More importantly, was it the director's intention to mindfuck you like that?

I'm now torrenting your 80s triplet. Since I haven't seen them I don't know if I should start listing off similar films, then, now, or from any time. For example, director Alan Parker of Pink Floyd's The Wall also did Birdy and other creative good films back then. Some in the list above are about crazy guys like A Beautiful Mind, but aren't a mindfuck like Jacob's Ladder so I don't know.

Also in the 80s/90s we would like to do drugs and watch mindfuck and/or movies about drugs. Eventually we became pros and sampled and edited all sorts of media together into our own long-play trippy montages of narratives and non-related psychedelic images/concepts - mixed tapes on VHS and cassette. A clip is not a movie though. Wish I still had my boxes of those tapes to upload to YouTube now - I'd be rich.

You may wish to torrent the Rifftrax version of "The Apple", as it is an odd film that's vision seems off the mark, and will only fuck with you after the fact, in a deep conspiracies way, as the director was on the mark, but misunderstood by viewers.

Shock treatment can be found as a double billed download with Rocky Horror, as it is a sequel. If you have any experience with therapy in the eighties, you will understand immediately what is being discussed.

As for Pennies from Heaven, it's a seemingly innocuous story with dark themes just under the surfaces about the nature of man.

More importantly, was it the director's intention to mindfuck you like that?

I believe it was the intent of the producers of the movie Cats to demoralize humanity, instilling in them a feeling of helplessness about their world, and a wish to kill themselves. I do not mean this as a joke. So, take that how you will.
