Your favourite Films with unusual concepts, like Sliding Doors etc

[ali_alic]

I love films with unusual story lines like sliding doors, 4 weddings (maybe copied from the tv series "A bit of a Do", poss?), Groundhog Day etc. What ones do you remember or like. Mt favourite has got to be groundhog day!

[Mr Tall]

Old Boy - Korean film

[ali_alic]

Mr T - whats that about??

[alijangra]

A brilliant recent one is 'Lucky number Slevin'

[wonderwoman1]

groundhog day definately, and the sixth sense

[ali_alic]

God yes, forgot about 6th sense!! had to watch it over again just to see if he (Bruce W) was talking to anyone all those times we thought he was!!

eXistenZ - brilliant! You realise halfway through that you're not sure when you're in real life and when you're 'inside' the video game.

[Quizmonkey]

Oh, and The Village too. And Identity. Both have mind-blowing endings.

I thought The Village was awful lol (sorry Quizmonkey) I didnt even realise that we were supposed to think it was set years ago.
I love "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" They dont know that they are only characters in a play and have no control over their own lives/destinies. They dont even know which one (R or G) they are for most of it, it's genius.

I also love "A life less ordinary"

ali-alic, I strongly recommend 'Old Boy' too. Don't want to tell you what it's about as it'll ruin everything for you. But DO get the dvd out and give it a go.

'The Matrix' has to be up there for me. Also 'The Shining', 'Run Lola Run', 'Irreversible', 'Time Bandits' and of course 'Groundhog Day'. :o)

i have to agree with wonderwoman on the 6th sense, i had to watch it through just to see if he talked to anyone just like ali_alic...
quizmonkey how could you like the village? it was terrible!!!

[ali_alic]

see what you've done - got to get the village out now, just to see what its all about. Don't like horror films tho - its not one, is it??

[dr john]

The Usual Suspects, Memento, Fight Club, The Spanish Prisoner, Wag The Dog, House of Games, Nine Queens...

[wonderwoman1]

ali_alic i havent seen the village either cos it looks a bit freaky to me!! lol

[ali_alic]

Fight club?? Did that have a weird story line - am I getting it mixed up with lock stock etc??

[4getmenot]

Butterfly effect, the gift, 6th sense

[dr john]

Se7en, The Game, Charade, Confidence...

[mycats]

[mccfluff]

true romance is my fave

[fee-is-me]

Memento - amazing film.

(Is 6th Sense spooky? I don't like spooky films... i'm not very good at staying calm.)
