Reply to comment by _caspar_ in Film suggestion thread by subrosa

My attempt at narrowing it down:

I love movies about people 'obsessing' over ideas,or struggling to make sense of a very unusual situation. (Primer, Coherence, Memento, A Beautiful Mind, Pi, Shutter Island, Fight Club, Arrival, Oldboy,...)

I like dreamlike and surrealist stuff. (Mulholland Drive, Spirited Away, The Phantom of Liberty, mother!)

And I tend to like prison escapes and heist movies that are all about some clever plan that could easily go wrong. (Le Trou, Rififi, Escape from Alcatraz, Shawshank)

I already got lots of new recommendations from this thread, but I wouldn't mind some more :)
