today we're counting down our picks for the craziest movies that left us questioning reality.

All of this that you see before you is all your father's.

The ending of this sci-fi thriller is truly out of this world, and

not just because Lawrence Fishburne turns out to be an alien.

For most of the runtime, it's easy to infer that Nick and his friends are in Area 51 and being subjected to extraterrestrial tech as part of some larger experiment.

At the very end, when Nick finally breaks through the outer barrier, he discovers his captors aren't human.

They're the aliens, and he's aboard their spaceship.

The Signal's ambitious ending dares its viewers to recontextualize what makes us human and, perhaps more importantly, what doesn't.

He's one of the generation's strangest directors, and movies like Existence prove it.

The film features Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jude Law facing the dangers of a virtual reality game.

However, right when it seems they've unplugged for good, Existence asks yet another dangerous question: Are they in another game?

Don't you think the world's greatest game artists ought to be punished for the most effective deforming of reality?

I don't think this is very— Guys, can you come over here right now, please?

Before you can even begin to wrap your head around the implication, the film fades to black, leaving you wondering where the simulation ends, if it ever does.

There's no way of knowing just how many layers deep Existence goes, and

trust us, people have spent decades trying.

Nicole Kidman's Grace is having a rough time.

Her kids are allergic to light, her staff is beyond weird, and, oh yeah, there's mysterious happenings going on too.

It sounds like a simple haunted house setup, until the third-act twist reframes everything.

As it turns out, Grace and her kids weren't being haunted; they were the ones haunting.

The three are ghosts, unknowingly trapped in the place they died.

The Others expertly preys on audience perception to create one of horror's greatest plot twists.

Just be warned, a rug pull this good necessitates a second viewing to catch all the hidden foreshadowing.

Whatever the verdict, this slasher is no laughing matter.

The bodies and bloodshed pile up until, April Fool's, it's all revealed to be an elaborate ruse.

These college kids traumatized their friend as a way to test out a horror routine.

Even setting aside how mean-spirited it is, we do have to give credit where it's due.

While some viewers may be disappointed with this handwave of an ending, it does make you look back at the movie in a different light.

Everything is awesome, especially when you're the living embodiment of childhood wonder.

He's not just a construction worker, Dad.

He is an ordinary, regular, generic construction worker, and I need to put him back where he belongs.

That's right, the Legos here are not actually sentient in the way they seem.

In a truly novel revelation, the events of the Lego Movie are nothing more than the imagination of a young boy playing with his father's toy set.

If the construction guy said something to President Business, what would he say?

Suddenly, this isn't a silly movie about talking blocks.

It's a fresh deconstruction of youthful imagination and growing up.

We did not show up to the Lego Movie expecting an emotional wall-up, but

thanks to its bold ending, we have to agree that everything here is, in fact, awesome.

In the tangle of an unreliable narrator, false memories, and

more confusing confessions than we have entries on this list, the question here isn't whether everything was a lie;

Total Recall is built upon the idea that perception isn't always correct.

The ending in particular throws this into question, since Quade destroying an alien reactor is supposed to give him an ego trip.
