What movies would you recommend for people who liked Inception?
my suggestions in no particular order:
eXistenZ, 1999 - video game virtual reality, what is reality?
Waking Life, 2001 - for people who like to philosophize. It's less of a movie than it is a philosophy circle jerk that happens to be in a lucid dream
What Dreams May Come, 1998 - consciousness treated as metaphysical
Paprika, 2006 , Japanese animation- for you were into the mind bending of creativity, "machine that allows therapists to enter their patient's dreams"
The Prestige, 2006 - if you are into deception, deals with not trusting what you experience
Matrix, 1999 - I don't think I had to mention this but I had to if I was going to refer to the next one
Dark City, 1998 - reality bending, becoming conscious of what his delusion of reality. Consensus is that Matrix alluded to this movie.
Donnie Darko, 2001 - what is a dream, what is reality.
Requiem For A Dream, 2000 - delving into insanity through drugs. Reality merges with thoughts
Wizard of OZ - [SPOILER]
there will be a lot of movies with it was just a dream endings and here is one
