Did Shutter Island make sense? I don't think it's worth watching a second time. A lot of things didn't seem to add up in the end.

Too bad, the Matrix is a phenomenal film.
Has to be 'Syriana' for me. No idea what happened. Who the hell were the bad guys?
Vanilla Sky and Magnolia seemed to go nowhere
I just watched A Serious Man and I need to watch it again because the end just left me wondering.
I just watched Inland Empire two nights ago. I wouldn't say it doesn't make sense, but I guess in the normal meaning it doesn't. I need to watch it again.
Eraserhead....but back in the day I saw it I was a dope smoking, beer swilling teenager so it didn't really matter if it made any sense. Actually, now that I'm 40-something and still swill beer but no longer smoke dope, it still doesn't make any sense.
THE BOX. SHIT WAS RETARDED.
Rushmore
The Royal Tenenbaums
Our son(in his 20s) loved those movies and highly recommended them. The LW (Lovely Wife) and I watched them and couldn't wait for them to get over. Pure garbage. They were horrible.
Synecdoche, New York
shutup tyler
Mulholland Drive. Does anyone even want to pretend they understood that bs?
Most of these movies make sense. You guys are just dumb.
That being said, I felt like I wasn't smart enough or awake enough to follow Primer. Too convoluted.
Babel
Primer is f-ing awesome. You need to watch it with absolutely NO distractions, and have at least a rudimentary understanding of time travel theories and paradoxes.
A friend of mine is friends with the blond guy in the movie, who also co-wrote it. I've wanted to make that connection through her just so I can pick this guy's brain about the movie. LOVE that movie.
"By the People: The Election of Barack Obama" made no sense.
The plot appears that there was this guy got elected to the Senate because his opponent's ex-wife made some damaging claims. So this unknown, and poorly qualified man gets elected and immediately announces that he wants to become the president of the USA!
Then things come to light about this man. He has a muslim past. The very enemy the US is fighting. Is he a plant? Will he sell out the USA to the islamic world?
Then, his "pastor" and mentor turns out to be an America-hating bigot but influencing this senator for 20 years!
People start reading the senator's books that he has written and it turns out that he hates things about America and he even reveals he has a disdain for white people. The kicker is, he is of mixed race, but he clings to his blackness when it was his black, muslim dad that left him and his white mother. It was his white mother's family that cared and provided for him. He has turned on the ones that love him.
In the end, he actually gets elected with a machine that exploited the stupidity of the youth movement and plays on the white guilt of the US public.
He sets about setting up muslim positions from Washington DC and appoints "proud muslims" to combat muslims. He mocks his opponents becoming very un-presidential. He repays his backers with a $787 billion kickback. Ramps up government takeovers reminesent of socialism. He apologizes for America and denys that the US is a Christian nation while his policies fail and unemployment hits 10%.
In the end, there are still some people who refuse to admit their mistake and want a sequel to this disaster???!?!?!
I second 'the box'. bad.

Yes, we examined it in my psychology class about dream interpretation. Think of it that way.

ha a funny man..ahahaha
POST OF THE YEAR!!!
I would add "The Firm" to the list of baffling Tom Cruise movies. I guess it makes sense if you rewatch it and use a little imagination, but it's not worth the effort.
Yes, but wasn't that the Obama movie? America swallowed that one entirely, too.
