Dreams That Money Can Buy (1947)

This is one of my favorite films, and I love the music as well which was re-done by 'the real tuesday weld'. I highly suggest checking out their music and videos.

@diddymuck - BJM was a great movie too, but this one is a different plot. While in BJM there was a portal allowing people to step inside of just John and of course there was a sinister reason for the portal, in this movie there is a series of different people who he can 'peek' inside, and we get to see the surrealism that is in their head. This movie definitely is much more artistic in film making and story. I liked both of them. Great movies. This one has amazing visuals.

sounds very similar to Being John Malcovich, donnit?
