Best Mindfucks
What’s a mindfuck? A movie that plays with your mind, confuses you, and leads you on. It’s not just a movie with a twist ending. Mindfucks are borderline-incoherent, dreamlike, and surreal.

A very nice list. I agree with most of the movies that are on this list that they qualify as a mindfuck.
I know a few more that would also qualify, mostly anime's:
Paprika (2006)
http://trakt.tv/movie/paprika-2006
Memories (1995)
http://trakt.tv/movie/memories-1995
The Animatrix (2003)
http://trakt.tv/movie/the-animatrix-2003
Mind Game (2004)
http://trakt.tv/movie/mind-game-2004
(You should definitely see this one, i consider it one of the best anime movies that fuck your mind :))
The Man from Earth (2007)
http://trakt.tv/movie/the-man-from-earth-2007
Being John Malkovich (1999)
http://trakt.tv/movie/being-john-malkovich-1999
(to be honest i am a little surprised you didn't add this one. This is one of the best and most well known mindfuck movies ever made)

Yes, "The Adjustment Bureau" thanks, I totally forgot about this one.
I don't know about the other ones (haven't seen them yet)... but I'll have a look.
PLEASE NOTE:
Series like "Matrix" or "Saw" I only add once, because they have the same story/concept and I want to keep a good overview.

If I can make a recommendation, start with Moebius (a short and compelling film, but a little "slow") and then with Dreams (the most beautiful film I've seen in my life).
And I can guarantee that you will not be sorry to see any of these movies.
PS: Another one that should be on this list: Brazil (http://trakt.tv/movie/brazil-1985) A cyberpunk film, with a mindfuck twist; and one of my personal Top 10.

The hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy

I'm wondering if Lucky Number Slevin would qualify... I vote yes but I could see an argument both ways.
Thanks guys!
@rocko_2006 thx - I will check it out. Hope your guarantee is solid ;)
@drumstyk1 "Lucky Number Slevin" yeah... hmm.... I can't tell ´, it's been a long time I've seen it, can't remember.
What does the community say?

Lucky Number Slevin is a good movie. And it has cool unexpected twist at the end, but to say that it is a mind fuck is a little too far.
very nice list Ben / Guys!
Love this feature - TRAKT IS AWESOME :D

Also you want to look
"In the Mouth of Madness"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113409/
another very enjoyable movie..at the verge of horror but not in the modern sense..more of a mystery thriller.

I'm thinking about putting "Mindhunters" http://trakt.tv/movie/mindhunters-2004 on the list.
I know there is a good twist, but it's been too long I've seen it.
Can anyone tell?

Nevermind, I just watched it.
It's worthy!
List is growing & growing :)
Next one on the list will probably be "Resolution" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1977895/ (not on trakt yet).
The new (1:48) trailer looks pretty promising.
