I watched Repo Man last night. I haven't seen that in a very long time. It's a very bizarre, ironically funny movie about the search for a mysterious Chevy Malibu.
Undamned is the leading English-speaking expert on the consolized UD-CPS2 because he's the one who made it.
Oh fuck yeah, totally forgot that one. The original version - Abre Los Ojos is a treat, one of my fave movies of all-time (due to the subject matter, which im very fond of).

I've seen both Vanilla Sky and Abre Los Ojos, but only in passing - just exactly what was the subject matter you're fond of unsane
^I just love how every Spanish film starts in regular fashion then descends into MASSIVE tragedy towards the second half - Abre Los Ojos, Amores Perros, Golden Balls...

Lucid dreaming, life extension/cryonics. But basically i love movies that completely fuck with your sense of reality, PKD-style. I had to watch the movie 3 times in a row initially to figure out wtf was going on.

Spoiler tag please!
That's why I didn't mention anything other than the title. If you suggest what is sci fi about it, it kinda ruins the movie for a first time viewer.
Star Trek (the original series with Kirk, anyway) and the Prisoner, which is strictly speaking a sci-fi series. Doctor Who as well, the new series are quite brilliant. Has anyone noticed how Harkness looks contra-ish in some of his moves?
PKD= Philip Kindred Dick, who invariably put some narrative device in which protagonists were not be able to discern "reality" from hallucinations, which often were drug-induced.
"The only desire the Culture could not satisfy from within itself was one common to both the descendants of its original human stock and the machines [...]: the urge not to feel useless."
. I particularly liked the pleasure android at the beginning.
