The 1998 movie Dark City unquestionably belongs on this list. It has a great plot, reminiscent of Blade Runner, Eternal Sunshine, Memento, Total Recall and others. It has a compelling central mystery/quest and ultimate resolution. The '40s/futuristic sets and art direction are visually stunning, as are the scenes based on Piranesi's Imaginary Prisons. And what a cast: Rufus Sewell, Jennifer Connelly, William Hurt, Kiefer Sutherland, and as the chief aliens the great Ian Richardson and Richard O'Brien (the writer and co-star of Rocky Horror). — Richard Finch
