Dreamscape (1984). Now here's a movie I haven't watched in a million years. And I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. It seems that filmmakers had a simple approach, like someone said "Let's make an SF movie about a guy who can enter people's dreams." You have a simple story and it lasts for an hour and a half and it's fun.
Unlike now with that movie "Inception" which is the same idea but it's a whole hour longer and beats you over the head with the complex story, metaphors and the question "Where is the human race heading?"

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
