Film is perhaps the most appropriate medium to regenerate and project sensations experienced by the human mind; rekindling the sort of lurid imagery and flashes of memory that otherwise occur only in our heads.
Recalling a recent dream or nightmare with accuracy is somewhat impossible to accomplish through vocal articulation, and difficult through written word. But through use of inventive editing sequences and imaginative imagery, cinema is able to beam up the kind of sights and sounds that otherwise exclusively reside inside our minds with incredible accuracy.
This list depicts 10 very different films that consider the notion of human memory and make an examination of the human mind. Composed of a variety of classics, a couple of hidden gems, and some films that achieved somewhat middling commercial success – each movie has something a little different to offer, and every single one of them is worth your time.
