2. I'm Thinking Of Ending Things (2020)
Charlie Kaufman's 'I'm Thinking Of Ending Things' takes second spot, with 50k searches a month. An abstract idea, the film attempts to combine two separate tales, before aligning them the more the movie continues. However, it appears to have been lost on many viewers. Photo: Netflix

3. Shutter Island (2010)
It's not like legendary director Martin Scorsese to confuse audiences, but it appears Shutter Island did just that. Starring Leonardo Di Caprio as Federal Marshall Teddy Daniels, he investigates the disappearance of a patient from a psychiatric facility, only to uncover a series of strange goings on among the island’s residents. It keeps audiences guessing and well received, though it appears to have confused a fair few people to, with 31k searches a month. Photo: Michael Loccisano

4. Donnie Darko (2001)
"Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?" - Donnie Darko was a huge early 00s hit, and has continued its cult status over 20 years later. It still seems to confuse audiences though, with the psychological thriller picking up 18k searches per month. Photo: Paul Butterfield
