Being John Malkovich (1999)

One day at work, unsuccessful puppeteer Craig finds a portal into the head of actor John Malkovich. The portal soon becomes a passion for anybody who enters its mad and controlling world of overtaking another human body.

Timec

One of those rare movies that starts with a really creative premise and examines the implications of the world it has created, eventually bringing things to their logical and inevitable conclusion - and it does all that without ever stretching credulity or seeming that it's trying too hard. The creativity of the screenwriter and director is on full display through every twist and turn of the plot. Delightful, funny, disturbing, and never dull - this is one of the most imaginative films out there.
