Most of these movies are called psychological movies, but searching under this category I have not found anything that comes close to what I am looking for, movies like memento, 12 monkeys and primer are characterized by something, a person who knows information (Be good or bad), and is in a situation isolated from the rest of the population, no one other than the protagonist or a very small group of people knows what is happening and what it implies, that is the type of movies I am looking for, movies with isolated stories, if you know of any movie that makes you feel that I don't know what it is with the 3 movies I mentioned, please leave me the name and synopsis. (I had forgotten to mention donnie darko)

pi - number enthusiast uses his math themed mental illness to learn the name of god, gets in trouble with stock brokers and jews

the thing - a dog brings a special gift to an antarctic research expedition, the gift turns out to be inside everyone all along

the shining - a struggling author becomes caretaker of an isolated hotel, learns a bit about himself along the way

inception - yo dawg, I heard you like yo dawg, so I put a yo dawg in your dawg so you can yo dawg while you dawg

What? I don't think it was inside them all along. It just spread as the movie progressed

I appreciate that, but it's a funny way to describe the movie

These are great. Do more please, like memento and the prestige.

Memento - a man with a rare memory loss affliction which will make you, the very high audience member, feel as though you share the same affliction as the protagonist

The Prestige - magical realism in the nineteen dicketies with twin themes of magic and betrayal

Frankly I was very high when I watched both of these and found them hard to follow
