i would agree with number 1, that film has screwed my mind up many times trying to think about it. as for the other 4, i havent seen any of them, and one of them i havent even heard of so can't comment :angel:

Not heard of any of them .........

You do realise the article was originally in the Guardian? :Yikes: ;) :D

The only one I've seen is Donnie Darko, incredibly baffling film but easily one of the most intelligent films that I have seen in a long time. It's on sale in HMV for £3.99, but I think I'll wait for the special edition.

I have Eyes Wide Shut on DVD, it's an amazing film.

Re: Five films that defy understanding
 

I've got Memento on DVD. Top film. You watch the last chapter then you go to one before.

You may think it might be boring, knowing the ending, but it's how he got there.

On the DVD, there is a version of it, in chronological(sp?) order as well.

I've also got Donnie Darko, which I think is very good as well. Mad?

Re: Five films that defy understanding
 

i agree with donnie darko.... have watched it and haven't a clue what it was about :erm:

and eyes wide shut, was definately a weird film

Re: Five films that defy understanding
 

Eyes wide shut..... :disturbd: :confused:

Re: Five films that defy understanding
 

Eyes Wide Shut was an excellent film.....

Re: Five films that defy understanding
 

I agree but it was a bit impenetrable

Re: Five films that defy understanding
 

Only seen one of them, Eyes Wide Shut and it was the strangest film ever.
Very bizarre.
I wouldnt rate it.

Re: Five films that defy understanding
 

I've seen Number 2 The Draughtsman Contract.It's an interesting film and I enjoyed it but I doubt any of you will.

Number 3 I thought was terrible but only because I was repelled by the story.


Number 4 MoMento is BRILLIANT! Definitely watch it if you haven't seen it.Guy Pearce is terrific.

I think I'll avoid the last one.Lesbian love scenes!! Bah!

However I keep meaning to get the first one one of these days.

Incog. :)

The only one I've seen is Momento, I remember that it was a crackin movie, and my brother, sister-in-law and I sat up into the wee hours talking about it. Unfortunately we ended up rater drunk and I'm buggered if I can remember much of the film now. :erm: :dunce:

Re: Five films that defy understanding
 

Haven't seen any of them. Apocalypse Now and The Deer Hunter would be at the top of my list.

Re: Five films that defy understanding
 

Everyone raves about Donnie Darko but I've watched it and I can't see why people rate it so highly. It is just a slow, boring, going nowhere film and people try and read way too much into the storyline. Time travel :erm:
