If you like these type of films then this article is for you. There are lots of movies like that and these are interesting. Here are top 10 brain-twisting movies you should watch. Don’t miss out the fun.

Also called Mulholland Dr, is a neo-noir mystery thriller film. It is directed by David Lynch with great cast like Naomi Watts and Laura Harring.
This movie is about two women one is longing to be a star and the other is searching for herself. Both of their world will collide. Much more than being a simple “it was all a dream” twist, the film’s dual nature offers us insight into the relationship between fantasy and fiction. The performances are great, the lighting is overdone, and the story is filled with overused tropes and cliches. This movie will definitely blow your mind.
