INCEPTION
S'good movie.
I enjoyed the premise of control of 'lucid dreaming' since I read the 1966 novella The Dream Master (He Who Shapes) by Roger Zealzny back in childhood, that won a Nebula Award, and I'm surprised that this is never mentioned in reviews of the film as a precursor, or even the 1980's film Dreamscape, (Dennis Quaid, Christopher Plummer) loosely based on the novella.
But Chris Nolan says he wrote this up from his own ideas, I don't doubt it. I am glad the concept was not a horror film, but espionage based, I could see where you could have gone even further with it, and maybe they will.

Another good movie I've seen is "The Black Swan". Disturbing, but good.
