MASTERPIECES

1. Dance of Reality, The (2014) 10  
   Jodorowsky bares his soul through a dreamlike, mythical retelling of his childhood in Chile. Provocative.
   
2. Pan's Labyrinth (2006) 10  
   Guillermo del Toro presents a young girl's fantastic alternate reality, set in 1944 fascist Spain.
   
3. Stay (2005) 10  
   The desperate psychological nightmare of a dying man. A visually rich, ghost-inhabited alternate reality.

EXCELLENT

4. eXistenZ (1999) 9  
   Game designer Jennifer Jason Leigh creates a virtual-reality experience indistinguishable from real life.
   
5. Paprika (2007) 9  
   An insane anime that blurs the separation between reality, dreams, memory, cinema and the Internet.
   
6. Science of Sleep, The (2006) 9  
   A charming hyperactive blur of cellophane-animated fantasy and reality. Surreal and inventive, but not profound.
   
7. Where the Wild Things Are (2009) 9  
   Spike Jonze adapts Maurice Sendak's classic story for the screen. Reality is a child's imagination.

VERY GOOD

8. Reality (2015) 8  
   Surreal, compelling nonsense from absurdist Dupieux, who has taken a page from Lynch's Mulholland Drive.

GOOD

9. Frequencies (2014) 7  
   Ambitiously explores philosophical notions of fate and free will in an alternate reality of frequencies.
   
10. Oculus (2014) 7  
    Explores if inanimate objects can manifest supernatural violence. Trippy psychological horror via a reality-bending mirror.

FAIR

11. 4th Dimension, The (2008) 6  
    Feels inspired by Eraserhead and Pi, but this Aphex Twin-scored meditation on reality ultimately disappoints.
    
12. Capturing Reality: The Art of Documentary (2009) 6  
    A metadocumentary. This film about making documentaries should have been richer, deeper and edited better.
    
13. Forgotten, The (2004) 6  
    Julianne Moore is told that her nine-year-old son never existed. Who is fabricating reality?

ADEQUATE

14. Orbiter 9 (2018) 5  
    An engineer boards a young woman's spaceship, upends her sense of reality. Promising but unfocused.
    
15. Trauma (2004) 5  
    Colin Firth's fragmented reality is haunted by death, apparitions, blood, ants, and Mena Suvari's vacuity.
