Psychological Thrillers

Does anyone know a good psychological thriller with twists and twists and that makes people think?

FYI I watched Inception - for some reason whenever I ask anyone they all say Inception first.
 
Not sure if I’d even call Inception a psychological thriller….

Films like “The Machinist”, “Donnie Darko” and “Black Swan” are what I’d call psychological thrillers.

Seen any of them?
 
I'll give it a try. Pardon me if I'm off about these being psychological thrillers, or being thrillers, at all.

There's another one I'd like to mention, but can't as there's some rules about not talking about it. ;)

Tonnes more, too, but these are some of my faves.

Richy, the first rule about _____ ____ is that you don't talk about it. The second rule is that you don't talk about it. ;)

Zen, I thought it interesting that you mentioned a movie that influenced Black Swan, but didn't include Black Swan on your list. Too obvious of a choice?

I don't have a huge contribution, but I'd like to add Moon to these lists. Also, Jacob's Ladder. And maybe 12 Monkeys?
