Movies that feel likeUntil the End of the World (1991)

In 1999, a woman's life is forever changed after she survives a car crash with two bank robbers, who enlist her help to take the money to a drop in Paris. On the way, she runs into another fugitive from the law — an American doctor on the run from the CIA. They want to confiscate his father's invention – a device which allows anyone to record their dreams and visions.

If you loved Until the End of the World, the closest films we have are The Rocketeer (1991), Fantastic Voyage (1966) and Paris, Texas (1984). All three share Until the End of the World's cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is LFO (2013).

Epic science fiction in both cases

The difference: Leans further into action
