Because I'm an SP, I tend to watch films that engage my senses on an absurd level. Basically, I'm looking for something that makes me pull a Keanu Reeves when watching it. Bizarre imagery, surreal atmospheres...movies that are just generally trippy, period.



Some of my favourites:

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Requiem for a Dream
Nowhere
Altered States
Brazil
Electric Dragon 80,000 v
Tetsuo: The Iron Man
Eraserhead
Mulholland Dr.
Twin Peaks TV series
Jacob's Ladder
Schizopolis
Uzumaki
Pi
Alice (the dark and twisted Czech version)
The Brothers Quay Collection
Paprika
Fantasia
2001: A Space Odyssey
Cat Soup
The Holy Mountain
Serial Experiments: Lain
Natural Born Killers
A Scanner Darkly
Waking Life
Apocalypse Now
Paranoia 1.0
The Matrix
Survive Style 5+
Run Lola Run
Trainspotting
Gozu

Also, anything by Hayao Miyazaki. Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro are good examples. With green bouncing heads, and a giant talking baby, you can't go wrong.

I used to be really into movies and shows like that too. Here's my list:

Paranoia Agent
Fight Club
Inception (Haven't seen it, based on what I've heard.)
Eternal Sunshine
Being John Malcovich
Synecdoche
Donnie Darko
American Beauty
Six Feet Under
Pink Floyd's The Wall

Nice additions! For those of you who enjoy Tool music videos, or generally trippy yet beautiful imagery, check out the short films by The Brothers Quay. The guitarist, Adam Jones, seems to have been largely inspired by their surreal stop-motion films:

sorry for cutting in here, but you guys have to see Hausu. C:




it's the most amazing thing -- hilarious and creepy and trippy and really, really weird in all the best ways. <3

Hahahaha...man, when I first saw Hausu, my 'what the fuck' meter was pegged. Thanks for reminding me of that one!

I forgot to mention some of Terry Gilliam's other movies, aside from Brazil. Anything he directs is pretty wacked out. Also, any of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's films. The City of Lost Children and Delicatessen were pretty bizarre, to say the least.

Lovely Bones
What Dreams May Come
Spirited Away...
oh and how come nobody's mentioned Dumbo!? For that pink elephant scene alone XD
