    Watch it if you haven't already. I accidentally landed in the middle of it while doing some illicit late night channel surfing when I was a kid.. this left quite an impression.

    I think it was a healthy formative influence for me and primed me for rejecting fads / peer pressure, distrusting authority, etc. Probably also helped me to resist the more unhealthy aspects of a religious time/place, and I was even doing light reading on Cartesian skepticism a few years later, which got me into math. Didn't figure out the name of the movie until years later when it was a big meme.

    This is not advice but I definitely advise you to show your small children this movie before they are old enough to think it's corny. They may have a schizophrenic episode or descend into solipsism sure, but they may also get scared as hell by monsters and learn some mental judo, and thank you for it later.

      Nice pitch. I'll stream it right away!

      I've been watching Andor as a instructional manual recently and this seems like a good addition to the reality based manuals out there.

      Idiocracy, War INC etc.

    I LOVE for someone to make a version of this for Apple Vision Pro. In fact I would put down $500.

    I never found the Matrix very impressive, because I'd been inoculated by this movie.

    My personal tagline, "I came here to kick ass, build web applications, and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum." came from this movie.
