[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 1981369, member: 4779"] No, it's warm in here and the beer is GREAT! ;) Yes! BJM makes the short list! The first 2/3 of The Matrix makes it as well. ;) [b]Contact[/b] was amazing but for me was more of a one-shot blow you away type flick. Excellent film but doesn't make the short list. Why? After seeing it twice there is no reason to watch it again. Just my personal opinion. Think nothing else of it. :) Two more fantastic films. [b]The Game[/b] didn't make the list because it's more of a one-trick pony. It's very rewatchable but it takes not watching for many years to do so. I think the same for [b]The Usual Suspects[/b] but to a lesser degree (and now that I think of it many of these films could be Tier 2 Mindscrew). There are many other really good movies that others listed. A few I didn't see and others were not mind-screwy enough to warrant seeing them again. [b]Empire Strikes Back[/b], however, does make the list. It fits the criteria and is simply a great film that happens to have a twist. And in that vein, [b]Citizen Kane[/b] makes the list. [b]Adaptation.[/b] almost makes this list but a second viewing just shows that the movie is really good but more quirky than a mindscrew. [b]Se7en[/b] almost makes the list as well if the ending wasn't telegraphed as much as it was. Please don't think that I have a problem with this movie as it is great cinema and I loved it. However it does not have Mindscrew Tier One status. Revised Short List (new additions have *): Fight Club Dark City Donnie Darko Sixth Sense Unbreakable Pulp Fiction Empire Strikes Back* Citizen Kane* Being John Malkovich* [/QUOTE]
