The Matrix when it first came out.
It took a second watch before I even started to understand what was happening and even then my mom had to explain that he woke up outside of the Matrix in the pod.
Between the story and bullet-time, there was nothing like it at the time. It really was ground-breaking and blew my 15 year old mind.
Fight Club
Se7en
The Usual Suspects
“Fight Club”. Didn’t know anything about the book and rented it thinking it would be something like “The Best of the Best 3”
Needless to say, I was floored.
Children of Men. I saw it in the theater knowing absolutely nothing about the story. Such a fantastic film.
Inception
Interstellar was such an incredible movie
Coherence (2013), I think it’s included with prime and is a criminally slept on movie. Very twilight zone-like in writing and extremely creepy, and it was a mindfuck to say the least
Arrival
My Cousin Vinny.
I recently re-watched this as an adult and my interpretation of the prosecution lawyer took a complete 180-degree turn. He is a sympathetic, nice antagonist that just wants to do his job well. We get a few small clues from his dialogue / body language throughout the film that show this.
Lord of the Rings
Mad Max Fury Road. I’m a simple man and I like action movies, mkay
Blazing Saddles
Movie: Shutter Island
Series: Black Mirror
The new matrix . It blew my mind at how bad it was
Dune
Memento
Inception
Primal Fear
Righteous Kill
Fantastic planet
Spider-Man No Way Home
As opposed to what movie illegitimately blew my mind?
Arrival. I was pretty high though.
Ice age, the pirate one. I was on mushrooms tho
The butterfly effect
The machinist…
Predestination. Watch it!
the Dark krystal. the scenery looks so large and the puppets don’t even look like puppets.
Honestly, Jurassic Park. Seeing that movie in the theater for the first time when it came out was truly mind-blowing. It was just such a massive leap forward.
Blade Runner 2049.
Prisoners really knocked me sideways
Don’t Look Up. The only movie that managed to balance genuine comedy with a nightmarish apocalypse scenario. Not to mention they managed to make the overused “doomsday comet” trope genuinely terrifying. And the political and societal commentary was scathing.
Enemy
The whole truth
That movie has so many plot twist
Not the entire movie, but the scene where the Indians attack early in The Revenant was incredible. Also, the scene in Gravity where the space debris destroys everything was an incredible experience in Imax 3D.
**K19 Widowmaker**
Couldn’t sleep for weeks afterwards wondering whether or not I could enter the reactor core to do the welding after seeing what those guys looked like and knowing it was my turn next.
Not really a movie, but The Minds Eye series was awesome at the time.
I don’t know how no-one has said this yet, but Parasite. I was kind of expecting a twist, but I didn’t even *remotely* anticipate what it threw at you.
The Devil All the time
I’ve been recommending it everyone I can. Some of the scenes made my jaw drop. Great flick.
9 year old me absolutely lost it watching speed racer for the first time back in 09 I believe
Oceans Eleven (and Snatch).
Seriously, Inception got nothing on those twists. Great plot, great acting, great characters.
Three Identical Strangers.
uncut gems – how the hell you gonna end the movie like that
The Blair Witch Project. I wasn’t 100% sure it was fictional.
Jurassic Park, seeing those dinosaurs for the first time was indeed mind blowing.
The Sixth Sense, I didn’t know anything about the film going into it, obviously the twist ending was brilliant.
The Matrix. Bullet time was like a smaller scale of seeing great CGI for the first time.
T2 – any time the T-1000 morphed it was incredible.
The Game.
Avengers End Game- Not in a “omg this is so well written” or “I never saw that coming” type of way. But as a kid I never imagined I would see a super hero movie like that. I don’t want to spoil for anyone, but there were moments in the final act where I shed nerd tears of joy because it was so awesome. It blew my mind that they were able to pull such a thing off.
