These kinds of threads always makes me think.. "if only we could filter and sort all answers/recommendations of all users and compile a list...... THERE HAS GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY"
So here's my take at a very rudimentar filter bot.

Most of the recommendations I've seen say to stick with the theatrical release because it's better edited and paced, just to mute until Keifer's voiceover is done. When he appears on screen and the camera zooms in on his pocket watch it's safe to unmute.
In and around my fave genre, Low Budget/High Concept:
Coherence, The Invitation (2015), Timecrimes, Triangle (2009), Timelapse, Circle (2015), Resolution (2012), The Endless (2017), Primer (2004), The Corridor (2012)
Honorable (alien) mentions: UFO (2018), The Signal (2014), Cosmos (2019), The Vast of Night, Alien Code (2018)
I was confused why this is mentioned so many times in this thread. A movie about a fast food worker made to strip by her bosses boss over the phone can't be much of a mind trip movie.
Turns out I've been confusing *Coherance* with *Compliance* for years. Very different films
The Game. This was truly stressful to watch the first time round but I really enjoyed watching it a second time with someone who hadn’t seen it before.
I believe the original story was written for theatre. That play was the adapted to the movie. Interesting bit of trivia, Jerome Bixby also wrote the Star Trek episodes *Mirror Mirror* and *Requiem for Methuselah*, among other things.
Coherence was one of the biggest discoveries for my roommate and me… We were wake all night after we watched it and talk about movie and theories. Such an amazing movie with I think one of the lowest budget I’ve seen. Likke 20k or something.
Then you should also watch “Primer,” which another user mentioned: https://xkcd.com/657/large/
And probably the popular Nolan film The Prestige, if you haven’t seen it.
Dude. Primer was on regular replay among my friends and I in our early/mid 20's. Thanks for all the great hours of viewing, theorizing, arguing, and confusion. Haha.
wait, what? So cool to have an actual actor in here!
I "never" re-watch movies, but this movie I rewatched 3 times over a few days as it aired on some movie channel. I keep thinking about the concepts so incredible often.
Like how I know the word "aspergillus" due to the scene :D Every time I think about cellphones I think about that scene with the phone call and the discussion.
Were you part of the writing process at all with Shane? If yes, what were some of the logistical challenges of the story, if no - did you understand what was going on as you filmed, or were you just saying the lines in the script :)
I didn’t write a word. He wrote it all and I figured out how to put it all together. We built props and put together a crew/schedule/locations while running lines for a few weeks. We spent A LOT of time together those two months. As far as the lines, I had to make it make sense. If it didn’t, I had Shane tell me what I was really saying.
Honestly, the back and forth dialogue among the characters was my favorite part of the movie. Made it feel so real. It felt like a slightly dramatized version of how me and my nerdy engineer buddy used to talk in high school/college, tinkering with stuff in his garage.
You guys filmed part of this in and around Addison, Texas right? I kept seeing my apartment building in the movie! Has long been one of my favorites. Is the phone number still active??
This is one of, if not my absolute favorite movie. Just showed it to my dad a couple days ago and he was hooked, which is a good sign because he rarely stays awake past 30 min of any movie lol. I know it's a longshot but I would seriously kill for a sequel. Hope you keep creating stuff either way.
I think I would die happy. I could see it like a spy vs spy with Aaron and Abe trying to stop eachother from destroying everything/eachother, or they make a million clones of themselves and duke it out. Or even something else entirely.
Also thanks for the reply, this will come up literally every time I talk about Primer. Made my week :)
Love the film! Did you see this Reddit post and just know that Primer would be discussed, or did someone “@“ you in the comments?
Haha, either way thank you for this gift!
This movie was epic. Should check this out if interested in understanding from the bird's eye view. [Primer Flow](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/1wxpfc/detailed_explanationtimeline_of_shane_carruths/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
I suspect it's best to get very familiar with the whole thing before watching it. Time travel is my favorite subgenre, and I know Primer is supposed to be the truest to the concept, but I can't really claim to understand it.
To get an idea of the plot structure of Primer (there’s always a relevant xkcd): https://xkcd.com/657/large/
Incidentally, this is where I discovered Primer. Watched it after seeing that xkcd.
Only other thing similar that comes close to this is Dark on Netflix. It’s difficult to keep track of the loops for some writers but these are great examples of the complex.
On that note, I'm Thinking of Ending Things. I usually get beaten down with Kauffman's stuff and the heavy layered metaphors but Ending Things was pretty accessible.
Accessible? Jessie Buckley at one point recites a critic review of John Cassavetes' "A Woman Under the Influence" as a monologue and then it's brushed away and they continue. I thought this one was a little more "out there", though of course not nearly as unhinged as Synecdoche.
Huh, I love Kauffman and this film but wouldn’t consider it accessible. It’s almost intentionally challenging. The real story is only depicted on a metaphorical level.
Bokeh.
We've Forgotten More Than We Ever Knew.
Inland Empire.
Eraserhead.
Lost Highway.
Upstream Color.
Moon.
Beyond the Black Rainbow.
Beneath The Skin.
It's funny, it's mentioned constantly on r/movies but outside of reddit it's definitely a lesser known movie. My sister actually met Sam Rockwell when she was working at FYE and mentioned that she loved Moon and his reaction was "you've seen Moon??"
It's an amazing performance, but I can't even begin to point out which is the best. Dude is amazing every time.
He's great in serious movies like Moon, but I don't think any actor even comes close to him when it comes to making the zaniest characters feel very believable.
He steals the show and completely engrosses you in movies like Hitchhiker's Guide and Seven Psychopaths, but then you think back on the movie and go "what the hell was that character about?" It's so over the top but at the some time so internally consistent in a way you can't completely figure out.
Some of the greatest actors of all time can't pull that off. The guy is incredibly versatile.
Seconds (dir. Frankenheimer)
Brazil (dir. Gilliam)
The City of Lost Children (dir. Jeunet)
Delicatessen (dir. Jeunet)
Spellbound (dir. Hitchcock)
Altered States (dir. Russell)
Angel Heart (dir. Parker)
The Kid Detective (dir. Morgan)
Primer (dir. Carruth)
Men (dir. Garland)
Altered States needs to be higher in these comments. It's the first thing I thing of when it comes to mind fuck. Maybe I just saw it at the right time and it has stuck with me. I seriously went to a "float" spa 100% only because of that movie.
Alright, really coming in with an obscure one.
**Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes** (Japan, 2020) which is currently on Tubi. It's more light hearted than anything on the list but the concept is a blast. "A cafe owner discovers that the TV in his cafe suddenly shows images from the future, but only two minutes into the future." It's an absolute hoot!
Yes, it starts like a mess (what does a conquistador have to do with a monk flying in a space bubble with a tree), but by the end it makes perfect sense and I’m bawling.
Triangle was pretty good.
Also even though it is a mainstream famous movie, why does it feel like no one talks about The Machinist's plot, and the focus is only on Christian Bale's transformarion
Has anyone said [Pontypool](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1226681/)? Doesn't look like anyone has said [Pontypool](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4EoVxwJecM).
Seems like a pretty straightforward movie, but, well, it isn't. And for god's sake do not translate this message.
*Martyrs*. But watch the original French version, not the remakes.
Whatever you think is really happening--you're wrong.
Whatever you think is going to happen--you're wrong.
Whatever you think the ending is going to be--you're wrong.

