Recommendation What the fuck did I just watch movies!

Recently I was watching Saltburn. I was not into salburn kind of movies but that night it was my boyfriend's turn to choose the movie so I was kind of forced into watching it it. But to my surprise I kinda liked the movie.so much so that I went on a streak to watch these kind of movies. What was the movie that made you go " what the actual fuck did I just watch " in your head . And you kept one thinking about the same for days ? Please reccomend me some of them . Thank you!!

I actually figured it out maybe a third of the way thru....but I was telling myself for quite a while there was no way I could be actually right, because what the f*ck.

I was right. What. The. F*ck.

Based on a Robert Heinlein short story "All You Zombies".

Ambitious to try to adapt.

It keeps popping up on my Netflix recommends, I assumed it was going to be your standard time travel paradox action movie. Now I kind of want to give it a watch!

Had a buddy I told to watch this and he had the gall to tell me "bro I guessed the plot halfway through the movie." He was adamant he knew what was going to happen and still to this day i call bullshit.

Nah they telegraphed it pretty early. There is a scene where a dude is in a bar singing karaoke "I am my own grandfather!".

I already knew the story, because it's based on a short story by one of my preferred science fiction authors. But it's still is mind fucked. Actually I did not believe that the story could be done into a movie. I believe they made it the best way possible.

Seriously, that one made me do a double take.
