While vastly different in tone and genre, the following all had some form of "confusion of time/place/personality ":
Thriller: Sybil (split personality disorder) Comedies: Fifty First Dates Finding Nemo (Dory)

Spider was probably the most realistic portrayal of mental illness I've seen in a movie. And, of course, it made about ten dollars at the box office.

I watched The Shining last night. Has to be one of the most overrated movies of all-time.
