The 13th floor. I liked it better than Matrix because it touched upon the ethical issues dealing with AR and potentially sentient simulated beings.
12 Monkeys. Probably my favorite time travel movie, and the trouble with fate.
Grave of the Fireflies. Probably the saddest movie ever made, touching on so many aspects of human suffering.
Lola Rennt (Run Lola Run). It's been done so many times, but not as well as here.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "The Body". The show itself was basically mindless entertainment that I almost stopped watching, UNTIL this episode. I've never been thrown so much. If you're going to experience it, you MUST watch the entire series up to and including that episode to understand why it's so powerful, and you must not read anything about that episode beforehand.
