Mood Movies 
Are you feeling good? Need someone to take you back to earth? Get a decent dose of "
Trainspotting". You might as well watch "Sin City", currently in cinemas all over europe. And if you don't know exactly what to do, get a movie like "
Amelie" or my latest addition "
The City of Lost Children" which is so strange you are still trying to figure out what it wanted to tell you afterward. Well, and after a day in some government building, watch "
Brazil".
Strangely there are more movies made in Europe that have such an impact on me. Either they are so real in what they picture or have such a massive reality distortion field to trigger joy or sadness. I am sure american made movies exist that must be similar, but while I was reflecting they are either too plain or simply depict only one or few aspects strongly. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed "Sin City" and I am a big fan of "Movies/Special/From Dusk Till Dawn". But in general I like that strange european cinema.
Last but not least I need to mention the japanese cinema as well. No wonder Hollywood currently copies a lot of the japanese horror movies. The japanese bend reality a little different which results in classics like "
Jin-Rô" and "Movies/Anime/Ghost in the Shell" or, the more modern "
CASSHERN". The mood issue here is somewhat different, as these movies usually leave me in some state of confusion forcing me to watch them a few times more, just to confirm that confusion.
