Memory movies

I'm exploring my growing addiction to memory-lapse and alternate-reality films. I’ve compiled a list of favorites like Memento and Donnie Darko, while adding mind-bending titles like Being John Malkovich and David Lynch's surreal works to my watchlist.

I’m getting addicted to memory-lapse related / alternate reality-based movies, like:

Total Recall,
12 Monkeys,
The Bourne Identity,
Memento,
The Butterfly Effect,
50 First Dates,
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,
Groundhog Day,
The Matrix,
Frequency,
The Usual Suspects, and
Donnie Darko.
Twin Peaks too, I guess. But that was too extreme for me.

Next on my list are:

S Anand 20 Jul 2005 3:28 pm: Mulholland Drive, yes. What others, though?

Dhar 21 Jul 2005 1:02 am: The other movies that you can try are Blue Velvet, The Elephant Man, Lost Highway, The Eraserhead etc.

Dhar 21 Jul 2005 1:06 am: Of the Lynch movies mentioned, I have so far seen only Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet. The others are on the wishlist. :)
