Movies about time and dreaming

Tools    





We've gone on holiday by mistake
Nobody's mentioned Memento yet? Okay then...how about Memento?
beat me to it.

Did anyone mention that chick flick "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"?

What about Inland Empire?



But Not Slight of Mind or Tongue...
You might be interested in Peter Weir's The Last Wave which dealt with dreaming and the Australian Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime:




Its the inception that shown time in a different dimension.



I'm looking for movies similar to any of these:

1) Inception
2) The Matrix
3) Limitless
4) The Departed
5) Deja Vu
6) In Time

I want movies that pose the question "is this real?"

Or I want movies about time and such like In Time and Deja Vu.

I also loved Limitless, any suggestion would be great.
I know some Russian movies which connected with that theme
1 Stalker 1979
2 Kindza-dza
3 I'm stay (Я остаюсь) 2007
4 Solaris 1972
5 Cajon The Movie

I wonder why you grouped The Departed with these other films. Is it because the plot kept you guessing?

My favorite 'is it real' movie is Waking Life. I feel Richard Linklater did an unparalleled job of molding form to fit content.



I think you're confusing it with Shutter Island.
That makes sense.



Watch Waking Life. If you are into dreaming, you will love it. It gets into lucid dreaming and existentialism and does get very philosophical if you are into that stuff.



The Cell... and Star Trek Generations... kinda. There is also Triangle, which is good but basically nothing more than a copy of Time Crimes, but less thought through.

I don't think so. Inception is a futuristic movie where people are able to consciously explore people's subconscious while they're sleeping. It goes into layers, different people all being asleep going through dream world. Its a cool movie.
