22 Movies That Made People Feel Insane
Most movies follow a formula that, if you apply even two brain cells to the task, you learn to recognize pretty quickly. The five-act structure, the hero’s journey, whatever you want to call it — at a certain point, you go in knowing what to expect. That’s why some filmmakers love nothing more than taking your expectations, twisting them into a balloon animal and performing sex acts on them that you didn’t even realize were possible.
As a result, when Redditor NotSoSnarky asked r/AskReddit, “What’s the best mindfuck movie?” everyone could recall that one special film that left a permanent bruise on their brains. From multiverses to nonlinear timelines to way more dildos than expected, Reddit insists that these movies will do weird things to your weirdest parts (your brain lobes, perverts).
