I want to rent a mindblowing film tonight.

I'm going to rent Grizzly Man, but I want something else to go along with it.
The last film I rented was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, so whatever is up to be watched tonight has one tough fucking act to follow.
Lay it on me, pubbers.

Grizzly Man is NOT mindblowing. It's fucked-up, sure.
"Lipstick and Dynamite" is one I'd like to see--female golden age wrestlers documentary.
"The Smartest Guys in the Room" on the Enron thieves.
Umm...those are documentaries, though. Dammit. You got me thinking that way.

I have seen and wept uncontrollably during Dancer in the Dark. What a powerful fucking film.
GnuBobo, along the lines of documentary, I suggest you rent Fast, Cheap & Out of Control, an Errol Morris documentary that is one of my favorite films of all time.

"Me You & Everyone We Know" isn't bad.
Errol Morris is the King of Documentaries - Fog of War's good if you've not seen that.
Aristocrats is a mess but very funny in parts.
The Draughtsman's Contract'll get your head scratching
Made in Britain proves how good Tim Roth was & can be
Hana bi, Sonatine, Boiling Point, Zatoichi or any Beat Takashi film will blow you away
Control Room is a great documentary
The Motorcycle Diaries, Dig, Bad Santa, Inside Deep Throat, Mysterious Skin also all get my approval

Ummm....well whilst not exactly mindblowing The Jacket I thought was very entertaining and raises some 'rubber reality' style questions...

Ah! DiG! I forgot about how badly I wanted to see that, I looooove Brian Jonestown Massacre. Good call, that's a possibility.

"battle royale" is a japanese flick that is pretty dope.. i don't know if i'd classify it as 'mindblowing'.. but, it's definately a good watch.
if you haven't seen 'cube', watch that.. i really like that flick.
umm.. my gf could recommend a lot more than i can.. but, she's not here.

I want something that's mindblowing in a sort of sad way, like Eternal Sunshine was.

No, and I'm not sure just how interested I am in it, either. I mean I love Nic Cage...but something was holding me back from it.

Amores Perros is one of my default "I dunno what to watch but this shit rules so I'll watch it for the billionth time" movies.

Eh, that's some raw, real shit. I love it. I love dogs too, so I love the relationships between everyone and their dogs...especially the old man whose name escapes me.

Hmmm
Eternal Sunshine is a hard act to follow, for sure.
I saw that almost a year ago, haven't really seen anyting like it since then

The last thing I saw before Eternal Sunshine that I loved in the same way was The Life Aquatic.
