My favorite has to be Memento.
If you haven't seen this movie your missing out. Its a great psychological / crime drama / suspense / all out confusing movie. Its about a guy who can't form new memories due to an injury sustained during an assault on him and his wife. Now he is trying to find the killers. But since he can't remember anything he tatooes important messages on his body to remind him of his mission. And what makes the movie really cool is that its told backwards (its meant to keep you on equal footing with the main character since neither you or he has any idea why things are happening the way they are). You see the ending first. Then the few minutes leading up to the ending, then the few minutes leading up to that, etc, etc, until your at the beginning. And the beginning has a shock twist (I'll say no more lest I ruin the movie) which makes its completely necessary to watch the whole movie again to understand what you just saw.