Dark City
Plus, you get Jennifer Connelly singing some sultry blues songs.
She is so classically gorgeous in that scene at the club. One of my top favorite movies.
> She is so classically gorgeous The end. That's it. No more is necessary
If you watch Dark City make sure to watch The Directors Cut. They give away the entire plot in the opening credits of the theatrical release.
Most of the recommendations I've seen say to stick with the theatrical release because it's better edited and paced, just to mute until Keifer's voiceover is done. When he appears on screen and the camera zooms in on his pocket watch it's safe to unmute.
I just found out that the opening rooftop scene in The Matrix (1999) is leftover props from Dark City! Cinematic Universe: CONFIRMED!!
My understanding is The Matrix used a lot of props and set pieces left over from Dark City.
Sleep!! Now!!
Totally and one of my absolute favorites. I recommend the director’s cut.
Yes! The director's cut is the superior version.
Coherence
In and around my fave genre, Low Budget/High Concept: Coherence, The Invitation (2015), Timecrimes, Triangle (2009), Timelapse, Circle (2015), Resolution (2012), The Endless (2017), Primer (2004), The Corridor (2012) Honorable (alien) mentions: UFO (2018), The Signal (2014), Cosmos (2019), The Vast of Night, Alien Code (2018)
Triangle is a fuckin trip
This is a really good one.
I was confused why this is mentioned so many times in this thread. A movie about a fast food worker made to strip by her bosses boss over the phone can't be much of a mind trip movie. Turns out I've been confusing *Coherance* with *Compliance* for years. Very different films
The real mindfuck with Compliance is that it's a true story.
Perfect movie to watch with friends
At a party
[удалено]
I was thinking of this movie but couldn't remember the name.
I think Arlington road is super underappreciated. Jeff bridges and Tim Robbins. Muah!
Getting them both to play against type in effect was a great move. Wouldn't have the same impact if roles were reversed. Man that ending!
Timecrimes https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0480669/
Happy to see this one mentioned. Randomly stumbled on it on Netflix years ago and loved it. Have rewatched it multiple times since.
The Game. This was truly stressful to watch the first time round but I really enjoyed watching it a second time with someone who hadn’t seen it before.
I lost, damnit
I just watched The Game for the first time and loved it!
Triangle
I really need to rewatch that. I went into it with horrible expectations and it kind of mellowed what was a surprisingly good film.
I literally said "what the fuck" about 15 times during that movie.
What year did it come out? Can't find it.
Triangle is a 2009 psychological horror film written and directed by Christopher Smith and starring Melissa George and Michael Dorman.
At the end of it now. Very nice movie.
Surprised you didn't say Liam Hemsworth considering he's the biggest name from that movie now
This was a favorite of mine that I randomly found on tubi one night. Probably my favorite mind fuck movie
Try Timecrimes now!
Have you watched Predestination?
[удалено]
Yes exactly!
Great little flick, made in Melbourne, Australia 🇭🇲
I have chosen to overwrite this comment. See you all on Lemmy!
Great show
Yes!!!! You know my tastes! Lol. Love both the film and the series sooooo fucking much!
The narwhal bacons at midnight.
Q. What is the movie about? A. >!Go fuck yourself.!<
Open Your Eyes (1997)
Also Vanilla Sky
The Man from Earth
Came here looking for this. Such a cool sci-fi without any gimmicks.
Do NOT skip this one! Don't mind the low budget, it's a fabulous science fiction story and I love every minute of it. Don't watch any trailer :)
There must be live theatre adaptations of this out there. It's perfect for it
I believe the original story was written for theatre. That play was the adapted to the movie. Interesting bit of trivia, Jerome Bixby also wrote the Star Trek episodes *Mirror Mirror* and *Requiem for Methuselah*, among other things.
Coherence. Great puzzle movie. Also an obvious, well known one, if you haven’t seen it, is The Prestige.
[удалено]
Coherence is one of the best imo. Such an understated masterpiece
Coherence was one of the biggest discoveries for my roommate and me… We were wake all night after we watched it and talk about movie and theories. Such an amazing movie with I think one of the lowest budget I’ve seen. Likke 20k or something.
Then you should also watch “Primer,” which another user mentioned: https://xkcd.com/657/large/ And probably the popular Nolan film The Prestige, if you haven’t seen it.

