Films that keep you guessing
Any suggestions for good films that keep you guessing...or ones that aren't explained until the end? Doesn't have to be a well known film.

Good luck making any sense out of Mulholland Drive.
shareMH is one of those movies you have to watch more than once to make sense of, and maybe read a few fan theories. Once you get it, it winds up being one of the most brilliant mind benders ever made: https://filmsdeconstructed.wordpress.com/2017/11/08/yes-theres-actually-a-legit-explanation-for-mulholland-drive/
shareI actually inspired myself to watch it again, it's been years. And i'm gonna do just what you say. Read some blogs and watch some videos first. See if I can't get something different out of it. I'm sure i'll share my thoughts on its page when i'm done.
shareI saw Vanilla Sky in the movies on opening night not having a clue what it was about.
That movie had me wondering what the hell the entire time.
I enjoyed it tremendously.
Blue Velvet
Looper
The Sixth Sense

Miracle Mile, with Anthony Edwards. It's about a musician who gets a phone call from a guy claiming to be from a missile base, saying goodbye to his father because WW3 is supposedly about to start in a few hours. The movie keeps you constantly wondering whether the call was a prank or real, and you have no idea whether Edwards is just an idiot who started a mass panic or a guy who warned everyone about WW3 in time.
Also, 10 Cloverfield Lane. You will have no idea whether John Goodman's character is just an insane prepper guy or telling the truth until the last act.
The Game, 1997. I was as paranoid as the lead on the first viewing.
