Inception
by Christopher Nolan
Cobb (Leonardo diCaprio) invented the procedure of entering people's minds in a shared dream. He had to pay the price: lost his wife and children. Now he has to face a mission which will either cost his life or give it back. But doesn't matter how clear his past is on paper: he cannot clear himself from the guilt and responsibility he feels over the suicide of his wife. As the team enters the subconscious, he unintentionally drags them lower and lower into the unknown. 

Sucker  Punch 
by Zack Snyder
"Sucker Punch" is an epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what's real and what is imaginary. She has been locked away against her will, but Babydoll (Emily Browning) has not lost her will to survive. 




Black Swan
by Darren Arnofsky

Nina (Natalie Portman), the talented and perfectionist ballerina finally receives the credit she deserves: the leading role in Swan's Lake. In order to get to the top, she has to stand the malevolence and jealousy of her competitors, face as well as a physical and mental fight with herself. At the same time she is sexually harassed by her mentor and embarrassed to admit her homosexuality.


The Dark Half
 by Stephen King

The Dark Half is a horror novel by Stephen King, published in 1989. Publishers Weekly listed The Dark Half as the second best-selling book of 1989 behind Tom Clancy's Clear and Present Danger. It was adapted into a feature film of the same name in 1993.
Stephen King wrote several books under a pseudonym, Richard Bachman, during the seventies and eighties. Most of the Bachman novels were darker and more cynical in nature, featuring a far more visceral sense of horror than the psychological, gothic style common to many of King's most famous works. When King was discovered to be Bachman, he wrote The Dark Half in response to his outing.

Fight Club
by David Fincher

Everyone knows who Tyler Durden is. Or do they? David Fincher's cult classic is exactly about telling us that not everything is what it seems. The hero, of course, doesn't recognise the enemy within until the last moment.
