The Matrix. I didn't get it until I had watched it 2-3 times but it was really simple when you get it.

inception
depends on what part your confused about. the overall plot or just the third act where they actually plant the memory in fischer?
Eraserhead. If you say that you understood what happened, you're a damn liar. Also, The Room.

Definitely recommend reading the comic before watching the film. I found it made the film much more enjoyable because it brought the novel to lifeIvan Brogstog said:
Heh, well heres the thing, It's a Coen Brother's film, and allllll of their movies are notorious for not having any meaning, it's more about the ride than the outcome. If you've seen Burn After Reading, which is another Coen Brothers movie, at the end a couple of the characters kind of make fun of how the movie was pointless and that they didnt learn anything, in true4 Coen Brothers fashion.PurpleSky said:

Oooh, I have Paprika and watched it(I fell asleep during some point in it though). The only thing I don't understand is howCasual Shinji said:
dreams started to meld with reality, and how the Paprika-thing managed to take down the Big Bad by eating him.
I've been wanting to see that for ages! Purely because of the brick-shitting thing...Steambroom said:
Anyway, my answer to this is The Matrix. Though I finally understood it after a while and a lot of Fridge Logic, just before my DVD collection was stolen. And although half my DVDs were replaced by the insurance company, they couldn't find copies of the Matrix films anywhere (which is stupid because I can find several copies in my local CEX alone...)...
Oh, and also, for confusion or brick-shitting, see half of Lars von Trier's films. Half are mindfucking (like Antichrist), the other half are purely experimental (like Dogville). And all are super-special awesome...
