Films:
Inception - Christopher Nolan (perception of the real, self image, self and other disposition, conscious and unconscious thought and time perception within a constructed reality)
Natural Born Killers - Oliver Stone (unconventional love story)
Black Swan - Darren Aronofsky (first person perspective schizophrenia/metaphorical image/ visual metaphors for character development)
Jekyll and Hyde - Paul Bush (visual style for dynamic character - character played by 4ish different people and merged together)
Fight Club - David Fincher (relationship with self?)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Terry Gilliam (Perspective shifting/abstracted ideals)
Ident - Aardman Animations - Richard Gole..... (identity in animation)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtdHN0Rc7ck
Everything Will Be Okay - Don Hertzfeldt (animation that talks about similar themes?)http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/NYQoLzDeMV8/

Moon - Duncan Jones (identity/Loosing self image)
Being John Malkovich - Spike Jonze (identity)
Catfish - Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman (internet/facebook aspect)
Synecdoche New York - Charlie Kaufman (obviously)
Human Traffic - Justin Kerrigan (visual/literal metaphors within character design)
2001 a Space Odyssey - Stanley Kubrick (The use of barrel distortion can be quite interesting when it comes to the animated image.)
A Scanner Darkly - Richard Linklater (Similar theme to Fear and Loathing but rotoscoped from live action, creates an augmented reality feel since the real and unreal in the image are the same visually.)
Waking Life - Richard Linklater (Also rotoscoped but really draws out key poses and bubbling of the image.)
The Break-Up - Peyton Reid (unconventional love story?)
Talhotblond - Barbara Schroeder (internet/facebook aspect)
Mirror - Andrei Tarkovsky (identity?)
Stalker - Andrei Tarkovsky (identity?)
Solaris - Andrei Tarkovsky (identity?)

500 Days of Summer - Marc Webb (unconventional love story - other reason?)
Robert Breer (uhhh not so much? we should ask Leonie which of his films she thought we should watch)
Stuart Jackson (what and why?)
James Joyce (what and why?)
Michael John Kricfalusi (punchy movement)
Phil Mulloy (deliberately challenges the inherent beauty in fluid animation by using harsh, sudden movements to reflect the brutality of human nature.)
