What were some movies you had to look up explanations of after watching? (leminal.space)

Beau is Afraid was the last one I recall. I think it was mostly the latter half of the movie where I started to get a bit confused and needed the ending explained to me.

What movies made you look up some kind of explanation afterwards? I feel like I have done it several times in the past for more surreal movies but can't think of any other examples.

It can also be a TV show.

That's cheating. No one knows what that movie is about.

I've heard that you can watch that movie in a loop starting at any point and it doesn't make any more or less sense than starting at the beginning.

I think all of David Lynch's movies could fit here. I tried watching his mini-series "Rabbits" over and over to understand, and I still have no idea what it's really meant to be about.
