12 Sci Fi Films That Will Melt Your Brain

12. Twelve Monkeys

Winning the mantle of Monty Python member Terry Gilliam’s “most mind warping movie” is not an easy feat given the filmmaker’s many, many oddball cinematic experiments (salute to the underrated likes of 2006’s Tideland).

But despite a starry cast and mainstream budget, time travel is such a head melting trip in his asylum-set 1995 flick Twelve Monkeys that this Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis starring head-melter takes the title nonetheless.

The subject of a recent, surprisingly decent TV revival, this surreal trip won’t be for everyone, but anyone willing to decipher its twisty narrative will be rewarded with a stone cold psychedelic sci-fi classic.
