Satoshi Kon was amazing. I should get my hands on a copy of this.

Really enjoyed this movie, I thought it was a great Hitchcock pastiche.

I remember getting this as a young teen because I heard it had some sex or nudity, which it does, but not in the way I was expecting at that age. I've seen it again since and was better able to appreciate it and be horrified by it. I've always meant to look into their later works but never have.

Paprika is also good if you like reality-warping mindfucks.
