Hey, I can't speak for anyone else, but there's nothing I like better than a movie (or TV show) that has either a good surrealistic dream sequence, or deals with the concept of dreaming in the plot. Since I can't think of a more knowledgable group of people on dreams, I thought I would see what everyone's favorite "dream" movies/TV shows are.
Here's mine:
-Mulholland Dr. (Excellent exploration on the concept of consciousness and dreamscapes vs. reality)
-What Dreams May Come (Not exactly about dreams, but close)
-Donnie Darko
-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
TV:
-The last episode of the second season of "House, M.D." (House get's shot, entire episode is in his mind, basically)
-Any "Sopranos" episode that has a dream sequence. Of any movie or TV show, "The Sopranos" is able to just capture the surrealistic jumbled-togetherness of a dream.
Any I missed? Please feel free to discuss any of these movies or others, I'm very interested to get your takes on this (assuming I'm not alone in my love of dream movies/Tv shows!)

There's always the classic 'Waking Life', slightly overrated film, but still really rather good.

Spellbound: An old Hitchcock movie with a really cool Salvador-Dali created dream-scene.
I just saw Secret Window, which isn't too bad (based on a Stephen King story), which has a couple little dream scenes.
The opening of a season of Dallas when Pam find Bobby in the shower and realizes the whole last season (when he got shot) was a dream; also the last episode of Newhart when he wakes up in bed with Susan Plechette (from The Bob Newhart Show) and realizes that whole series was a dream. The Gomer Pyle episode where Gomer and the Sarge both start sleepwalking and then they each dream they are the other one and they are out in their underwear, with Gomer yelling at the Sarge.
Just off the top of my head. I'm trying to remember a Three's Company one...something about Jack sleepwalking...
