These are the films that are thought provoking, crazy and simply amazing all at the same time. Being a huge fan of thought provoking abstract films like "clockwork orange" and "memento", I wanted to make a list for others who love that genre. If anyone has any reccomends, please email them to me at night@fastmail.ca and I will add them to the list. Thanks!
