So you liked The Usual Suspects, Inception, Memento, or Edge of Tomorrow...
A couple months ago I got a hankering to watch some Memento type movies. I did a search online watched a lot of movies and tried to distill the good ones here. I broadened it from just Memento to Inception, Edge of Tomorrow and the Usual Suspects as well.

- DirectorPark Chan-wookEstrellasChoi Min-sikYoo Ji-taeKang Hye-jeongDespués de ser secuestrado y encarcelado durante quince años, un hombre es liberado, solo para descubrir que debe encontrar al que lo capturó en cinco días.The back cover description doesn't do this movie justice. I know its a foreign flick and you have to read the subtitles but its amazing. Plenty of dark humor and plot twists.
- DirectorDuncan JonesEstrellasSam RockwellKevin SpaceyDominique McElligottEl astronauta Sam Bell hacia el final de su estadía de tres años en la Luna, envía a la Tierra paquetes de un recurso que ha ayudado a disminuir los problemas de energía de nuestro planeta.Beautiful outer space cinematography and a great performance by Sam Rockwell. This movie is a slow burner. Don't expect a lot of action. Just a smart, nuanced sci-fi mystery that gets better each time you watch it.
- DirectorDenis VilleneuveEstrellasLubna AzabalMélissa Désormeaux-PoulinMaxim GaudetteLos gemelos viajan a Medio Oriente para descubrir su historia familiar y cumplir los últimos deseos de su madre.Amazing foreign movie with great acting and incredible plot.
- DirectorShane CarruthEstrellasShane CarruthDavid SullivanCasey GoodenCuatro amigos emprendedores se pelean por atribuirse la autoría de su último invento.A cult classic that was made with a $7000 budget. Its a time travel movie that is going to require repeated viewing to completely understand. Worth it though. Especially if you are a fan of intricate and non-linear storytelling like Memento.
- DirectorChristopher NolanEstrellasChristian BaleHugh JackmanScarlett JohanssonTras un trágico accidente, dos magos se envuelven en la competencia para crear la más espectacular ilusión, aún si ello significa sacrificar todo lo que tienen.Another Christopher Nolan flick. Most likely you know Christopher Nolan directed Inception, and Memento as well as the Batman movies. I've seen all his movies. He is my favorite director. This is one of his best and has some great performances by Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman and the rest.
- DirectorDenis VilleneuveEstrellasEmily BluntJosh BrolinBenicio Del ToroUn agente del FBI es enviado por el gobierno para ayudar en la escalada de la guerra contra las drogas en la zona fronteriza entre los Estados y México.
- DirectorMorten TyldumEstrellasAksel HennieSynnøve Macody LundNikolaj Coster-WaldauUn reputado cazatalentos lo arriesga todo para hacerse con un valioso cuadro en manos de un ex-mercenario.Hard to find a good english subtitle version of this movie but its definitely worth the effort. It's a smart crime thriller with more emotional depth than your typical American film. Highly recommend!
- DirectorMartin ScorseseEstrellasLeonardo DiCaprioMatt DamonJack NicholsonUn policía encubierto y un topo en la policía intentan identificarse mientras se infiltran en una pandilla irlandesa en el sur de Boston.Another crime/drama with a wicked smart script. It won best picture at the Oscars. Love it.
- DirectorTerry GilliamEstrellasBruce WillisMadeleine StoweBrad PittEn un mundo futuro devastado por la enfermedad, un convicto es enviado para recopilar información sobre el virus creado por el hombre que acabó con la mayoría de la población humana en el planeta.For fans of movie endings in the vein of The Usual Suspects. This movie is based on a short movie called La Jetée and I think this is one of the few cases where the new version is better than the original. Brad Pitt gives my favorite performance as a crazy guy.
- DirectorNacho VigalondoEstrellasKarra ElejaldeCandela FernándezBárbara GoenagaUn hombre se mete accidentalmente en una máquina del tiempo y viaja una hora atrás. Encontrar a su otro "yo" pasado será el primero de una serie de desastres.A quirky but fun foreign time-travel movie. Like Memento you and the protagonist start out trying to figure out whats going on and it gets more clear as well as complicated from there. Huge elements of the plot from this movie were lifted to make the movie Triangle (listed below).
