The Game. Fight Club. Pleasantville.

(Speaking of the Village, my next CiaB will have a strong
Prisoner theme to it, but that's just Six of One, half-dozen of
another.)

Make sure you include the Golden Girls, then. I've always wanted
to include an image of Sophia leaping up with two switchblades,
screaming, "*this* is the way we did it in Sicily!" in a game
session. Always brings a smile to my face.

Sounds like equal parts Angel Heart, Fight Club, Dark City, and
the Game.
