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.

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
Only seen one of them, Eyes Wide Shut and it was the strangest film ever.

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.

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
