I noticed the original thread for this topic was removed....so, I've decided to start it up again. I found it interesting and it gave me ideas for movies to add to my rental list. Here's my title:
Mulholland Drive
Look forward to your posts.

Thu, February 8, 2007 - 8:51 AMArizona Dream.
My dreams are so often like this; criss-crossed between a dream world and the real world and hard to tell the diference. The line between good times and bad is so thin in my dreams yet I can hop back and forth many times to test the waters. Then there are all the colorful characters... -

Re: What's the most dream-like movie you've seen?
Wed, February 21, 2007 - 8:32 AMHi Bodhi,
I think that with David Lynch's films we are getting as close as possible with an artist's experience of the unconscious. Still, it is not the nicest side of it, and the films look more like nightmares than dreams.
I wonder if you saw 'Inland Empire' ? A genuine psychotic nightmare. Loops, doors leading nowhere, helplessness, frenzy … name it … it's all there. Lynch is a great artist anyway and the film one of the most stunning I saw since a long time. 'Mulholland Drive' was amazing too, though it seems a fairy tale when compared to 'Inland Empire'.
As a dream experience I would much prefer Terence Mallick's 'New world'. -

Tue, September 4, 2007 - 1:54 PMConstantine....
That John Constantine character originally showed up in one of the Sandman issues, created by Neil Gaiman, author of "Stardust", which has dream qualities...
if you want any work related to Dreams and Dreaming, you won't be disappointed if you look up Neil Gaiman... and his cronies...

Re: What's the most dream-like movie you've seen?
Wed, February 21, 2007 - 6:34 PMI agree Lucius.
Lynch walks the thin line between dreams and nightmares. Haven't seen "Inland Empire" yet, but I've heard of it.
"Mulholland Drive" just has this hazy, dream like quality to it. Very sexy too. You're never sure if anything is "real" (whatever that might mean).
Peace, Bo

Re: What's the most dream-like movie you've seen?
Thu, February 22, 2007 - 9:52 PMI recently saw the Science of Sleep...I've been having really trippy dreams lately, mostly pretty weird/scary, so this movie really sucked me into the dream consciousness. -
-
Re: What's the most dream-like movie you've seen?
Fri, February 23, 2007 - 5:09 AMOf course Michel Gondry is also an excellent candidate. 'Science of sleep' and 'Eternal Sunshine' have their roots in the subconscious.
Gondry has often said that he was writing down his dreams every morning and incoporated the ideas in his music videos. It was all described in an interview on the net but I can't track back the source.
If anyone kept the link … please post.

Re: What's the most dream-like movie you've seen?
Tue, March 27, 2007 - 9:00 AMHas anyone seen an older movie called "Jacob's Ladder"? It's more nightmarish than dream-like, but it has that feel when you're watching it - you fade in and out of detail in a weirdish way.
Also, I watched "Vanilla Sky" and "Fight Club" within a week of eachother - talk about questioning reality! And, of course, "I Heart Huckabees" which I still need to get on DVD.
Oh, and an oldie but a goodie, "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" with Tim Roth and Gary Oldman. -

maybe cause its so obviously dream consciousness
also a scanner darkly is a similarly made film

Groundhog Day
The Matrix
The Life Before This
Sliding Doors
Ghost Dog
The Afterlife (Japanese)
Spirited Away (Animated)
Circle of Iron
Momento
Defending Your Life
Barata (silent, powerful "real" images, yet produced a very dreamlike state to the viewer -- well, at least it did for me)
actually, ANY movie that takes me totally to another realm, is like a dream
if it can hold me in that state from beginning to end
where i am not conscious that the people are acting
for the benefit of my entertainment
then it is dreamlike!
i mean, even natural born killers was dreamlike to me
and mrs doubtfire
perhaps i'm just a sucker for movies
or maybe i just love being taken to another place
after all, my favorite part of books is dreaming
my favorite part of sleeping is dreaming
my favorite part of living is the dream

Re: What's the most dream-like movie you've seen?
Fri, August 31, 2007 - 10:27 AMwaking life was a good movie... but I think it was more about dreams than feeling "dream-like."
For me, a lot of those old silent films feel like dreams. "Blue Bird of Happiness" and "Nosferateu" are the most recent I've seen...

Re: What's the most dream-like movie you've seen?
Tue, September 4, 2007 - 7:33 PMneverland in hook is usually what my dreams are like
especially the night scene with the island and the clouds, the tree house, and the two moons...usually im flying
the whole thing has a danny elfman composition essence 2 it, like an edward scissorhands song
ive also had dreams where i fly over dark water and the sky is filled with stars and there is only a faint reflection of the stars on the rippling water.... and i fly from a huge thin stone out crops to another, past a huge whirlpool of dark water that looks like the stars, until i reach a different land thats sortof hidden in a labyrinth
another dream i had was where i was flying on a dragon over the grandcanyon and the sun was rising, and we were fling over the clouds
lots of flying...it always feel so real
btw i love pans labyrinth, its one of my favorite movies -

Sun, September 16, 2007 - 6:19 PMA movie that wasn't really all that good, but looked dream like was "What Dreams May Come"
"Dreams" by Akira Kurosawa pretty much says it all and if you want a nightmare, watch "Tetsuo the Iron Man"
"Phantom Museums" by the Quay brothers is definitely like a weird dream. -

Re: What's the most dream-like movie you've seen?
Mon, December 24, 2007 - 8:00 AMMost movies are FAR too linear and logical to be similar to my dreams hehe.
so I am going to say:
Spirited Away (anime) - the most like my dreams...it almost makes sense its just a wee bit skewed
The Phantom Tollbooth (an old cartoon) - things change fast, scenery changes abruptly, objects and ideas become somewhat personified (not quite to the degree in the movie, however), characters could be anything and the things they say are almost random and make little sense at face value and instead point to some sort of abstract meaning... my sister has dreams similar to mine in this way.

Re: What's the most dream-like movie you've seen?
Tue, December 25, 2007 - 4:56 AM"being john malkovich" is bizarre.
fellini's satyricon is also bizarre.
cartain parts of dark city.
wong kar wai's "in the mood for love" and "2046"
nightmare on elm street, or rather, freddy kreuger gave me years of nightmares and sleepless nights. i'm kinda miffed about that now.

Re: What's the most dream-like movie you've seen?
Wed, January 2, 2008 - 12:07 PMI saw this question about the dream-like movie last week and I knew there was one, but I just couldn't remember it! It finally came to me (and it's so appropriate given how I couldn't remember it for so long): Memento. Also one of my most favorite movies, ever. If you haven't seen it, you just must! Twice at minimum to figure out what the heck is going on. -
