"And in case I don't see ya, "Good afternoon, good evening and good night." To this day, "The Truman Show" is one of Jim Carrey's finest performances, and he was robbed of an Oscar nomination.
_The Cabin in the Woods_ is the last it’s-all-a-lie film I want to watch with a group of friends. Not because it’s bad-it’s a great horror movie-but because of the apocalyptic twist.
@ Didn’t the head psychiatrist create a massive role play scenario for him to like “act out” that we don’t know about until the end? Or did I miss the concept of that movie entirely lol
It fits better than Cabin In the Woods since, iirc, no one actually lies to the subjects in it. WM goofed big time by listing it, then reinforced that goof with one of their usual errors in copy for the announcer. @@mattdemers3163 makes an interesting point, though. Almost everyone on Shutter Island is in on the lie to Daniels. Means it's not ALL in his head by a longshot (same as Fight Club), but arguably any delusion disqualifies it from this list.

Glad that Free Gut got a mention, though it would have made sense to include the clip with Guy standing on the beach and looking into the sea where the barrier was, where he literally shouts "It's All... a LIE!"
The Game feels like it would be right at home on this list, with the twist reveal at the end that the entire film was just a luxury package birthday gift.
Also: -Escape Room Franchise: They thought it's just a game for fun, only it's a game of survival, for real. -Maze Runner: The woman told them the world is in apocalyptic status, only to reveal a greater plan is on going. -Repo Man: At first, the rest of the movie was real, only to reveal the twisted truth on someone's mind. -Antebellum: At first setting was pre-Civil War era, only to reveal it's a sick reenactment. -Inception: We will never know if they are still in the dream world or truly awake.
Honorable Mention: Red Notice. Turns out the mission was staged by Bishop and John, and Nolan was just dragged into it. Killed the entire movie, it was honestly going to be my favorite movie that year.
Who doesn't love that line in The Island where Steve Buscemi is setting up the lead couple to infiltrate normal society? They check out each other's personal effects tryin'a learn the norms about stuff like wallets and purses. Then he tells Ewan McGregor the important rule "never give a woman your credit card" and the heroine nods like a good pupil, as if it's medical advice or something. 😂
I give an honorable mention to They Live. Using sunglasses to see that aliens have taken over your world and seeing billboards of messages telling people to obey them.

I've only seen The Island, The Cabin In The Woods, The Stepford Wives (2004), The Village, The Truman Show, and The Matrix. Number 1 and 2 are my favourites from the list.
Seriously?? Look at the title of the video -- The Usual Suspects fits it to a T!! It employs one of the great gimmicks in both film and literature: The Unreliable Narrator. To include it as just a throwaway at the end of the video is ridiculous. It should be #1.
The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. Even though the audience knows all along what is happening everyone in the movie series doesn't realize until too late that everything was manipulated by Palpatine. For that matter so was the Sequel trilogy.
Yes, it definitely has the same feel. I remember when The Island came out I definitely associated it with Logan's Run. Logan's run the lie is that the outside world is still there and rebirth on Carousel is just dying, not that they're organ donors though 🙂
Matrix will always be my movie. I even liked Reloaded. For a #1 spot, though, I'd say you need to specify in the list title that it's mainstream only. Matrix has profundity aplenty. Nonetheless, the Wachowskis & company made so many choices in favor of widespread accessibility OVER profundity. To put it another way, Matrix really makes you think, but (like a personal trainer going easy on you for your first week) it STOPS really making you think after a certain point. I haven't read Simulacra & Simulation, but I know it inspired The Matrix yet the author criticized The Matrix for its over-simplicity. I haven't read The Invisibles, but I know Grant Morrison boasts that it's better and that he seriously considered a lawsuit over elements of The Matrix that ripped it off. I've seen Dark City and Existenz once each only, but I know their fans would tell me about a lot of stuff in them that's over my head until I take another look. Far as making us contemplate the idea of fabricated realities, Matrix only showed us the door. Few of us have walked through it.

Shutter Island he pretended to be a detective along side his pyc doctor investigating crimes.... Inception was alot of dreams vs reality and Tenet well Denzel son recruited himself 🤕
That's what I'm saying. Shutter Island fits perfectly since most onscreen characters conspire to lie to Daniels. That's UNLESS WM calls it non-applicable because elements were in Daniels's head. And dreams aren't lies, per se. In fact, in Inception, the protagonists knowingly undertake missions in dream realities. It kind of inverts things since the ultimate objective is implanting a lie in one mark's head. Lastly, I don't claim to understand Tenet perfectly. I don't recall Robert Pattinson's character saying to The Protagonist "you didn't recruit me" earlier in the film, nor did he say "[specific other person] recruited me." A secret isn't a lie.
Uhhh, the way I remember it, the truth at 2:18 is they really are up against various supernatural forces, AND it's a means to appease Ancient Gods through sacrifice. The observation team spies on them in complete secrecy. Does that secrecy depend on ANY LIE AT ALL, though? 😮
Nah - the team was controlling the situations, making sure the ancient ones were appeased. The victims were in turn "living a lie" while at the Cabin as they were manipulated through and through
You're making a decent case that the main characters lied to themselves collectively, @mattdemers3163 Can you think of even one line of dialogue in which the overseers (or anyone representing them) sells them on any falsehood at all, though?
Good case that the main characters were lying to themselves. Can you think of even one line of dialogue in which the admins or their reps lied to them, though?
dont worry darling and the stepford wives are the same man.... you guys need to watch more movies! you forgot serenity! by the end they find out they are in a video game in a kids room.... crazy....

