Trippy Movies

Posted by Dave on May 19, 2008 at 9:59am in About Movies

Im planning a day for myself to just chill and trip out. I was planning on compiling a list of movies to watch on said day. Any suggestions? As a guide a couple movies i find extremely trippy is the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie, fear and loathing in las vegas, and requiem for a dream. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Pi is an awesome choice.; ▶ Reply to This

Personally, from my "trip" days I won't be recommending the nature channel. Tweet, tweet -- die you pecking birds from hell. Anyhoo, I concur with Beeswax with her "Alice" choice, or maybe something happy, happy and claymated? I say this coming from several "bad trip" experiences. Unless you want to go balls to the walls, watch "Gozu", "Strange Circus", or "Teorema" and fry every last one of them brain cells.; ▶ Reply to This

I forgot to mention the entire filmography of Fellini (turn off the subtitles and just try to digest it visually); ▶ Reply to This
