ok, 1,2,3.1, 3.2, all refer to different films.
There are quite famous films that use these ways of messing with you. I love it when they do this, I think it adds to a film. The main film in 3.1 is one of the top 27 films of all time. The other one I know that uses the same system is a french film which I had to watch because I saw it mentioned so much on Answerbank.

1) Identity? Would that count?
2) Was that not done in that film about eyewitnesses who all see different things? (I know what I'm thinking of but I can't remember the title for love or money). Or perhaps in Usual Suspects at the end with Kaiser Sosez leaving the boat?
3) Pulp Fiction? Memento? Donny Darko? Mulland (sp) Drive?
3.1) I'm sure Memento does this. Plus all the ones I said in 3.2) Again, Mmento?
Is this a game?

1) Name a film: Where there is a main character, and there is another character, but both are in fact playing different dimensions of the same person.
+++I can think of Fight Club, Machinist.
2) Name a film: whose main device is to show a scene, and then to show the same scene at the same time, but shot from a different angle
+++++Go, Before the Devil Knows You're dead. I think Phonebooth did this a bit too, but not as a major device. Pulp Fiction.
3) Name a film: whose main device is to completely mess with synchronicity, by:
3.1) Presenting scenes (temporal order) 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 as 7,6,5,4,3,2,1
+++Memento (well done), Irreversible (to much greater effect, a fabulous, if disturbing, film).
(there's more than one)
3.2) Chopping and changing between temporal order of scenes.
++++Pulp Fiction, for sure, Reservoir Dogs.

Oh sorry legend, I know what you mean with Phonebooth, the shot in shot thing, both on the screen at the same time. I dislike that effect, to be honest.
When I say 'same time', I mean it's the same scene, shown again, in it's own frame, but shot from a different angle, to often show a different characters perspective. If you see 'Pulp Fiction' they do this clearly with the Lovers' Restaurant Heist, and it's all over the place in Go, and in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead.

I agree Legend he was rubbish in The man who fell to earth but I did like him in Labyrinth!
I've just watched 'Before the devil knows your dead' it's an excellent film...When it first starts off with one of the main characters 'Andy' watching himself in mirrored wardrobes whilst scr*wing his wife I kind of thought, ok then....but it ended up a superb movie with a brilliant cast. I think you'd like it Stevie.
I wish someone would watch a film called Slipstream straring and directed by Anthony Hopkins and tell me what category from the above you think it would fit in? It's a strange strange film!!!!
