What’s a mindfuck? A movie that plays with your mind, confuses you, and leads you on. It’s not just a movie with a twist ending. Mindfucks are borderline-incoherent, dreamlike, and surreal.

Not for those with heart conditions. You might get dirty looks if you mention these films. Welcome aboard fellow traveller. Remember it's only a movie...
Movies to watch when you think you have seen every good horror movie. These are horror movies that don't appear on most horror lists, but are still very worth watching.
A selection of films, famed for their decision to throw convention out of the window. This list pays homage to the great surrealist films from the history of cinema.
Collection of psychological thrillers, avoiding too many horror and sci-fi crossovers.
Surrealism in cinema refers to the use of dreamlike and irrational elements in films to create a unique visual style that challenges conventional notions of reality. It originated from the artistic movement of surrealism in the 1920s and 30s, which sought to tap into the subconscious mind through the use of irrational imagery and symbolism. In film, surrealism often employs techniques such as discontinuous editing, unexpected imagery, and the use of special effects to create a dream-like atmosphere and to challenge the viewer's perception of reality. The aim of surrealist films is to provoke an emotional and intellectual response from the audience, and to blur the boundaries between the conscious and the unconscious mind.
A disturbing or extremely confusing experience, in particular one that is caused by deliberate psychological manipulation.
Brace yourself for mind-altering twists, mind-warping enigmas, and an unrelenting assault on your senses. It's an audacious celebration of dark, cerebral pleasure that will leave you exhilarated, mystified, and begging for more. So grab your popcorn, dim the lights, and let the mindfuckfest begin!
Includes all the films of the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die Book, including films culled to make way for newer releases, up to the 2021 edition.
The Best LIST!!!!
Celebrating the cinematically surreal, bizarre, cult, oddball, fantastique, strange, psychedelic, and the just plain WEIRD!
