I don't get The Descent rubber reality portion. I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just not seeing it. Can you explain?

Or is it just because of that brief part at the end that she thinks she's out of the cave and is revealed to be back inside it?

Love Vanilla Sky

Has anyone mentioned Premonition with Sandra Bullock?

Mulholland Drive has the same idea as Stay, but more more difficult to understand. I loved Stay and Jacobs Ladder... but MD beats them both.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind should definately be on this list.

Waking Life

I saw Waking Life and Stay back to back and it was really trippy.

i did this as well. waking life first then stay. i had some very intense thoughts afterwards and that's sugar coating it.

[–] breakthemadness 15 years ago

I'd add Lost Highway and Identity to the list.

The Korean film Spider Forest -- one of my favorites.

[–] writingsam 17 years ago

Yes i have one that comes to mind.

The Fall

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460791/

Its still in some theaters.
If you hurry you can see it.
My sister saw it and she gave it a 9/10.

gothika.

And honestly, STAY is my least favorite of this type of film. It didn't really have a twist or anything exciting that was added past the first act. I love ryan gosling though.

Mothman
