Best Dream Sequence
 
What do you consider to be the best dream sequence from a movie? I think the one in big lebowski is great!

DonnachaOne 11-03-03 04:28 PM

Two seasons of Dallas!

No, wait, MOVIES.

Aphex Twin 11-03-03 04:32 PM

No contest: The Unicorn dream in Blade Runner

Michael Corvin 11-03-03 04:34 PM

No no no.. ;) The one in "In the Mouth of Madness" freaky everytime. Only Carpenter could pull off a dream within a dream moment.

Which one? There's a couple of them.

My choice: Sherlock Jr. A concept that would eventually be used in both a Woody Allen movie AND an Arnold Schwarzeneggar movie.

Mulholland Drive's was pretty good.

Geofferson 11-03-03 04:59 PM

An American Werewolf in London's dream within a dream was very effective. Can the Final Destination sequences be called dreams? If so, they were good as well.

Mondo Kane 11-03-03 05:13 PM

Charlie Kauffman had a good one in Adaptation

Numanoid 11-03-03 05:13 PM

Twin Peaks

It wasn't a dream sequence. It was more of an entire dream.

SunMonkey 11-03-03 07:34 PM

A good portion of A Nightmare on Elm Street.

The Wizard of Oz

Technically, that was a "nightmare" ;)

Best dream sequence ever?

ST ELSEWHERE!

(I know... I know...)

The dream sequence in Rosemary's Baby completely blew me away. From the way she drifted off to sleep and we went from the real world to inside her dream is the most realistic depiction of dreaming I've ever seen in a movie.

Funniest dream sequence has to be Ghostbusters.

RichC2 11-03-03 08:57 PM


It wasn't a dream sequence. It was more of an entire dream.
That's debateable :D

Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound had pretty interesting dream sequences that were designed by Salvador Dali!

jfoobar 11-04-03 01:32 AM

An American Werewolf in London

Joel 11-04-03 04:41 AM

Vanilla Sky?? :D

Spooky 11-04-03 04:51 AM

Depending on how you interpret the movie - Total Recall.

Michael Corvin 11-04-03 06:25 AM

Add tv and the most creative by a mile would be Newhart.

TremCat 11-04-03 07:52 AM

Since the poster never mentioned CGI wasn't permitted, it would have to be for me Final Fantasy. But that's from a very small range that come to mind. Most of the films with the best dream sequences are full moves; for example, The Company of Wolves takes place as the girl sleeps, and that~the whole movie~would have to be the single best cinematic dream sequence I've seen.

For family viewing: <b>Dumbo</b> has a pretty wild dream .... or is that just a drunken stupor?

The down-the-toilet scene in <b>Trainspotting</b> is pretty weird - and memorable.

Michael Corvin 11-04-03 11:29 AM

Donnie Darko?

Nobody's mentioned "Brazil" yet? What's wrong with you people?

TCG 11-05-03 03:27 AM

8 1/2 (many)

T2 (most intense might be the nuclear blast)

First film that popped into mind was Living In Oblivion.

I could not agree more. The dream sequence in Keaton's Sherlock Jr. is fantastic and way ahead of it's time...

28 Days Later has a nice little dream sequence in it.

Had the contest been "Best Masturbatory Fantasy Sequence" then, yes, you would win. But it isn't, so you don't. :p

greatjedi 11-06-03 12:49 PM

Frida had some pretty creative stuff.

BobbyJay_533 11-11-03 04:46 PM

If you wanna see a funny dream sequence, check out the one in Wave Babes


http://www.ifilm.com/filmdetail?ifilmid=2479363

BobbyJay_533 11-13-03 03:31 PM
