167. Run Lola Run (1998)

Man... probably the most mysterious species on our planet. A mystery of unanswered questions. Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? How do we know what we think we know? Why do we believe anything at all? Countless questions in search of an answer... an answer that will give rise to a new question... and the next answer will give rise to the next question and so on. But, in the end, isn't it always the same question? And always the same answer?

Have you ever watched a movie that made you feel like you had just run a race? If not, let me introduce you to the most hyperkinetic, edge-of-your-seat, thrill-a-minute love story of all time. What is even more exciting is that the major plot of the film (Lola delivering 200,000 marks to her boyfriend before a mobster kills him)only lasts 20 minutes. The writer/director Tom Tykwer solves this problem by retelling the tale three times with a small detail changed each time. Way ahead of its time, this movie would pave the way for every ADHD fueled film since (everything from "The Matrix" to "Scott Pilgrim").
