Inception - 2010
This film is set in a world where it is possible to intercept another persons mind and see their deepest thoughts. It is also a world where ideas can be stolen straight from ones subconscious. Dom Cobb is one of the finest criminals in this field and has built up a hefty list of crimes. Crimes that are now forcing him to live a life on the run. He is offered a once off opportunity to wipe the slate clean if he can just plant an idea into someones mind. This is not as easy as it may seem and has never been achieved before. An interesting movie that will leave you thinking.

Pulp Fiction - 1994
This is a difficult film to describe. Lets just say that it involves two hit men, a gangsta, a boxer and a couple on a date. Their lives become intertwined in this dark and even funny at times film. All I can say is watch it.

The Sixth Sense - 1999
A fantastic film about a child physiologist who attempts to help a young boy who claims he 'sees dead people'. The physiologists relationship with the boy deepens as he attempts to help him with his visions. It is a bit of a cross between thriller and horror with plenty of scary scenes. If you like a great ending, you need to watch this one.

The Prestige - 2006
This is the battle between two rival magicians. One blames the other for the death of his wife and both continually try to upstage each other with bigger and more spectacular illusions.

Taxi Driver - 1976
This is the story of an ex-Vietnam war veteran who is suffering from insomnia and works as a night time Taxi driver. He begins to realize just how evil the world is and that someone needs to do something about it. It is the story of a man who has been ostracized from society and takes matters into his own hands to make things right. A depressing film but worth a watch.

The Game - 1997
Obviously I like this one.
This is a film about a lonely but very successful business man who is given a strange gift by his far more reckless brother who just enjoys living life as it is dealt. The gift leads him on a strange but edge of your seat adventure. The movie has some serious twists at the end and is in my opinion an all time great. Check it out.

Hmmm - I don't think I would have added the Prestige (although it's a good movie). Like others below, I definitely would have added Usual Suspects - one of my favorites. I love it tho' when I find a movie list where I can say I've seen 'em all! -
I have to admit I haven't seen the Usual Suspects, I will have to check it!
Thanks. -
I have seen most of these movies, I loved Inception and the Prestige, I think I would add the Usual Suspects to the list and Afred Hichcock movies like Rear Window and Vertigo :) -
I've seen all except The Prestige. I loved The Sixth Sense and The Game. The ending of Seven upset me too much... How about adding The Others? -
Ohh yes, The Others was a fantastic film! Talk about great endings. I might add that to my best scary movies list
-
I've seen most of these. Seems like a good list to me! -
Thanks for checking out my lens. Some are better than others but The Game is my favorite. -
