Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

A Scanner Darkly (2006) is a rotoscoped movie based on a Philip K Dick novel set in future LA with a detective trying to find the supply of a dangerous new drug while being addicted to it and suffering from his addiction. The rotoscoping helps add a vibe of delirium to the movie and it is well acted including probably one of the best uses of Keanu Reeves as an actor.
One of Robert Downey Jr's best roles. He was so detached and horrible in the role while being an absolute goofball (that silencer and the bike). He reminded me of a few tweakers I used to know.
Checking out more of Richard Linklater's work is also highly recommended.
Waking Life (2001)
Philosophy and dreams combine for an enlightening journey. It's a good rewatch if you've not seen it in a long while.
Before Sunrise (1995), Before Sunset (2004), Before Midnight (2013, I haven't seen this one)
Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy have beautiful explorations of love and the human condition.
