For the past year, I've been keeping a sort of journal where I write all my ideas for films I wanna make in the future and more details about them (I've even given them names). I was wondering... are these ideas any good? I'll give a couple of them.
Sleepwalker
A man kills people while he is a sleep.
^
It's pretty much exactly how it sounds.
A Dangerous Mind
A man who uses his extraordinary power to relive people's memories, whether they are dead or alive, starts using his ability to hunt a serial killer, but he has to also has to stay alive while inside the memory.
I just wanted to share a couple of these to see how other people think of them. If these ideas have been done before, PLEASE link me to them because I'd watch them.

As for the Eddie, the Sleepwalking Cannibal, I'm thinking of a more serious route and not really about him killing people but more about how it affects his life and his relationships with other people. It would also be the main character that does this.
I have like 20 other ideas, though I don't really want to reveal all of them.
Although, if a movie comes out in about 15 years called 6:38 PM, that's me ;)

Ideas are a dime a dozen. You can make a great film from a stupid idea, and you can make a terrible film from the most brilliant idea ever conceived. It's the telling that makes a film brilliant.

That makes sense, but are the ideas actually anything good XD
And be honest, I'm okay with you outright hating them :P

I just thought it was funny. Honestly though it doesn't matter if an ideas been done as long as you make it different. Your plot for sleepwalker actually sounds like it could be good. If done right I could see it as a better than average indie movie. Ever thought of writing?

Writing as in screenwriting or writing as in literature?
I've thought of doing both, and screenwriting seems to appeal more to me.

Either one. You should try it
