Remarkably, Christopher Nolan has five Hollywood films featuring on this list! Considering he’s directed 10 feature films in his lifetime, having half of those be on the list of ‘most confusing endings’ is surprising. It’s a testament to the reach his films have, alongside their complex nature.
After that is cult director Darren Aronofsky, with three of his Hollywood feature films on this list, and then those below him all feature twice on the list, therefore taking joint third. Honourable mention goes to Martin Scorsese, who only has two films on our list of 50, and yet at 343,990 cumulatively scores above all other than Nolan, highlighting just how confusing viewers find the end of his films.
