Depeche Mode for me. It was again a funny moment when I found Exciter in the second hand section and had to seriously think if I had it or not. I was right, luckily, it was the last one missing.
I have that one. I am missing 3 or 4 of their earliest albums.
I find myself not listening to the early albums that much. If I feel like listening to early DM I usually go for the first singles collection, that's great stuff from beginning to end.
Catching Up With Depeche Mode? That was the first Depeche Mode that I purchased. For the longest time it was the only Depeche Mode old stuff that I had.
Um, not that but The Singles 81->85, which seems to be a sort of an European counterpart of Catching Up. The track listing is very similar. That Singles compilation might have been the first DM thing for me too, I got that one and Songs of Faith and Devotion from the library around my senior high days. Faith and Devotion is still my favourite.
That one and Violator are my two favorites from them.
Have you heard the redone versions of In Your Room and Condemnation from the Singles 86>98 compilation? They are pretty sweet.
Violator is really good, but actually Ultra or Playing the Angel might be my second favourite.

Probably Bryan, although I do enjoy that movie as well. (Wouldn't really call it a Mindbender though, more of a mystery I suppose?)
Some of my favorite Mindbenders:
Donnie Darko
Memento
Primer
K-PAX
The Prestige
I didn't exactly wanted to put Brick among mindbenders, but it was one of the more special ones I got from you guys (even if I find it good it only up to a point).

Seen. Seen. Seen. Mindbender?? Seen.
I would have expected Triangle to be mentioned.
I thought about including Triangle and I really loved it when I first saw it, but after analysing the plot I seem to recall finding a plothole that I couldn't explain. If you haven't seen it yet, it's still worth seeing, and maybe you'd figure it out (I don't remember what it was anymore).
Admittedly K-PAX is more of a drama than a mind bender but what I like about it that makes me sit it in that category is that the ending is ambiguous enough that you can argue it either way. I like to think he's an alien for no particular reason.
A couple others then since you've seen all of those:
Moon
The Game
If you enjoyed Donnie Darko, you might enjoy Southland Tales (same director), but I think he overstepped a bit much on that. The fact that it's part 4-6 of the story and part 1-3 are some novel that I never bothered to read doesn't make it much better. I still need to sit through it a second time to decide if it's genius or rubbish.
OH yes, and Being John Malkovich was a really cool movie too.

If I say I enjoyed Donnie Darko, I'll be the laughing stock of Shredders.
... I didn't think much of it.
I have seen Triangle, it's very meh. Oh, right, Moon. Going on the list.
Moon is a good movie, although I didn't think about it too much after I saw it (hence why it wasn't on the first list). Truthfully I love "Mind Bender" movies but I find it very difficult to find really good ones.
On this note, if you have any reciprocal recommendations, I'll gladly check them out.

My favorite line is "You're bitchin', but you're not a bitch." which is something I was forced to say to my own mother once.
I do'nt remember that line. Is it from the original or the Directors Cut? I got the Directors Cut and thought that it was actually a bit worse, despite including some interesting expansions on the plot.

The characters felt too one-dimensional and the story telling was sub-par IMO. An awesome premise and trippy scenes can't make up for lack of cinematic acumen IMHO.

It's from the original, near the beginning whenever mother is in Donnie's room and he calls her a bitch as she leaves, then requests further evaluation from husband.
