Too many; my daughter is always explaining them to me.

I am getting better at understanding them though.

Never remember their names either.

The Wind and the Lion. It was based on the Perdicaris Incident, where some American guy was kidnapped by the Moroccans, but in this movie, Perdicaris was a woman, who fell in love with said Moroccan Kidnapper. Very odd movie. And, you can't change the gender and emotions of a main figure and say it's historically accurate. It's makes no sense.

I would like to add "Dead Man" to that list, and also "Melinda & Melinda"

and also "2001" -- or maybe that really was simply boring.

I didn't understand 2001 at all. Aside from HAL, it just seemed like a long boring lightshow.

I had trouble understanding Serenity when I first saw it. I wasn't used to all the characters because I never watched Firefly.

you should've watched Firefly before Serenity, but because FOX buried it when it ran, its understandable. Reruns come on irregularly on Sci-Fi (usually in one of those marathons they do from 8AM to 4PM). I'd just get the DVD of the whole series.

I didn't know it was based on a show until after I watched it. And then it was two or three years before I bought the series.

understandable. I mean I was a fan from the beginning (I hated how FOX showed the series basically without care of running order, but the show was great. Every time FOX has a great series, they end up canceling it: Futurama, Arrested Development, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, etc. etc. etc.)

Rain Man. I can't see how anybody could be so nasty to an autistic family member.

Immortal
Lost Highway (though, yeah, that is the point)
Apocalypse Now (though I loved it anyway)
Michael Clayton (some parts of it were very unclear to me)
Southland Tales (and you thought Donnie Darko was confusing....)
2001 (I'm so glad I'm not the only one who found that film boring as hell)
Primer (whoever wrote the dialogue in that needs some serious lessons on exposition)

Many, many more....

The Lake House with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Not quite confusing, just more of "what the hell is going on here????"

It has been years since I saw it, but Citizen Kane was supposed to be the masterpiece of masterpieces, so I thought I should see it. It was the most uninteresting and tedious thing to watch. I guess you need to be a stuffy critic to fully comprehend its magnitude.

Apocalyspe Now was another that confused me, but I really like its atmosphere.

I watched a Japanese anime film dubbed into Italian once. Now that was confusing.

The ending to "Monty Python & the Holy Grail" had me seriously confused the first time I saw it.

Miller's Crossing

The 30's gangster dialogue is so well written and delivered at such a fast pace, its difficult to digest the somewhat complex plot through such a rich narrative.
