What movie do you still not fully-understand? Turns out almost everyone gets confused at one point by Stanley Kubrick or Christopher Nolan films according to a new survey of the most confusing movies of all time!

According to this formal list, which based its results on how often the film's title and "explained" were searched for on the Internet, nobody really understood Christopher Nolan's Tenet even though it's already been two years since the film first came out.

Surprisingly, the list, which you can see below, spans over six decades with the earliest "most confusing movie" being 1968's 2001: A Space Odyssey with over 4,200 searches per month even in 2022.
