The movie is crazy awesome, it has canned laughter in scenes with people wearing rabbit costumes, and there was no script to it, they just met up everyday and Lynch would have some new ideas on where there were going with the film. Crudely copy/pasted from wikipedia about the production of the film; Lynch shot the film without a complete screenplay. Instead, he handed each actor several pages of freshly written dialogue each day.[3] In a 2005 interview, he described his feelings about the shooting process: "I’ve never worked on a project in this way before. I don’t know exactly how this thing will finally unfold... This film is very different because I don’t have a script. I write the thing scene by scene and much of it is shot and I don’t have much of a clue where it will end. It’s a risk, but I have this feeling that because all things are unified, this idea over here in that room will somehow relate to that idea over there in the pink room."[5] Interviewed at the Venice Film Festival, Laura Dern admitted that she didn't know what Inland Empire was about or the role she was playing, but hoped that seeing the film's premiere at the festival would help her "learn more."[3] Justin Theroux has also stated that he "couldn't possibly tell you what the film's about, and at this point I don't know that David Lynch could. It's become sort of a pastime—Laura [Dern] and I sit around on set trying to figure out what's going on."[6] I was really captivated by the movie when I saw it, and it stayed with me for days afterwards. Trailer; If you like films that makes you sit and wonder what the hell just happened, this is a film you must see imo. | ||

At least that's what I think about those movies. About Inception the movie has an ending. + Show Spoiler + Cobb finally comes back home to his children. No denying here. The twist is that we (audience) aren't supposed to know for sure if that was all a dream although Michael Cain in a interview stated that despite the ending C. Nolan intended that the final scene was the Cobb's real life. He only wanted everyone left the theather like :' WTF?!'. ^^ | ||

I was somewhat puzzled by K-PAX's ending too. What are you talking about Kill Bill had a great ending everything wraps up in the end nothing is left hanging Anyways I hate when that happens and no movies come to mind however i hated the ending to Fullmetal alchemist I feel like it still needs to be finished. | ||

I much prefer it when movies leave it open and let you fill in the gaps. I find it really annoying when films (mainly chick-flicks) feel the need to fill in the next 25 years of every characters life. Everyone ended up happy! Yay! Legally blonde is a terrible example of this. Another example is the Matrix. The first film was open ended enough that you could make it make sense... then they went and raped it. | ||

Shutter Island and Inception had pretty clear ending for me aswell. For me No Country For Old Men has to take the cake in this one. It ends so abruptly and unexpectedly that you get the feeling like the movie is over before it even started for good. | ||

no country for old men - is about chance/luck. the antagonist always flips a coin to see if he kills or releases his victims. in the end he gets fucked up in a car accident which is his fate. it would have lost it's meaning if the end was a big shootout. american psycho - it all happened but the entire thing was covered up so that everyone could continue their materialistic lives and keep making disgusting amounts of money. the real estate agent and bateman's lawyer all made it quite clear for him to shut the fuck up about it and let it go, imagine the damage it would do to their reputations and future business prospects. donnie darko - i never really understood... did he have the ability to see into the future and then realized it was all not worth it? | ||

Usually if the plot of the movie/tv show is engaging, the ending can be left ambiguous. It doesn't really bother me, I like the unknown. The best part is that most people misunderstand endings to be ambiguous/confusing because they did not pay enough attention to the movie/show itself. Battlestar Galactica comes to mind. The ending answered all of my questions, yet other people were largely confused. As far as games go, I really wish Xenosaga got another sequel. | ||

Both Shutter Island and Inception had a pretty clear ending. They left a small room for interpretation but still, they left you with only one question and 2 possibilities. You have the answers, but you dont know witch one of the two who is the correct. I would not say they fit the description the OP gives. I would say Shutter Island had a nice wrap-up at the end, that only left a philosophical question at the end that had little to do with the story in the movie. As for 12 monkeys it had a clear ending imo. A movie I would say that had no answers is Donny Darko. Watch it and get mind fucked. | ||