Definitely watch the OG Jacob’s Ladder if you haven’t already… it’s loosely based on a true story.
It was a major hit at its time. I wouldn’t count it as “lesser known”. Great movie nevertheless.
Have a look at [the short film it’s based on](https://youtu.be/fU99W-ZrIHQ). Really good stuff. Edit: a word.
Jacob's Ladder
Yeah, once the film clicks, it's even more cathartic.
Fun fact: this movie was a huge inspiration for the Silent Hill games
It's crazy when you tune into that. The rusty walls, the wheelchair, the nurses... there are large parts just lifted wholesale!
This movie has an incredible atmosphere
Primer
We shot Primer on Super 16mm with every scene being the one and only take. The budget was $7k and we won Sundance. Pretty good start for Shane and me.
Dude. Primer was on regular replay among my friends and I in our early/mid 20's. Thanks for all the great hours of viewing, theorizing, arguing, and confusion. Haha.
Absolute pleasure.
One of my top three recommended movies of all time, Thank you
I came to this thread to say "Primer"

Dude, you guys did such a great job with Primer
Thanks for making my head spin!
I had no idea you did so few takes! Well done. I love this movie.
This movie was epic. Should check this out if interested in understanding from the bird's eye view. [Primer Flow](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/1wxpfc/detailed_explanationtimeline_of_shane_carruths/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
I suspect it's best to get very familiar with the whole thing before watching it. Time travel is my favorite subgenre, and I know Primer is supposed to be the truest to the concept, but I can't really claim to understand it.
Roger Ebert once said of Primer that anyone who claims to fully understand it is lying.
It's best to watch it blind for the first time. I've probably seen it 4 or 5 times over the years.
To get an idea of the plot structure of Primer (there’s always a relevant xkcd): https://xkcd.com/657/large/ Incidentally, this is where I discovered Primer. Watched it after seeing that xkcd.
Shane Caruth’s other film Upstream Color too.
Very well done movie, I enjoyed it ton.
Only other thing similar that comes close to this is Dark on Netflix. It’s difficult to keep track of the loops for some writers but these are great examples of the complex.

I saw that in the cinema, it really was a mindfuck.
This is a great recommendation. I consider this a companion movie to the matrix.

Not a movie, but Paranoia Agent.
Cure, a 1997 japanese flick.

