you must watch these 2 awesome movies:

Mr. Nobody (one of my favorites)

Primer ---> the most confusing and mind wrecking movie ever , no exaggerating, and it was made with the budget of only $7000. you need to watch it a few times and search on internet for some explanations to understand wtf is going on.. :D
