By the list you just made I'm surprised you didnt like this movie.
Memento and Magnolia weren't the easiest movies to comprehend.
especially when it started raining frogs wtf

At least Memento has some chronology to it, even though it was backwards.
21g was just random flash forwards and flashbacks
But there's no arguing tastes..

Pulp Fiction was great and it really wasn't that confusing to me atleast
Great acting can only lift a crappy storyline so far

If you think that Memento was played "backwards", then I suggest you watch the movie again and pay special attention to the split of color / b%w scenes...

Oh yeah there is also another storyline spliced in where it's not clear if it's his history, a story or just a delusion.

When i saw 21 grams, i thought " Eh.. that was okay ". It was one of those movie that had the potential of being great, but somewhere along the way fell flat on its ass.

Well thats up for interpretation, as everyone sees that movie differently.
The black and white scenes play from the beginning of the movie and end at the very middle of the story. The color scenes play from the very end of the movie to the middle, where it meshes in with the opposite set of scenes.
Every time I watch that movie I catch something I didn't see before and it completely changes my whole perception of the story. Good movie.

That happens to me too. Might have to watch it again. The first time I didn't notice that they all spit in his drink at the bar
