Limitless - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1219289/
An action-thriller about a writer who takes an experimental drug that allows him to use 100 percent of his mind. As one man evolves into the perfect version of himself, forces more corrupt than he can imagine mark him for assassination. Out-of-work writer Eddie Morra's (Cooper) rejection by girlfriend Lindy (Abbie Cornish) confirms his belief that he has zero future. That all vanishes the day an old friend introduces Eddie to NZT, a designer pharmaceutical that makes him laser focused and more confident than any man alive. Now on an NZT-fueled odyssey, everything Eddie's read, heard or seen is instantly organized and available to him. As the former nobody rises to the top of the financial world, he draws the attention of business mogul Carl Van Loon (De Niro), who sees this enhanced version of Eddie as the tool to make billions. But brutal side effects jeopardize his meteoric ascent. With a dwindling stash and hit men who will eliminate him to get the NZT, Eddie must stay wired long enough to elude capture and fulfill his destiny. If he can't, he will become just another victim who thought he'd found invincibility in a bottle.
I wish my mind would do what happens in this movie. It has to be one of my favorable films mainly because I actually wished that the pill NZT existed so that I could take it.
The amount of thoughts I had after watching this film was amazing.. My whole mind just seemed to be open to endless ideas and possibility's.
A Beautiful Mind - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0268978/
Biopic of the famed mathematician John Nash and his lifelong struggles with his mental health. Nash enrolled as a graduate student at Princeton in 1948 and almost immediately stood out as an odd duck. He devoted himself to finding something unique, a mathematical theorem that would be completely original. He kept to himself for the most part and while he went out for drinks with other students, he spends a lot of time with his roommate, Charles, who eventually becomes his best friend. John is soon a professor at MIT where he meets and eventually married a graduate student, Alicia. Over time however John begins to lose his grip on reality, eventually being institutionalized diagnosed with schizophrenia. As the depths of his imaginary world are revealed, Nash withdraws from society and it's not until the 1970s that he makes his first foray back into the world of academics, gradually returning to research and teaching. In 1994, John Nash was awarded the Nobel prize in Economics. Written by garykmcd
At Princeton University, John Nash struggles to make a worthwhile contribution to serve as his legacy to the world of mathematics.

Nash grows more and more paranoid until a discovery that turns his entire world upside down. Now it is only with Alicia's help that he will be able to recover his mental strength and regain his status as the great mathematician we know him as today. Written by rmlohner
This film sums up exactly how I feel n a day to day basis. If you ever watch this film take everything you see and remove the fact that he sees Charles and that's how my mind works.. Every day I feel like this film.
Conspiracy Theory - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118883/plotsummary
Mel Gibson is a New York taxi driver, who has a strange habit. He makes complicated scenarios of conspiracies and publishes them in a newsletter sent out to five recipients. He keeps doing that, until something unbelievable happens: One of his "conspiracy theories" turns out to be real, and so he finds himself chased by the man hiding behind the whole thing.
I think a lot like the character played by Mel Gibson.. the first few minutes of the film where he is in his taxi is a perfect example of the exact kind of thoughts that run through my mind on a daily basis. This links in with the previous film in the way that I think.
Truman Show - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120382/
Truman Burbank is a normal man, living in a normal town. He grew up to be a desk clerk for a insurance company, living an ordinary life, having an ordinary wife, an ordinary neighbour and an ordinary bud, who pops in from time to time with a sixpack. But Truman is not happy with his life. He wants to see the world. He wants to get away from his happy-happy, ever tidy, nice'n'shiny little island town at the seaside. In reality, Truman was an unwanted pregnancy. His "father", Christof, a reckless TV-Producer whom he never met, made up the Truman Show - the greatest show on earth - a show in which life is live. So, everyone around poor Truman is an actor with a little headphone in the ear. One day, Truman accidentally bumps into a catering area backstage and gets pretty suspicious.
I think a lot of us get the same feeling as this film from time to time.. but for me its at least once or twice a week. I suppose the other two films above link in with why I would feel this way.
Reign Over Me - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0490204/
Alan Johnson has everything he needs to get through life: a good job, a beautiful and loving wife, and their wonderful children. Yet he feels isolated because he finds having a hard-working job and managing a family too much to handle and has no one to talk to about it. Charlie Fineman, on the other hand, doesn't have a job or a family. He used to have both until a terrible loss, and the grief caused him to quit his job and isolate himself from everyone around him. As it turns out, Alan and Charlie were roommates in college, and a chance encounter one night rekindles the friendship they shared. But when Charlie's problems become too much to deal with, Alan is determined to help Charlie come out of his emotional abyss.
This film makes me feel strangle like Charlie. I feel close to becoming how he is in the film when I'm put under a lot of stress. Usually I block out things with games and music. (one o the reasons I have so many albums) I actually feel that f something major were to happen that I would most likely end up exactly like him.
If you ever get time. Please watch these films, maybe not to understand me better but because they are brilliant films.
