We’ve all probably watched a few movies in our lifetime that had us scratching our heads in utter confusion as to what the storyline was all about. That is the central focus of the topic for this week’s Monday Movie Meme, as Sandy at You’ve Gotta Read This has chosen themes for the entire month. Therefore, The Bumbles asks participants to share on their blog “movies that make you go hmmmmmmm,” so here are my picks for movies that have confusing movie plots.

Shutter Island

If you’ve seen this.....need I say any more? If you haven’t watched this Leonardo DiCaprio (who is the current King Dong, by the way) headed movie, then let me be the first to tell you that this movie has the ability to drive audiences crazy.....forget the loonies in the hospital.

The plot of “Shutter Island” seems so easy to follow and simple to understand since, based on the trailer and description, a U.S. Marshal (or is he?...yeah, that’s what I’m talking about) visits a hospital for the criminally insane to investigate the disappearance of a woman who allegedly murdered her kids. However, the plot of “Shutter Island” gets very strange as this movie progresses but not in a productive way. The ending does not make any sense and had me questioning whether certain scenes really occurred or not. Damn you Teddy Daniels!

The Sixth Sense

Some relatives and I went to a theater to check out this Bruce Willis flick that put M. Night Shyamalan on the map and gave officials in Philadelphia, PA a good marketing angle to try and attract visitors to the area. “The Sixth Sense” has confusing written all over it....so much so that my relatives got into an argument (or rather, very passionate disagreement) about the plot while we were all in the movie theater parking lot after this film ended.

They decided to agree to return to the theater the next day (or maybe a few days later, I don’t remember those specifics, as I was a kid) and watch the movie again so they can get the answers to their questions and settle their disagreement about certain plot points in “The Sixth Sense.”

These are movies that made me go “hmmmm...” and I plan to add one more in the next few days, so make sure you come back and read this post again later this week.

What movies made YOU go “hmmmm” ?
