4. "Timecode" (2000)

Critic score: 65/100

User score: 1.3/10

Plot summary: "Mike Figgis's boldly innovative movie, using entirely improvised dialogue, simultaneously shows the audience four separate digital 'movies,' directing the audience's attention by manipulating the volume within the shots. The four individual movies, each shot simultaneously in 93 minutes of 'real time' and synchronized by a series of earthquakes, tell the story of the casting of a bizarre movie in a Hollywood film production company."

What critics said: "It's amazing to see a film so brazenly experimental, so committed to reflecting on the circumstances and techniques of its making, that is at the same time so intent upon delivering old-fashioned cinematic pleasures like humor and pathos, character and plot." — The New York Times
