Movie Recommendation: Brainstorm (1983)

Title: Brainstorm
Starring: Christopher Walken, Natalie Wood, Louise Fletcher.
Director: Douglas Trumbull (VFX Pioneer on 2001: A Space Odyssey and Close Encounters of the Third Kind)
Story: Scientists develop a device that can record and play back brainwaves, simulating that person's experience to another person, but when a person dies while recording, "something else" is recorded. Natalie Wood's last film.
Feels Like: Honestly, this film is pretty unique. One of my favorites.
