My two favorite movies deal with trying to figure out what's real and what isn't, which is an important skill as a rationalist.

The two movies are: Total Recall (distinguishing reality from false memories) Inception (distinguishing reality from dreams)

If someone knows other movies that would go in this category, I'd like to know!

The Truman Show.

The Usual Suspects, The Sting, or any other good con movie. (A personal favorite, excellent but little known internationally, is the Argentine film Nine Queens).

"The Others" sortof falls into this category. (Can't tell you why without spoilers)
