you guys should check out
Dark City (has a platonic reality isn't really real thing going on)
Moon (has a memory/identity/AI thing going on)
That reminds me of "Total Recall". Which is not bad.
Source Code (has a 'its just numbers being computed' thing going on)
Tarkovsky's Solaris
Ah! I re-saw this one recently (on youtube!) with a lot of pleasure. I
like it.
Like Kim I saw also "2001, Space Odyssey numerous times", when young.

PS, I see a typo I made: the author of "SIMULCRON III" is Daniel
Galouye, (not Galouze!)
and Stalker are also pretty stunning if you can handle 10 minute
shots of dripping water and general Russian misery etc.
happy viewing!

After "the prestige", that was rather disappointing, for me.
My favorite movie is "the thirteenth floor", or the corresponding
novel "SIMULACRON III" (Daniel Galouze).
According to some people, MATRIX is full of "allusion" to
"conscience & mécanisme" but I can't see it without falling asleep.
I still don't know if it is comp-correct, like simulacron III is.
Boring and not quite sexy, but I would have love it, I guess, if I
was 12 years old.

Some more I can add that I enjoyed:
Adjustment Bureau
Inception
Open Your Eyes (Spanish language, with subtitles).
These are mainly virtual reality type movies.
I'm going to add some of the others mentioned to my DVD service queue.
Cheers
