The Big Sleep (1946), The Long Goodbye (1973), The Big Lebowski (1998)
Philip Marlowe. Philip Marlowe falls asleep in 1946, and wakes up in 1973. Man seemingly falls asleep in 1973, wakes up in 1990, and becomes Philip Marlowe.
Five Easy Pieces (1970), The Pledge (2001)
Jack's On the Waterfront/Streetcar Named Desire. Jack's Godfather/Apocalypse Now.
Being There (1980), Edward Scissorhands (1991)
Tried thinking of a something to say that didn't make either of these seem totally lame. Suffice it to say, that they essentially contain the same story.
The Pillow Book (1996), Moulin Rouge! (2001)
Layered music. Layered visuals. Layered narrative. Layered performances. Damn.
Snake Eyes (1998), Panic Room (2002)
Story? Who cares. You know what's going to happen? That's the point. Now you can ignore it and focus on the camera.
