Cool. I just watched The Butterfly Effect, and man, has that occupied my thoughts. It starts off telling the story of the main character's really troubled childhood, in which he keeps having blackouts during major (and traumatic) experiences. In colledge, he discovers that by reading his journals of the time, he can go back and inhabit is childhood body during the blackouts, and affect history. But each time he finds that something else has gone really bad, from best friends being in a mental institution, to becoming a murderer and going to jail, to discovering his arms were amputated and is paralysed from the waste down.

Thought provoking, and psychologically scary (being lost in other timelines and being unable to make things right).
