Well..Eraserhead, Mulholland Drive - some other Lynch movies as well. Oh and then theres Donnie Darko, although someone explained what they thought about it to me recently and it does kind of make sense..

Fando y Lis is another one - no answers or plot or anything in that bad boy.

Imo, the most convoluted ending I've ever tried to work out is the ending to Final Fantasy VIII. Theres a time paradox and no explanation given to what the main the villain is, or why she can or would want to do anything. People hypothesise that it could all be a dream, Rinoa could be Ultimecia, it's a parallel universe or whatever.

Actually anyone interested should definitely read this article about it all being a dream of Squall's.

It's a pretty awesome read for any FFVIII fans.

Unless the answer was lesbians and I'm just reading too much into it.

The storyline becomes pretty clear after you watch it multiple times.

edit: same with most Lynch movies I can think of (even Inland Empire) except for maybe Lost Highway.

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.

doesn't die the first time, enters some weird time rift, has to die or the world will be destroyed by the collapsing rift, dies, saves everyone, the family is sad. cut and dry at the end.

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?

donnie darko had an ending and all, they just took out part of the movie that would let you understand everything, the book that one crazy old women wrote explains things going on that you can only really read on extra features in the DVD since it doesnt actually exist

google it if you want more, but basicly he was the epicenter of his our tangent universe that was only created to help him come to face with his death, so that being the universe's purpose, EVERYTHING in that movie is to lead him to the ending
