Primer is one the better mind-fucking sci-fi movies.
Another vote for Predestination. That’s really a WTF film!
How about Dark City but I can’t stress enough the importance of the directors cut. The theatrical release had a studio imposed opening narrative that spoils most of the movies surprises!
So anyway, that’s a list. A better one might include:
- Brazil
- Lifeforce
- Forbidden Planet
- Dark Star
- Alphaville
- The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
- Flash Gordon (1980)
- Barbarella
- Ghost in the Shell (1995)
- Silent Running
Cloud Atlas (2012)
Cube (1997)
The Fountain (2006)The ten films on the list:
Black Swan (2010)
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Pi (1998)
Annihilation (2018)
Mulholland Drive (2001)
Donnie Darko (2001)
Primer (2004)
The Matrix (1999)
Inception (2010)
Couple good ones on that list, but over all not what I would choose to highlight. Other comments are mentioning some of them… one I haven’t seen mentioned…Event Horizon anyone? Maybe too horror for some but it is definitely sci-fi and so damn good.
