I liked BSG, but don't think I ever finished the series. It got kind of soapy and long but I would revisit it. I liked Moon a lot. The old Lathe of Heaven I remember as cool. Recently I just watched Blade Runner for the first time since it came out - still impressive on Blue Ray and more philosophy of mind themes than I remembered. My cousin and her husband actually made a movie last year that has to do with time travel that I want to see but haven't yet: http://blog.dimensionsthemovie.com/ There's a recent one called Enter the Void which is not bad https://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Enter%20the%20Void/70118776?trkid=438403 Craig > > Jason > > > On Mon, Feb 3, 2014 at 12:14 AM, LizR <[email protected] <javascript:>>wrote: > >> One I've mentioned ad nauseum - "Memento". >> >> There is also "The Prestige", which I would definitely recommend. >> >> To avoid spoilers, I won't go into detail about why these films might >> appeal, but they both address issues mentioned on this list (at least >> tangentially, and in a fictional manner). >> >> I might also mention "Chronocrimes" for its portrayal of a block univese. >> >> Sadly no one seems to have filmed "October the First is Too Late" >> although the 10-episode epic "Doctor Who" story "The War Games" comes close >> in some respects.
