Movies are a source of Entertainment, Knowledge, Happiness, Sadness and Nostalgia
But there are few Movies that make you Expand the Limits of your Mind
This thread lists few such Movies
At the end, I have a Bonus to help you Sharpen Your Mind
Hop on to this Mind-Bending Ride
1. Inception
No list of Mind-Bending Movies can be complete without this Master-Piece from Nolan.
It took a simple concept such as dream and kept adding layers to it to the extent that it becomes simply too much.
Easily takes more than one viewing to comprehend it
2. The Butterfly Effect
According to Chaos Theory, a Butterfly flapping its wing can cause a Hurricane Half-way round the Globe.
Based on this Theory, the Movie Beautifully demonstrates how our smallest of Decisions can have far-reaching consequences on lives of many people
3. Primer
Primer is a Movie that makes Inception look like a Cakewalk !!
Two friends create a Time-Machine and they end up creating as many as 9 overlapping timelines.
They lose control of themselves, their friendship, and the technology.
4. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Basic concept is simple here: You can completely Erase someone from your Memory.
It's the Implications of this concept that make this Movie Interesting.
Throw in a lot of Emotions and You have a Heady Cocktail here.
5. Matrix
One of the Cult Movies that made us all ask the All-Important question: Is Our World Real or just a Simulation?
If we go Deeper, it has strong parallels with all the Eastern Philosophies.
6. The Tree of Life
This is a Philosophical Master Piece that explores the deepest questions about the origins of life and the creation of the universe.
At the same time it's also centered on an intimate coming-of-age story of a young boy's defining childhood influences.
7. The Da Vinci Code
Our Mind should be Open enough to entertain any Idea without accepting it.
This Controversial Movie, based on a Page-Turner Novel by same Title, epitomizes above Principle.
The Trail of Clues left by a dying man helps uncover the Biggest Mystery of all time.
8. Coherence
The Movie is based on a Scientific Theory referred to as Schrรถdingerโ€™s cat theory which talks about Possibility of existence of multiple simultaneous realities at the same time.
In this movie, the Unchosen realities continue to exist and make the movie interesting
9. Shutter Island
A prison escape brings the Protagonist, Teddy, to a fortress-like insane asylum.
As the investigation deepens, Teddy realizes he will have to confront his own fears if he hopes to make it off the island alive.
The Open nature of Ending makes it a perfect Watch
10. The Prestige
While the Movie is Easiest to watch in this List, it still is one of the Great Works of Nolan.
Two Magicians trying to one-up each other and going to any lengths for doing so.
One dialogue summarizes it "The Audience Wants to be Fooled".
11. The Illusionist
An entertainer's magical abilities are wowing the crowds, with an act that ranges from tricks to an apparent capacity to raise the dead.
The film will trick you at every step of the way. When it finally ends, you will be left mesmerized by what you just saw.
12. Predestination
As his last assignment, a temporal agent is tasked to travel back in time and prevent a bomb attack in New York in 1975.
The hunt, however, turns out to be beyond the bounds of possibility.
By the time it comes to an end, you are left with a bedazzled mind.
13. Frequency
What if you had the chance to travel back in time and change just one event in your life? What would it be?
For our Hero, there is no question. He would save his now dead father.
Now he may get exactly what he wished for -- and much more than he bargained for.
14. Mulholland Drive
It offers the greatest cinematic mystery of all time. This Movie lingers, fascinates, and feels like a hypnotic narration of an extended mood opera. It is one of those films with its underlying themes of identity and delusion that will stay with you forever.
15. Mother
Warning: This Movie is not for the Faint-Hearted.
On the surface, this is a simple Home-Invasion Movie.
But watch it carefully, and you will find frightening parallels with, say, the Life.
It is Controversial, Provocative and highly Sensitive.
Just Experience It.
