Okay...let's see...

Serenity
Ghostbusters
Spider-Man 2
X-Men
An American Werewolf in London
The Matrix Reloaded

Wow, that was a lot harder than I was expecting. There must be loads I'm not thinking of...and there are also some I'm on the fence about, like the majority of Ingmar Bergman films I've seen.

Hmmm...

ukaunz02/22/2006

The first that popped into my head was Vanilla Sky/Abre Los Ojos, but I don't know if it counts...

If it does count, you could also add Waking Life. Brazil is another.

Some more:
12 Monkeys
Nightmare on Elm Street
Twin Peaks movie?
Lost Highway?
Mulholland Drive?
Eraserhead?
American Beauty
Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion
I think Waynes World had one too, but check me on that one.

Do daydreams count?

bertie02/22/2006

The Wizard of Oz :-D And, if daydreaming counts: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947, 2006)

ejones02/22/2006

Kagemusha

CaptMal02/24/2006

Wow, I just noticed that no one's mentioned Spellbound (the Hitchcock one, of course, not the spelling bee documentary).

bertie02/25/2006

I think you'll find that the dreamlike sequences in Spellbound are psychotic episodes rather than common or garden dreams. The Gregory Peck character is suffering from a psychosis, he is not merely dreaming. But perhaps I'm splitting hairs again.

As I have never seen Spellbound, it's a match between CaptMal and the Hairsplitting Philosopher.

The Grand Inquisitor 1922 (who suspects that the expression "hairsplitting philosopher" is in fact a pleonasm)
