I saw this list on Facebook. No Hitchcock like Psycho or Rebecca? No M? No Planet of the Apes (1968)? Except for a few notable ones listed, this person is not much of Classic Movie fan. Help the person out. What are some other mind twisting classic films?

For getting into a mind blowing, psychedelic world with hybrid animals and distorted versions of the people you really know, it's hard to beat The Wizard Of Oz.

Dead of Night 1945, when the main story goes full circle.

The Cabinet of Caligari, both the 1920 and 1962 versions.

You can always depend on Cornell Woolrich for a mind bender. Try “Fear In The Night” (1946), starring DeForest Kelley in his screen debut.  Film noir meets the supernatural with a shock ending in “Inner Sanctum” (1948).  A much milder time twister is Dick Powell as a struggling reporting who gets the next day’s newspaper every morning. “It Happened Tomorrow” (1944), directed by René Clair  |

Luis Bunuel's surrealist Un chien andalou Intended as a send-up of artistic pretensions, it was warmly embraced...by those with artistic pretensions. Jean Cocteau leads an artist through multiple, dreamlike realities in The Blood of a Poet In the '70s, Robert Altman took characters and audiences alike through some mind-bending territory: Images
Three Women

Great choices, Doghouse6 . But I especially wanted to comment on Images, which is mind bending territory, indeed. Haven't seen it since it was first released, but I absolutely loved it then. One of the most interesting things about it is that not only does it star Susannah York, but it's based her children's fantasy novel, "In Search of Unicorns," one of two that she wrote in the seventies. Who would have thought she had that talent, too? Anyway, it's one of those films that made a big impression on me back in the day. I wonder how I'd feel about it today? |

My feelings and experience are pretty much identical to yours. I've always run hot and cold on Altman's output, and when considering seeing this film again, I've been almost afraid to. I like remembering that I liked it, but wouldn't like discovering that I don't like it anymore. I think the same goes for Three Women. |

Three Women is my favorite Altman, the only Altman I gave a 10 rating. The imagery was so surreal. The actresses were fantastic. It was like David Lynch before David Lynch, but without the craziness. |

Why not go all the way and reach 100? Just to mess with your mind. |
