jam.canoe.ca/Movies/2010/07/22/14789416-wenn-story.htmlTom Cruise's confusing movie Vanilla Sky has been branded the most baffling film in a new poll. The 2001 movie, which stars Cruise as a playboy left horrifically disfigured after a crash, was the film which left audiences most perplexed by its plot. According to the survey by LoveFilm.com, David Lynch's surreal thriller Mulholland Drive was voted into second place, while the sinister rabbit in Donnie Darko prompted cinema-goers to put it at number three. The top five brow-furrowing films were rounded out by The Matrix Revolutions and Christopher Nolan's Memento. Other movies to make the list include 12 Monkeys, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Revolver and cult classic A Clockwork Orange. 1 Vanilla Sky 2 Mulholland Drive 3 Donnie Darko 4 The Matrix Revolutions 5 Memento 6 Twelve Monkeys 7 Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind 8 2001: A Space Odyssey 9 Revolver 10 A Clockwork Orange I don't know, I thought they sort of explained it in the end with the doctor telling the guy what had happened.

No argument here from me. I watched it twice years ago, and still have no idea what the hell was going on.

Really? Memento? I thought it made sense. The only thing they leave up in the air is if the viewer wants to believe {Spoiler}if Teddy was the one who did it or not. I tend to believe it wasn't him. What was so confusing about A Clockwork Orange? Well, they left out the entire ending from the original book, for one thing. |

I actually saw this movie in the theater, pretty far out film but not that hard to figure out. Christ they flat out tell you what happened at the end.

I agree with Vanilla Sky but not the rest of the list. The list maker seems to confuse ambiguous with confusing.

I actually like A Clockwork Orange because it is so confusing, you had no idea what its about. (I never read the book and only seen the movie twice) so yeah  |

I remember this movie! When it came out, I went with some of my friends to the cinema and shelled out money for tickets just so we could heckle it. Which worked, since the theater it was playing in was EMPTY. I don't even remember a damn thing about the movie itself, just that we were yelling and laughing at it.

I agree with 12 Monkeys, even though I think it's clear the Women at the end was a back-up killer.

Inland Empire is missing from that list. They also left off any Ingmar Bergman film.

Most of these can be a little confusing and hard to follow at times, but if you give them enough thought you can gauge what's basically happening and part of the fun is that some aspects are open to interpretation which stimulates the imagination. Why must people always have everything spelled out for them.  |

Unless they just wanted to point out how useless the backup plan was, I don't think that was the case |

"Primer" should be somewhere on this list. Seriously, I had no damn idea what was going on, but maybe I'm just dumb.   |

You sound like a really cool group of people Yes, because we're all bastions of upright maturity when we're post-high school teenagers in a backwater suburban town! But seriously though, it was a night of mindless fun, and seeing as how nothing about it made any sense anyway (not that I was trying to piece the movie together, but still), it's not as if we were disrespecting a cinematic masterpiece. |

Mullholland Drive was robbed, I still have no RANDOM COWBOY idea what that movie NOHAYBANDA! was about KILLER OLD PEOPLE.
But what the hell was confusing about Clockwork Orange? If anything it was brutally straight forward.
