Psychological mind-bending movies are the particular few where the writer emphasize on the mental state of the character, but, what’s the point of watching a film if at the end you aren’t like “Damn! What did I just watch?” So, here’s a list of movies which will leave you scratching your head with confusion and suspense.


5. Shutter Island (2010)

Director – Martin Scorsese

Based on the novel by Dennis Lehane of the same name, this blockbuster tells us a tale of a U.S. Marshall Teddy Daniels, played by the Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who visits the Shutter Island (a mental institution) in search of a missing patient. But, as we move forward more secrets begin to unfold which keeps us hooked. Maybe, the disappeared patient was not missing! Just, maybe!


4. Inception (2010)

Director – Christopher Nolan

Christopher Nolan is a name you remember when you talk about god-level work in the industry. This, yet another film starring Leonardo DiCaprio is a story about a man named Cobb who steals corporate secrets by entering into the subconscious mind of the victims by dream sharing technologies. With this amusing concept, Inception is a piece which will completely bend your mind.


3. The Sixth Sense (1999)

Director – M. Night Shyamalan

This story is about a young kid, Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) who is scared because he takes notice of dead people. His mom calls in for a psychiatrist who can help her son, but, some things don’t seem right with his doctor too. The story gets more interesting when Cole says: “I see dead people, they don’t know they are dead.” This is a tale which keeps you intrigued from the very beginning to the end and no one can ever forget the wild twist in the end.


2. Interstellar (2014)

Starring – Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway
Director – Christopher Nolan

While reading this list, if you felt that I have a fetish for Christopher Nolan movies, then yes, you’re right! Yet another masterpiece by Sir Nolan. He’s a genius when it comes to direction and storytelling. This movie is living proof of the same. Though there are loopholes, the story of the other dimensions and about how an astronaut saves his planet is beautifully showcased in this film.


1. Fight Club (1999)

Starring – Brad Pitt, Edward Norton
Director – David Fincher

This movie starring Brad Pitt will keep you engaged and focused because of its thrilling plot and amazing art of storytelling which is quite complex and will twist your mind. It gets more interesting because it explores the life of an insomniac office worker whose life changes when he meets a man named Tyler. Tyler introduces him to the Fight Club, where people go to work out their problems by fighting, but, trust me there is much more to this than just a Fight Club.
