    Which of these movies still confuses you to this day?

      Would have liked to see "In the Mouth of Madness" or "12 Monkeys" covered for sure.

    "Donnie Darko" (the original, good version -- not the overexplained "director's cut") is about a kid who has a crush on his sister and has to imagine a catastrophic end to their entire world because he can't admit the truth about himself to himself. Watch the movie -- particularly the stuff with his sister, played by the actor's sister Maggie. It's all there. "Enemy" (2013) turned out to be a prescient warning about the rise of Donald Trump and the New American Fascism. "American Psycho" is a satirical comedy about the 1980s zeitgeist, from Wall Street bros with fetishes for designer business cards to Huey Lewis and the News. There is no "real" vs. "dream." Bateman's confession has meant nothing in the "real world" because the movie is a metaphor, not to be taken literally. As David Lynch says of his movies (including "Mulholland Dr.), the movie itself is the dream the audience has while watching it. But, you know, a movie ends where it ends for a reason. Sometimes it's a waste of time to speculate about what might have happened to the characters after the movie ends because that's not part of the story. It ends where it ends. (See the series finale of "The Sopranos." If the filmmakers had wanted to tell you more, they would have told you more.) The other movies mentioned here are Christopher Nolan fantasy puzzles that mean whatever he wants them to mean because he sees movies as games and he makes up the all the rules (like that little spinning thing in "Inception"). Whatever. And so on...

    you got inception wrong, throughout the movie he tells them not to let anyone else touch their tokens, and that the top was his wifes token (which he always tells people and lets them hold), when he is in a dream he wears his wedding ring and doesnt wear it outside of the dreams, so spinning the token is a way of nonchalantly checking if his wedding ring is on, in the end of the movie it isnt on so we know it isnt a dream

    We know the ending of Inception because Cobb wears his ring in reality but does not wear it in his dream state. He is wearing the ring in the end right before he spins the top to meet his children. The fact that they are wearing the same clothes they had on where he thinks about his children earlier in the film is meant to throw us off. If Nolan wanted to make it clear that the protagonist's concept of his own reality is the only thing that matters why go into so much detail as to make a clear distinction as to when and/or where Cobb wears his wedding ring?

    Recently I've noticed the word temporal, normally pronounced 𝘵𝘦𝘮poral, has started being pronounced as tem𝘱𝘰𝘳al. Is this due to AI narrators mispronouncing 𝘵𝘦𝘮poral as tem𝘱𝘰𝘳al...?

      Did you have to specify the two different pronunciations twice? That was a bit redundant. Anyway, I pronounce it temporal. It’s probably a regional thing. Some people think their way of pronouncing something is the only way lol.

    The first time I watched “Predestination” blew my mind. I’ve rewatched it a number of times and still have a hard time wrapping my mind around that he she was his her mother father and the fizzle bomber that set all of those things in motion. I love that movie!

    The "it's all a dream/illusion/hallucination" trope has got to be buried. It's now a cliche.

    Having watched most of these, The Fountain is the one I found to be completely unfathomable. It has zero story, the plot makes zero sense. It was literally 2 hours of my life I will never get back

    With Mullholland Dr. My interpretation is its all a suicide dream that Betty had after realizing she tried to kill someone she was obsessed with due to an unfulfilled and unrequited love.

    The aspect of perspective relative reality, in inception, is what's wrong with the World. What then, were the real, physical kids, left alone suffering and tormented? The bezt part is that no one cares. As long as it's all relative, right?
