What movie fucked with your head the most?
I just finished watching Requiem for a Dream (for the hundredth time). Darren Aronofsky needs a serious hug from his daddy.
What movies have you watched that fucked with your head so much that you were still thinking about it the next day?

@IndySent I Didn't know it was a book! The movie was with Jennifer Connelly and Ben Kingsley. 2003.
The one I posted about. "Mother!" It was twisted. I am crazy, so I completely understood it.

I have heard that and others said it was awful - I'm in a dilemma now....
I liked it. The husband was a demon or something.
The Exorcist. I was at an age where I was putting magical thinking behind me. This movie caused me to pause and also created a few nightmares. I think the hype this movie created among the religious community added to the movie's impact.

Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey still blows me away.
A more recent mind bender is Christopher Nolan's Momento.

I do like a space film that isn't afraid to venture into sonic realism.
Memento stands out. Just the idea of someone not being able to form any short term memory is a trip.

I think we must have posted roughly at the same time. Yes, Momento was a mind bender, right from the opening when we realized--after the discarded gun flew back into the killer's hand and the Polaroid photo from which the image had vanished before our eyes was sucked back into the camera--that we were watching the entire scene in reverse order.
Moral of that story: if a lovely woman asks you to spit in a cup of coffee, don't! 
Don't laugh but the first Paranormal Activity did. It's because I couldn't get past the thought that things were happening to me and around me while I was sleeping and totally vulnerable. I still have trouble falling asleep if I think about it before I go to bed!

"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," but the book got me long before the movie was made. Changed the course of my life.

I lived the movie before the movie... I saw the original... "where the buffalo roams" with Peter Boyle and Bill Murray on acid but it was other times.
@GipsyOfNewSpain I remember "Where the Buffalo Roam." Bill Murray made a great Hunter S.. I think Benicio del Toro played a better Dr. Gonzo than Peter Boyle, though I do love Peter Boyle. In any case, it certainly made a big impression on my teenage mind.
@Lysistrata Homeboy Benicio is a good actor... It was Hunter Thompson after all... he had fond memories of Puerto Rico... he was stationed at Ramey Air Force Base... thus the Rum Diaries. My teen buddies were extras on the Rum Diaries. There will never be Press again as Hunter Thompson.
@GipsyOfNewSpain The journey of psychedelic discovery was given a bad name by hippies.
@Lysistrata They had to blame somebody besides Timothy Leary and with the CIA background and the CIA jumpers on the 50's... hippies with their "peace and love dropped out attitude" were perfect for the government agenda. I lived those days to the fullest. Hippies found a Paradise in P.R. I met many I hanged out with. The runaways.
The "Shining" , with Jack Nicholson. Man, I wouldnt go on ski vacations with my family without fear for years. That movie is just one of those things that could happen....

Another great one. I was baffled until after he took the red pill red pill and Kansas went bye-bye!
The Exorcist. I saw it when I was 8 and had nightmares for years about a little girl turning her head around 180 degrees.
The Shining also seriously impressed me.

I was 8 and easily impressed. Now it seems more silly and farcical. @BawdyEclectic
I saw it when I was young. I laughed at it, the special effects were, though good at the time were easily fake.
A tie between Une Chien Andelou and L'Age D'or.
