Brainstorm: A team of scientists invents "the Hat", a brain/computer interface that allows sensations to be recorded from a person's brain and converted to tape so that others can experience them.

and Final Cut, and a whole host of made-for-TV movies, depending on how much you're willing to relax the theme.

In response to your parent, there's also the movie by Wim Wenders "Until the end of the world"

Where IIRC a scientist creates a device that can record dreams and his wife becomes totally addicted to the experience and just can't stop playing and re-playing her dreams.

I think it's in Until the end of the world but cannot swear it ; )

Good movie anyway...

And then there's the movie which is a reflection on immersive videogame as the main plot: David Cronenberg's Existenz. Existenz is considered a flop by many, but an underrated movie by quite some people too.
