If you like The Matrix, check out The 13th Floor. Came out right around the time of The Matrix and got overlooked by most. Great movie!

I clicked on it thinking it was a spoof :ROFLMAO:
Wish there was somewhere to stream it for free

First time I ever saw it, was on Svengoolie (back when he was on WFLD 32 before it was acquired by Fox). I found it to be an interesting concept. (But my wheelhouse in the horror genre is Slashers, or Classic Universal Monsters)

I remember watching it as a kid in the 70's. One of our local channels at the time (all we had were four, ABC, NBC, CBS & PBS) came out with "Friday Night Frights". As a horror / monster movie fan, I was ecstatic! This was the first movie that aired. I really didn't get it at the time but as I grew older and got into the Lovecraftian / Cosmic Horror genre, I appreciated it more.

Yeah, our Svengoolie was originally broadcast as "Son of Svengoolie". A local TV personality Rich Koz; was a fan of the original Svengoolie (Jerry Bishop); and Bishop gave Koz permission to continue the role/character. So as to pay tribute to Bishop, and differentiate himself, Koz named himself "Son of...". We had the big three (CBS,NBC, ABC), plus WGN, and WFLD (channel 32) in the Chicagoland area when I was growing up. Svengoolie was a Saturday night event in our house. We'd crank the ol' Zenith Television knob to 32. It was such a big show in the early 80's; they broadcast Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3D. You had to purchase special glasses at 7-11 to view the movie. And I remember the mania surrounding the lead to the broadcast, where a lady drove her car INTO a 7-11 down the road from me, just to get some 3D glasses. It was crazy. Sadly; the 3D effect didn't work, and I was greatly disappointed. But I've watch Sven ever since. He's since moved over to WCIU 23, which is a ME TV affiliate. Great stuff.
 
Just going through some of my favorite B&W murder mysteries. (Yeah, yeah; Sidney Toler wasn't Asian, let alone Chinese. Who cares. Toler played the part well, without going nonsensical "yellow face" trope)
