10. Momento

Even though I think Guy Pierce is an over acting moron, Momento is one of those movies, you just can't remove from your memory. When we see the second scene, we realize that this story is being told backwards. We are also under the assumption that the lead character has no memory and is somehow searching for his wife's murderer. I hope the ending to this and to Fight Club is not ruined for you. Its intense and deliberately angry screenplay fills to capacity as the story unfolds and the characters are revealed for who they really are.

9. Bringing Out The Dead

While many of the movies on this list have twist endings and mind bending scenarios, Bringing out the dead is quite straightforward in the storytelling and also has very deep messages below the undertone of insanity that both Scorsese and Nick Cage brings to this wonderfully intense film. Cage plays another out of control man, this time, a paramedic named Frank Pierce. Pierce is dying to leave his job but needs the unemployment and medical benefits too much to quit. He goes out night after night...bringing out the dead. He describes his job as just being an observer to death. Hardly saving anyone, Frank and his three partners deal with constantly seeing death and being able to do nothing about it, in very different ways. Some resort to food, some to God and some even to brutal violence. Bringing out the dead is quite a thriller not because there's a twist ending but because you plainly don't know what he, his patients, his partners or strangers will do next.

8. American Psycho

Christian Bale plays Patrick Bateman, a very successful investment banking executive who soon struggles with his grip on reality and his murderous urges. Patrick Bateman narrates his own story, first concentrating on the details of his ab workout in the morning and into the office where he powders his nose and swaps impressive business cards with his "friends" or more his c0-workers who swap girlfriend vicariously. This Psychological Thriller takes you deep into the conscious of a mind paralyzed with fear, rage and most of all, jealously.

7. Fight Club

The Narrator, who's name isn't revealed is played by Edward Nortan. Nortan is a car insurance agent who collects modern bedroom pieces and refrigerator condiments in his file cabinet of an apartment building as he passes by his life like a zombie. For a period of weeks, he finds himself unable to acquire a decent night's sleep and soon is branded an insomniac by his doctor. On a routine airplane flight coming back to NYC from a random work destination, Nortan meets Tyler Durden, a soap manufacturer who lives in a dilapidated house in the middle of an old factory area of town. After his apartment is blown out of his building, Nortan calls up Tyler and moves in with him. They soon form an after work gathering, Durden names, Fight Club. The rest of the movie is tricky to follow for the narrator, and if you're not careful, yourself. This amazing psychological thriller goes down a road, many would find frightening and questionable to the depths of a normal mind. It remains faithful to Chuck Palanuk's book and is worthy of every praise and more it received.

6. Seven

Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman play two detectives matched up together, on Freeman's very last case before retirement. The two of them soon find themselves in the library looking into the case of a very self-richeous serial killer who bases his murders on the seven deadly sins. The closer they think they get to finding him, the more clues he gives them to other numbered murders in the list of 7. The list includes Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Pride, Lust, Envy and Wrath. Each one is a murder, until the end when the grand sceme is in fact revealed.
