Naw. SOLARIS provoked thought... 2001 didn't provoke shit for me, and the only ground it broke was my sidewalk when I threw my TV out the window afterwards. (Yuk yuk yuk :p )

I thought 2001 was stupid and way overrated, not to say that Kubrick can't direct though, b/c he can. Anyway, I wanna know why anyone would have thought Minority Report was confusing?

Eye Of The Beholder starring Ashley Judd and Ewan McGregor.
It didn't make a lick of sense. I still have no clue to as what the film was about.

Mulholland Drive
The first time I sat through that movie...I was like what the fuck was I watching for the last two hours?
Total Recall
Don't ask me why but when I was younger that film really made no sense to me at all.

Yeah, Ewan McGregor sure has a lot of confusing movies...
What the fuck was up with A Life Less Ordinary?
(Okay, so that's only two... :rolleyes: :p )

Moulin Rouge could be considered chaotic, but not confusing....besides that...yeah...about two ;)
I enjoyed A Life Less Ordinary, even though I didn't know what the fuck was going on...that little Bobby Darrin ditty was pretty far out.

What REALLY confused me though was Jackass: The Movie...
I mean, I couldn't figure out ANY connections between ANY of the scenes. The closest I could come to figuring out the plot was that one of the young men really wanted to be a Chippendale. Any thoughts on this, anyone?
;) ;) :D :p :cool:

Are we talking about the same movie here!? Why did you find "A Life Less Ordinary" confusing...??? I thought it was a fairly straightforward flick.
Btw, I'll go with...
~Mulholland Drive
~Jacobs Ladder
I do like them both mind you...particularly "Mulholland Drive"!

Um......... How about the part where Ewan is shot and then a beam of light comes out of the hole?...

Hmmm...It's a wee bit stylised. I wouldn't say it was confusing.
The "Trainspotting Team" (Hodge, Boyle, MacDonald) often throw in the odd bizarre sequence.
Have you seen "Trainspotting"...The toilet sequence and the dissapearing into the floor are along the same lines...
I wouldn't say the actual Movie was confusing though...but we're all entitled to our opinion love ;).

Well, I actually remember very little about ALLO except for its ending... (I didn't like it much though)
And, yeah, Trainspotting is great.
