10 Movies You Have To Watch TWICE To Understand

6. Inception

Triangle movie
Warner Bros.

Sometimes, great moviemaking isn’t simply about what’s presented on the screen. It’s also about what isn’t. Christopher Nolan knows this as well as anyone, with the range of complex and endlessly discussion-inducing movies he’s created, but Inception stands out among them all.

From the concept alone, fans knew they were in for something much deeper than a simple action flick. A thief who not only dives into the subconscious of his victims but can plant an idea from someone else entirely there? We’re going way out there with this one, friends.

In Inception, dreams cross back and forth and subconscious worlds are shared and even influenced by others. What’s reality and what isn’t? What does the word even mean anymore? It’s a movie (and an ending in particular) that’s very open to interpretation, and this is what makes it so open to repeat viewings. You might well notice something that changes your point of view entirely.