In some of the movies, they were all 1000%, a lie
"And in case I don't see ya, "Good afternoon, good evening and good night." To this day, "The Truman Show" is one of Jim Carrey's finest performances, and he was robbed of an Oscar nomination.
Very well said friend
He would have been the first of 2 In Living Color cast members to win an Academy Award
The Academy has always hated Carrey for some petty reason.
Never seen it
That movie was his best performance
_The Cabin in the Woods_ is the last it’s-all-a-lie film I want to watch with a group of friends. Not because it’s bad-it’s a great horror movie-but because of the apocalyptic twist.
I agree, I did not see that coming. 😊
You forgot about the LEGO movie, where the world is just a guy’s LEGO models!
That’s not a lie, it’s more of a reveal.
I would include "The Game"
That made me laugh- the whole thing was a game 😂
Hell yea, that movie was so crazy 😳😳😳
What about Shutter Island?!? That was a pretty great attempt at this concept in my opinion!
Was all in his head - doesn't fit the criteria

Is insane how "The Truman Show", a movie made 24 years ago, speaks volumes about the effed up society we live in now...
The thirteenth floor! I can’t believe you didn’t include that one.
I loved The Thirteenth Floor. I thought it was brilliant from idea to presentation.
The Game feels like it would be right at home on this list, with the twist reveal at the end that the entire film was just a luxury package birthday gift.
The Others is right up there with The Sixth Sense for it's insane plot twist at the end.
Except "they don't even know that they're dead" in either case. So what would the lie be?
I completely disagree, if you had seen Haunted from 1995 this movie held no twist or surprises. I thought is was a remake / scam without the edge.
Also:
-Escape Room Franchise: They thought it's just a game for fun, only it's a game of survival, for real.
-Maze Runner: The woman told them the world is in apocalyptic status, only to reveal a greater plan is on going.
-Repo Man: At first, the rest of the movie was real, only to reveal the twisted truth on someone's mind.
-Antebellum: At first setting was pre-Civil War era, only to reveal it's a sick reenactment.
-Inception: We will never know if they are still in the dream world or truly awake.
What about that Matthew McConaughey movie Frailty?
I really want to comment on this without spoilers, but let's just say it doesn't belong on this list
The Usual Suspects, yes, that was brilliant.
The village plot twist was one of the greatest plot twists of all time.
To you it was, to me it was a surprise but not the greatest plot twist of all time lol. 😂
"Let's get this party started."
*Hits giant system purge button.
OH C'MON!"

😆
Showing that the supernatural forces weren't all a lie and it doesn't quite fit this list, @@richardhoehn9922 :-)
Particularly funny since he bets on the Merman being the chosen monster because he really wants to see it, hah.
The Others should be on this list.
What others? 😂

Jacob's Ladder
Love this movie but it was technically in his head and she said they are making another video for those movies
You forgot total recall which you can say the red blue pill is based off
If the Matrix didn’t make number one, I would have been disappointed ! Others of note, Total Recall, Lego Movie, The Game starring Michael Douglas.
Seriously?? Look at the title of the video -- The Usual Suspects fits it to a T!! It employs one of the great gimmicks in both film and literature: The Unreliable Narrator. To include it as just a throwaway at the end of the video is ridiculous. It should be #1.
"They Live" should have received an honorable mention.
I am missing one of my favorites .... The thirteens floor
The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. Even though the audience knows all along what is happening everyone in the movie series doesn't realize until too late that everything was manipulated by Palpatine. For that matter so was the Sequel trilogy.
Do you not understand the concept of the list?
The thing is regarding the last one with the matrix, people do actually believe that nonsense and don't realise how stupid that is.
What about the Usual Suspects?
The Island was a reboot of Logan's Run.
Yes, it definitely has the same feel. I remember when The Island came out I definitely associated it with Logan's Run.
Logan's run the lie is that the outside world is still there and rebirth on Carousel is just dying, not that they're organ donors though 🙂
Angel Heart? I mean common, that and The Usual Suspects are textbook cases of this motif.
Glaring omissions them both.
Angel Heart is one of the shittiest movies I've ever seen
Matrix will always be my movie. I even liked Reloaded.
For a #1 spot, though, I'd say you need to specify in the list title that it's mainstream only.

Inception, Shutter Island and Tenet 😅
But what would the lie be in either of the Nolan films you mentioned?
Shutter Island he pretended to be a detective along side his pyc doctor investigating crimes.... Inception was alot of dreams vs reality and Tenet well Denzel son recruited himself 🤕

Shutter Island ? Any takers ?
Guy (Ryan Reynolds) said it in Free Guy
What about Shutter Island? That was a very surprising plot twist
"The Matrix" definitely comes to mind when watching this video.
What about A Beautiful Mind? That ending was shocking.
I can see that.

But nothing is really a lie.
Wouldn't call it a lie, but an interesting film. When people are under pressure, their true colors come out.

I love Dark City.,The Matrix,And The Stepford Wives.🙂
