Instead of watching movies, try spending those two hours reading about LD!
It will do you more good then movies!

Two movies I have seen recently that made me think about lucid dreaming the whole time are Avatar and Shutter Island (this one is scary).

Waking Life is pretty popular on DV I think, it's great if you have a bit of patience and like philosophy

Vanilla Sky is another one that isn't mentioned in the links above. Just remember to open your eyes...

I know it's been canceled now, but I've gotten multiple LDs from watching episodes of the TV show, Heroes. Particularly the earlier episodes...they're sooooo good. I even found them to help me a lot with dream control, since I had a solid image in my mind for each ability.

I generally find that things which inspire me make me more likely to lucid dream. Although, watching a movie right before bed/falling asleep during a movie usually hinders LDing for me.

Thanks guys for all your replies.I will try some of the movies when I have the time.

You're probably better off reading about it. Watching TV or using a computer will just keep you awake. Some people mentioned Vanilla Sky. I first learned about lucid dreaming and became interested in it after seeing this movie. However the movie isn't really about lucid dreaming.

I have actually become lucid after watching vannila Sky. From seeing the sky in my dream it look like monets painting and i became lucid

I always end up thinking of Altered States. Tho more horror than just science fiction It makes me think of what our brains are really capable of.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The Machinist
What dreams May Come
Abre los ojos
Total Recall
The Good Night
And if you like anime:
Paprika
Spirited Away

The first season of "Heroes" was just awsome. I watched the entire 1st season in like one week back when I got Netflix on my Xbox a few years ago. I would suggest the first Matrix movie, Avatar, maybe Iron Man or Star Wars, and don't forget that "Inception" comes out in a few weeks. It is a big budget movie by the director of "The Dark Knight" about controlling or stealing dreams or something. That movie is required viewing material for all DV members.

Sometimes if I fall asleep while watching a movie, the dialogue from the movie will enter into my dream which makes me think that movies to do with altered reality would help. Besides some of the opnes mentioned above:

I bet falling asleep to The Matrix might help. Like half the dialogue has to do with freeing the mind and dreams vs. real.

That new movie Inception is all about dreams so I bet that'll help a bit when it comes to DVD!

I can't wait for inception to come out, I've been following it since the first trailer came out. As far as I know (from the trailers) it's about a company that steals ideas from other people's dreams (shared lucid dreaming), but now they need to do the opposite, plant an idea in someone's mind through a dream.

Oops I just noticed that someone mentioned the movies I did before me. Sorry lol. That's why I should always read the entire topic before posting hahaha.

But Yes I cannot wait for Inception.

One time I fell asleep when my brother was watching nicktoons at night and i had an ld
