Description: Most films are pretty linear and easy to follow in their story telling. But some, some are designed to bewilder, obfuscate, and confuse. From the uneasy viewing to the unsettling, the ‘what did I just watch’ to the ‘why did I just watch this’,here’s a thought-blender (hopefully unique) list compiled for you. If you have any others to add, please PM me for consideration. I will be updating this list, so check back often.
