Nah, only really the second/third with all the pseudo-philosphic and quasi-existentialist, theologically underpinned bullshine.

Quote from: maximusotterFight Club: just pay attention

lol there is no way you saw the subliminal stuff throughout the film the first time you watched it. You only see them the second time you watch it. The third watch you know to look for them and why theyre there.

Fight Club is a different film the first 3 times you watch it. There are 3 distinct storylines you cannot see until youve watched it through each time. Its actually the whole point of the film and was written 3 times so each storyline lead into the start of the subsequent watch.

Id love to say what they are in detail but theyd ruin the film for anyone whos not actually seen it or watched it 3 times. 1st watch work out the twist. Second notice the subliminal images and the appearance of other characters far before they appear in the story as he thinks about different things. Third seeing the cigarette burns for scene changes and the role of the female character.

Just about all the others listed here are a case of paying attention tho. Memento being the most borderline just cause of the sequencing.

Donnie Darko for me too. Just not really sure what it was about and even why I bothered watching it.