- DirectorChristopher SmithEstrellasMelissa GeorgeJoshua McIvorJack TaylorUn grupo de amigos sufre un accidente de navegación y se refugian en un crucero a la deriva en mar abierto, pero rápidamente se dan cuenta de que estaban mejor en el yate volcado.This movie is a bit of a remake of "Timecrimes" (listed above) for American audiences. Timecrimes is a bit more logical/believable while Triangle relies on a sort of magical element. However, both employ the same time travel mechanics. Triangle also blatantly steals one of the key features of Timecrimes so once you watch one movie you're going to recognize what is happening in the other. Even so there are a lot of elements I enjoy in Triangle more than Timecrimes. I recommend watching both and am willing to bet that whichever you see first will color your opinion of the one you see after ;)
- DirectorDavid FincherEstrellasBrad PittEdward NortonMeat LoafUn hombre deprimido conoce a un fabricante de jabones, y juntos forman un club de pelea clandestino que evoluciona en algo inesperado.A cult masterpiece.
- DirectorSpike JonzeEstrellasJohn CusackCameron DiazCatherine KeenerUn titiritero descubre un portal que conduce literalmente al jefe de la estrella de cine John Malkovich."Being John Malkovich" is about a puppeteer who "discovers a portal that leads literally into the head of the movie star, John Malkovich." This movie is a drama not a thriller but its sheer creativity makes it a trip.
- DirectorSpike JonzeEstrellasNicolas CageMeryl StreepChris CooperUn guionista se desespera cuando intenta y no puede adaptar una obra de Susan Orlean a la pantalla.Also, from the writer of 'Being John Malkovich' and more of a drama than a thriller. This movie employs a plot twist halfway through that I don't think you've ever seen in another movie.
- DirectorMichel GondryEstrellasJim CarreyKate WinsletTom WilkinsonCuando su relación se vuelve amarga, una pareja se somete a un procedimiento médico para borrarse mutuamente sus recuerdos.In some ways the opposite premise of Inception. Instead of planting new memories in someone the movie asks "what if you could erase a person from your memory?" A sad drama with great performances.
- DirectorRichard LinklaterEstrellasKeanu ReevesWinona RyderRobert Downey Jr.En un futuro no muy lejano, un policía encubierto comienza a perder su propia identidad a consecuencia de una peligrosa nueva droga.Based on a novel by Philip Dick who wrote all sorts of trippy stuff. If you like these kind of movies read some of his books like "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch", " Now Wait till last Year", "Ubik", etc... This movie is also not a thriller but a drama that looks at the lives of a group of parnoid drug addicts.
- DirectorRidley ScottEstrellasHarrison FordRutger HauerSean YoungUn cazador implacable debe perseguir y acabar con los que robaron una nave en el espacio y han regresado a la Tierra para encontrar a su creador.A sci-fi classic. If you haven't seen the movie yet its important you watch the "Final Cut" version that came out in 2007. Its the only one Ridley Scott had complete control over. Also, based on a novel by Philip Dick.
- DirectorHarold RamisEstrellasBill MurrayAndie MacDowellChris ElliottUn hombre del tiempo revive inexplicablemente el mismo día una y otra vez.A romantic comedy from the 90s. It's on here because it employs time travel and its a classic. Funny and sweet. Bill Murray is great.
- DirectorDoug LimanEstrellasTom CruiseEmily BluntBill PaxtonUn soldado que lucha contra un extraterrestres puede revivir el mismo día una y otra vez, el día se reinicia cada vez que muereIncluded in the title but worth seeing...even if you're not a Tom Cruise fan :). Its a smart big budget Hollywood production. Basically the Sci-fi version of Groundhog Day.
- DirectorChristopher NolanEstrellasGuy PearceCarrie-Anne MossJoe PantolianoUn hombre con pérdida de memoria a corto plazo intenta rastrear al asesino de su esposa.Included in the title. This is the movie that got me started down this path originally. A classic and the movie that kicked off Christopher Nolan's career.
- DirectorChristopher NolanEstrellasLeonardo DiCaprioJoseph Gordon-LevittElliot PageA un ladrón que roba secretos corporativos a través de la tecnología de entrar en el subconsciente, se le da la tarea de implantar una idea en la mente del jefe de una gran empresa.Included in the title. But for those that haven't seen it its worth repeated viewing. Amazing movie. Reminds me of the book "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch," by Philip Dick.
- DirectorBryan SingerEstrellasKevin SpaceyGabriel ByrneChazz PalminteriUn agente especial de aduanas de Estados Unidos investiga las causas del incendio de un barco en Los Ángeles, cuyo único sobreviviente relata los eventos que condujeron a la desgracia.Included in the title. Its a great crime drama with a famous plot twist. If you haven't seen it watch it.