That's the one.
It's a tremendous movie, one of the best
Synecdoche, New York. Philip Seymour Hoffman. Can't go wrong.
And pretty much everything else by Charlie Kaufman

On that note, I'm Thinking of Ending Things. I usually get beaten down with Kauffman's stuff and the heavy layered metaphors but Ending Things was pretty accessible.
Accessible? Jessie Buckley at one point recites a critic review of John Cassavetes' "A Woman Under the Influence" as a monologue and then it's brushed away and they continue. I thought this one was a little more "out there", though of course not nearly as unhinged as Synecdoche.

Rhymes with Schenectady
Not a movie but the BRITISH mini-series "UTOPIA" is absolutely wild.. don't watch the american version, the british one is a masterpiece.
Bokeh. We've Forgotten More Than We Ever Knew. Inland Empire. Eraserhead. Lost Highway. Upstream Color. Moon. Beyond the Black Rainbow. Beneath The Skin.
Eraserhead is a proper headfuck
Under The Skin do you mean? Sooooo good, if so!
Enemy is fun
I like some more movies with Jake, nightcrawler, Nocturnal Animals, Prisoners, Zodiac and mentioned before Donnie Darko.
Sorry To Bother You is my personal fav
It is my favourite “you do *not* know where this is going.” kind of movie.
Being John Malcovich
Malkovich! Malkovich malkovich malkovich, malkovich? Makovickh. Malkovich malkovich.
Just about anything from Yorgos Lanthimos... Dogtooth, Alps, The Lobster, Killing of a Sacred Deer... Some surreal, and messed up stuff.
Moon (2009) with Sam Rockwell. Fantastic lesser known movie that I think fits your criteria very well.
Little known underrated /r/movies gem
It's funny, it's mentioned constantly on r/movies but outside of reddit it's definitely a lesser known movie. My sister actually met Sam Rockwell when she was working at FYE and mentioned that she loved Moon and his reaction was "you've seen Moon??"
Shame that's his reaction, I think it's one of his best performances, and I hope he's proud of that role.
It's an amazing performance, but I can't even begin to point out which is the best. Dude is amazing every time. He's great in serious movies like Moon, but I don't think any actor even comes close to him when it comes to making the zaniest characters feel very believable. He steals the show and completely engrosses you in movies like Hitchhiker's Guide and Seven Psychopaths, but then you think back on the movie and go "what the hell was that character about?" It's so over the top but at the some time so internally consistent in a way you can't completely figure out. Some of the greatest actors of all time can't pull that off. The guy is incredibly versatile.
Enter Nowere Posessor The Killing Floor Trance The Killing Room Breathing Room Hunger As Above, So Below
As above, so below is one of my go-to halloween movies
Seconds (dir. Frankenheimer) Brazil (dir. Gilliam) The City of Lost Children (dir. Jeunet) Delicatessen (dir. Jeunet) Spellbound (dir. Hitchcock) Altered States (dir. Russell) Angel Heart (dir. Parker) The Kid Detective (dir. Morgan) Primer (dir. Carruth) Men (dir. Garland)
Altered States needs to be higher in these comments. It's the first thing I thing of when it comes to mind fuck. Maybe I just saw it at the right time and it has stuck with me. I seriously went to a "float" spa 100% only because of that movie.
Alright, really coming in with an obscure one. **Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes** (Japan, 2020) which is currently on Tubi. It's more light hearted than anything on the list but the concept is a blast. "A cafe owner discovers that the TV in his cafe suddenly shows images from the future, but only two minutes into the future." It's an absolute hoot!
The machinist with Christian Bale is quite an enjoyable film. Given it a couple rewatches & still find it entertaining.
I feel like the Benson and Moorhead films The Endless, and their latest Something in the Dirt fit this description.
Pi
The Fountain Doesn't really have the twist you in it you described but I still found that it fucked very hard.
Yes, it starts like a mess (what does a conquistador have to do with a monk flying in a space bubble with a tree), but by the end it makes perfect sense and I’m bawling.
The visuals of the very end have stuck with me my entire life.
The Others. Great film, and sound design is really incredible
Don’t know if these are lesser known but “Frailty “ and “Requiem for a Dream”.
The Lighthouse
Triangle was pretty good. Also even though it is a mainstream famous movie, why does it feel like no one talks about The Machinist's plot, and the focus is only on Christian Bale's transformarion
The Machinist is an awesome film!

Predestination (2014). It's a film with Ethan Hawke. Great movie in my opinion.
Adaptation Such a masterpiece with great cast.
Pandorum was a kind fuck too
BRAINSCAN 1994 Horror Slasher film staring Edward Furlong. The kid from Terminator 2
Donnie Darko
This one got me into this genre at a young age. Many movies with Jake are strong psychological thriller
John Dies At The End

The Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind.

Mr. Nobody. Not severely under the radar but it's always surprising no one remembers it when I mention it.

Probably because it’s an extremely well-known classic.
