The first appearance by Dark Knight helmer Christopher Nolan, this twisty thriller from 2010 is easily the most mid bending entry on this list, and one which undoubtedly requires more than one screening to fully unpack.

However, at the root of all its dream invading complexities, this one is essentially a flawless, tense heist film, one filled with charming well-balanced banter from its crew, constant intense set pieces, and some stunning cinematography as we move into the realm of the subconscious.

Featuring another stellar central turn from Leonardo DiCaprio, the cerebral action in this one is held together by the actor’s affecting turn, and it’s worth a re-watch for more than just clarifying the complex story.
