I've actually never watched it, but when you're saying, that it is so good, then I'll write it on my 'to-watch-list'.

Yeah, dream-movies are amazing motivation.

Inception is the best movie ever. If you haven't seen it yet, then do it!
I've also watched Vanilla Sky. I was very confused, I maybe think it's better the second time.

Happy (lucid) dreams, I'm sure you'll get one soon. Maybe tonight.

"Waking life" is a great movie about dreams. Imo it should be on the "already watched it xx times" on every dreamer's list here ^^

"Inception" is awesome indeed. I watched it for the third time not long ago. One of my favorites movies to date.

Yeah, I'll definitely try to watch it soon.

Yes, Inception is really awesome. I've watched it a 100 times, and I can still find myself saying "Ohh, I didn't knew that!" or "That's how it works".

"The Science of Dreaming" is also an inspirational movie. It is on Netflicks. Some subtitles, but one of my favorite movies.

I haven't seen waking life in a while. I almost forget what it is about. Time to rewatch! You could also check out Paprika, if you don't mind animation.

I haven't seen it either, but I know Movies provide great inspiration to Lucid Dream, I didn't start lucid dreaming because of one though.
Inception is awesome (as long as you realise it is not completely realistic).

Although indirectly about lucid dreaming, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind is pretty cool.

I watch Waking Life last year, and I love it as well. It was a very interesting movie, and had an interesting style to it. My dreams the week after watching the movie all had something to do with it.

Waking Life was a big help to me! I saw it when it first came out and it made me realize I could have a lucid dream intentionally if I looked for the right signals. It gives some helpful tips, like trying to turn on/off a light and reading digital clocks. I think you will be most successful if you find your own personal dream triggers, but that movie was a real eye-opener for me at the time. Everyone here should see it.
