buddy of mine totally digs "inception" - can you recommend me some more?
 

..i need to buy a b-day present (thought of 4 to 5 dvd's) for an old buddy of mine - he was totally freaked out by "inception".. are there any movies out there that would fall in this category and are worth watching? ..only thing i have is "memento" which is also from director Nolan - you got any ideas?

Shutter Island.

that's actually quite a good idea - thanks!

Memento, same director I believe. One of the best movies made. Shutter Island is a copy of A Beautiful Mind which is in my opinion, better.

Harry Brown is a great movie!

A Beautiful Mind is also a good idea.. i don't know whether he already saw it.. but i'll add that one to my list - and i have to agree with you, memento is really one of the best movies ever.

Fight Club is a mind fuck as well, but a bit different.

fight club is one of *my* all time favourites - i'm pretty sure my buddy saw it as well, but i could add it to the "bday package", perhaps some special edition kind of thing.

edit:
cool thing, i just realized that there's some kind of easter-egg in the 2-disc "memento" version: you can watch the movie in chronological order - neat!

'12 monkeys' maybe, and maybe 'jacobs ladder'

Mulholland Drive
Primer

Memento and Shutter Island were good. Memento is by the same director as Inception.

I don't know if you want to stick to current films but try Dark City. Came out in 1998 and stars Rufus Sewell, William Hurt, Kiefer Sutherland, and Jennifer Connelly.

cool thing, thanks! ..i didn't know about this one - seems like a movie *I*'m going to enjoy. :)

Definitely go with Primer!

i don't know why the fuck "primer"'s so expensive over here (40 euros) but the line "donnie darko for grownups" just made me press the "buy now" button. :1orglaugh

GTF OUT!!!

I love PRIMER. I thought I was the only one.

The Sound Of Music...

Animated try Waking Life and Paprika, from what I hear Inception is pretty much a rip off of Paprika...
