Doomed Megalopolis.
After two and a half hours of this evil Thai general wizard guy trying to destroy Tokyo, this magic glowing naked girl shows up and gives him a hug... And he cries a single tear... and that's the end... All he wanted was a hug...
What the fuck?

I found the movie Casshern one continuous mindfuck simply because it was all one huge blur. The camera kept changing every fifth of a second, and there was so much CGI on the screen at any one time, it almost covered up the bullshit anti-war, anti-nazi message. My fucking god, that was a bad movie. There is something exhausting about watching what is essentially a feature length music video.
Lot of mindfuckery in the book The Magus too. Apparently it was made into one of the worst film adaptations of all time.
In the other-wise attrocious pornographic anime, Legend of the Over-fiend there was an admittably effective mindfuck moment in which a bunch of de-limbed, mangled corpses of naked women get up and start making snide remarks towards some guy as though the whole thing was just a big joke.

Actually, when I saw it, I thought I knew how it would end based on the warnings given throughout the movie, but then the movie one-upped me in mind-fuckery and flipped the entire perception of reality itself upside down. The mere shock of those last ten minutes gave me more of a "What the fuck was that?" moment than anything else.Omikron009 said:
The Dark Tower:
No wonder he remembered the fight with Cort to earn his guns in the very first novel.
After being forewarned by Stephen King himself, Roland enters the Dark Tower alone only to find the endless spirals and doorways within it to reveal pivotal points within his past. Points at which he could have performed an opposite action. He walks to the top, finds a door with his name on it, and opens it only to find the apotheosis of all deserts standing before him.
The Dark Tower (Gan/God) then tells him that every time he makes it to the Tower by sacrificing others and choosing to walk inside (he was only supposed to reach the Dark Tower) he will be sent back out into the desert to walk the journey again...and he will have no memory of the previous trek. Then God punishes him by sending him through the door at the top of Tower.
However, Gan gives him the Horn of the Eld, he hears the voices call from within the Dark Tower, walks with the Horn of the Eld upon his belt...
The man in black fled across the desert. And the gunslinger followed.
You are given a slight hint that maybe he remembered the last journey this time...given the fact that he seems to know he would make Walter talk upon the Golgotha at the end of the first novel.

Pretty much everything by Stephen King, although i think its because he gets an idea for a book and then has no clue how hes gonna finish it and BSes the last few chapters.
IT-its a giant spider in space with a dead turtle that talks!
The Dome-Oh yeah, the leatherhead aliens were messing with us the whole time.
I would put those on spoiler tags, but they don't make sense to the story at all and theres no "hints" in the story, just oh you wanted a logical ending? im a famous writer *gives you the finger, and a mindfuck ending*

The Proposition's ending wasn't exactly surprising but it was shocking when I walked in on it at the very end. I had to see the rest of it. I'm glad I'm one of the four people in America who've seen this film.
Anybody ever see the Aeon Flux episode called Chronophasia? It doesn't end in a mindfuck, it is one continuous jarring mindfuck. The only thing the writer would say about it was "yes, I have taken LSD." I would say Eraserhead, but that was mindrape. How about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBGGAjMg9vw
That's weird. I never said this. Someone else made this post under my name, but it isn't anything bad. Odd.MortalForNow said:

Would you kindly notice the plot twist at the end of Fight Club?
That one really got me.
However, 2001 just confused the hell out of me:
20 minutes in I was thinking "Did I buy the soundtrack?"
The next 10 minutes was "Yay! Monkeys!" then after 20 minutes it was "O....K, monkeys"
After another 10 minutes I was thinking "Yay people!"
Then after
I thought, OK, the movie is over, not revolutionary as I thought, but not bad.
Then during the final I don't know how long, I was just thinking "Woah! Kubrick was on some hella strong acid"
