I mentioned this movie in a thread about movies that kick you in the gut, I think. This is a movie that bothered me when I was younger and married but before we had kids. Now that I've had kids, the idea of what happens to Cage by the end of the movie...I'm not sure I could handle watching that one again

Definitely hits you harder after having kids. I still love the movie though and rewatch it when I see it on.

The ending always leaves me wanting more, so much more. I was talking about this movie with someone a long time ago and we wondered about an ending where he comes back to his old life and finds out the husband from his glimpse reality got to come glimpse his own life and chasing hot women and living the life of a bachelor only to find out how good he had it and ended up finding his wife in that universe and pursuing a relationship with her and he arrives back to his life with her in his bed or something. Probably would make the movie a lot worse though. I need to watch it this year.
