I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Pi in this thread yet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_(film)

It's a low-budget philosophical/mathematical/surrealistic geek film.

Just watched the movie for the first time and understood pretty much nothing. Went through the Wikipedia summary and still I don't understand a lot of things. Will take another crack at it tommorow morning.

I discovered this through a fantastic list of 'mindfuck movies': http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/reviews/mindfuck_movi... It's definitely the most complex of the bunch, but most of them were great finds. Cube was another low-budget gem, and on the other end of the spectrum there's The Game with Michael Douglas.

Thanks for sharing that movie list, we just had a wonderful time watching Mulholland Dr. and it has been the topic of conversation whole day.
