Hollywood has long had a whole bunch of movies that they specifically put out there in order to fuck with our minds.

Suffice to say, this move will make you feel a lot of emotions. 2 The Thirteenth Floor A computer scientist creates a simulation in the year of 1937 (yes he’s a goddamn genius) and ends up as a suspect for the murder of his mentor and colleague.
