I’m a frequent purveyor of the social media site Reddit and one day, while browsing, I stumbled upon a spectacular thread that was all started by the sentence above. Hundreds of users began spouting off movies that could also be watched backwards, and they came up with some pretty excellent results. I decided to make a little art project out of it to share with you all; it’s nothing much, but it’s better than posting 15 lines of flat text. I even threw one of my own in there.

Hit the jump and check out the rest, and feel free to shout out your own.

    I think I like the Scarface and Matrix ones the best. The Ben Button and Memento ones are a bit obvious.

    If you watch The Shining backwards, its about an psychotic man who unfreezes, regains his sanity, and becomes a loving husband and father for a single mother and her son.

    if you watch blades of glory backwards it’s about the tragic break up of two best friends to the point where they become enemies in men’s figure skating

    If you watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail backwards, it’s about a bunch of knights who are released by the police, only to go on ridiculous journeys involving throwing animals at the French, regenerating limbs and wedding guests and knights screaming “in” donating shrubberies to the public; they then proceed to get split up, forgetting everything they ever knew about swallows.

    If you watch The Conversation backwards, it’s about a guy who gets cured of paranoia by playing saxophone and eavesdropping.

    If you watch any M. Night. Shyamalan movie bacwards, it’s about people doing a shocking discovery in the first five minutes, while the rest of the movie is reduced a redundant backwards plot with people gaining information and a clearer view on their situation until the movie ends.

    If you watch The fountain bacwards, it’s about a schizophrenic guy descending in a soap bubble from the ass of infinity to save his wife from cancer so he can get rid of the Conquistador and the Buddha in his head that are making his life a living hell.

    if you watch Donnie Darko backwards, he gets crushed by a jet engine and there is no need for the rest of the movie.

    :D

    If you watch 6th Sense backwards, it’s about a dead man who discovers he’s alive and tries to help a kid who sees real dead people.

    If you watch Weekend at Bernie’s backwards it’s about a pair of buddies who try to fake that their dead boss isn’t alive, panic as it becomes increasingly difficult to pull off, and then find themselves relieved to see he’s come back to life

    if you watched indiana jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull backwards, a space ship lands killing a small russian army and indy takes the magical crystal skull on a journey through the jungle so he can return it to its rightful place in a new mexico warehouse after which he returns to his peacable job in a university
