Duh. I'm adding it right now.

I'm also in the middle of watching Dollhouse, which is an incredible TV series by Joss Whedon dealing with mind control. I think it does a better job than Gattaca of dealing with ethical quandaries of bio-tech, and most likely the more difficult battle we'll fight as our brains become more akin to software. The arguments in Gattaca seem like a straw man that very few people would actually advocate.

This is one of my favorite kinds of movie. I've never heard a good name for the genre. Psychological thriller? Too broad.

You should add The Thirteenth Floor. A good movie, better than its low budget, that fits squarely in the category.

Glad to see someone suggested The Game. I loved that one. It's a long way down from The Game and Seven to Benjamin Button and The Social Network.
