Dude, I don't know why either of us got DV both solid answers considering the concept provided.

Open Your Eyes

And

Vanilla Sky

Then debate/discuss which was better of the two

I can hear him through this pic!

This is so good! Love the man

I believe what OP is trying to insinuate is that they are ripped off one another.

Open your eyes/Vanilla Sky dealt with the same twist, instead of being dead though, he was in an eternal sleep where he can chose either life in paradise that is a hell, or try real life.

Before that decade there were others that would have the same plot.

That era of film was all about the twist.

Even the Usual suspects used the same kinda zinger.

Anywho, agree to disagree.

Right, but so do a TON of films is what I was meaning. If you look outside of even 10 years.

Agreed.

To be devil's advocate.

Isn't that the plot to most be used?

I mean Vanilla Sky, Carnival of Souls, Atonement, Jacobs Ladder, The Lovely Bones etc.

I feel what you are saying, however, I don't feel other than appearance, the two are quite different.

But I thank you for clarifying for me!

...would you mind elaborating with some comparison and rationale?

Kalifornia

Seven

Prophecy

Albino Alligator

Swimming with Sharks (warning Trigger alert Kevin Spacey)

Way of the Gun
