Christopher Nolan reigns on a list of the most confusing movies of all time, according to data based on how often a film's title and "explained" is searched.
Pretty bad selection criteria. I would expect Primer to be on the list but it's just not as well known as these other movies. I'd say only Donnie Darko, I'm Thinking of Ending Things, and Tenent deserve to be on this list but the rest aren't that hard to understand. But you know, if I had a pet theory about any of these other movies, I might make a search like this to have it confirmed or rebutted.
I was hoping to see other Kaufman movies, thinking that people might be interested in learning more about humanity through what Kaufman meant to convey in, say, Synecdoche New York, but nope, it's Nolan.
Primer rocked, also highly recommend the Spanish movie Timecrimes. I remember thinking at the time that it used an inversion of the time travel mechanics of Primer and that it was cool that it was a tight enough rule system to still work in reverse.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things was super weird, and since I watched it in the height of the pandemic, I really don't remember it at all.
