Alternate Reality Movie List

   I'm starting a list of movies specifically in which some or all of the characters somehow and by some means (be it mechanical, computerized, by dream-state, hallucination, etc.) go from their current reality of the film and into some other alternate reality.
   I'm not talking about simply fictional stories where the plot line itself is an alternate reality, although some movies in this realm may also delve into this arena, no, I'm describing something else. For instance; the movie Terminator, although the film is about an alternate reality, is not about characters being taken from their reality into some other alternate one. (The reality they already existed in was the alternate reality). The Matrix is a good example of what I'm talking about: Neo & others are plugged into the Matrix, which is the alternate reality created by the artificially intelligent machines, and when he is unplugged he realizes that the real world is something completely different.
   So here we go:
   MOVIE                        THE ALTERNATE REALITY
The Matrix           =       a computerized reality of the AI machines
Inception              =       people's dreams hijacked by an implanted idea
Labyrinth             =       the labyrinth of the Goblin King
                                      (I'll be updating this list for a while)
