Have to second "the Nines". Everyone on this forum should see it. Gibran2 recommended it to me and I rented it, watched it twice in 2 days then ordered my own copy from amazon. Not a perfect film, but conceptually will strike a few chords with most here, I believe. JBArk JBArk is a Mandelthought; a non-fiction character in a drama of his own design he calls "LIFE" who partakes in consciousness expanding activities and substances; he should in no way be confused with SWIM, who is an eminently data-mineable and prolific character who has somehow convinced himself the target he wears on his forehead is actually a shield.

JBArk Yeah I agree. Not perfect but interesting. And different. ––––––
DMTripper is a fictional character therefore everything he says here must be fiction.
I mean, who really believes there is such a place as Hyperspace!!

I've seen some great selections on this list. Thanks all for the recommendations. I don't believe i saw this one yet : The Imaginarium Of Doctor ParnassusHeath Ledgers last film. Def worth the time to check out. Thanks, Soulshine The tragedy of life isn't that it's too short, it's that we take too long to begin it...

American Psycho
Seven Pounds -- Was very moved by this movie
Many more but memory escapes me at the moment

Fantastic Planet (La Planete Sauvage)
1973 animated science fiction film with an awesome Funky soundtrack. It's about humans being kept as pets of giant aliens, dope.

VERY strange - dates a bit, but well worth watching. Reminded me a little of the book "voyage to arcturus" by David Lindsay. Anyone read it? Hypophantasychedelitrippholistica!! Both of em!

Although SWIMs lucky hes able to understand its original language and set/settings/atmosphere hence it resonated strongly with him. Even then it was a difficult watch however. Huge props to anyone whos seen it and was able to understand it(even just fraction of it) and sit through its entire 3 hours and maybe even like it a little bit without having Russian background  Loved stalker, own it and watch it at least once a year. Check out The Sacrifice and Solaris by him as well.

A lot of these are already posted. But theyre so awesome I'll post them again: Waking Life American Beauty Dead Man (I don't think I saw this in the posts, its considered an "Acid Western", absolutely brilliant) Enter The Void Donnie Darko Mulholland Drive Fight Club Locked up inside you, like the calm beneath castles, is a cavern of treasures no one has been to.
MojoPin is a fictional character and therefore all activity he is associated with should be treated as fiction.

I don't know if these have been listed, but they are worth mentioning. Pay it forward - A+++ on principle. The world needs more kids like that. And a movie that just leaves your jaw dropped saying "Dayyyyum" is a 10 min movie called "Spider" available on NetFlix. Definitely worth checking out. Quote from the movie - "You always have to take everything one step too far" Convert a melodic element into a rhythmic element...

PRIMER - awesome new twist on time travel, done more realistically(i think) but unique. LOST IN TRANSLATION -bill murray semi-serious SOMEWHERE - Done by same as ^ SPHERE - trippy horror flick THE ABYSS - classic alien SUNSHINE - beautifully done "save earth by re-igniting the sun" A BEAUTIFUL MIND - genius w/schizophrenia VANILLA SKY - psycological/beautifully done THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU - matt damon, twist on fate etc... "..I find myself stirred awake by the ambient noises of the world outside and a realization that my train of thought may not be running on time…but I've nowhere to be...except here."
