- DirectorNobuhiko ÔbayashiStarsKimiko IkegamiMiki JinboKumiko ÔbaA schoolgirl and six of her classmates travel to her aunt's country home, which turns out to be haunted.A haunted house movie unlike any haunted house movie. A horror movie unlike any horror movie. A drug movie unlike any drug movie. House is on a street of its own. We don't want to give away any surprises, so we'll say that there is no trippier movie out there. Watch at your own risk.
- DirectorVictor FlemingKing VidorStarsJudy GarlandFrank MorganRay BolgerYoung Dorothy Gale and her dog Toto are swept away by a tornado from their Kansas farm to the magical Land of Oz, and embark on a quest with three new friends to see the Wizard, who can return her to her home and fulfill the others' wishes.This is a seriously trippy movie with intense psychedelic colors, flying monkeys, and a field of poppies. Some have even noted that Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon aligns perfectly with the action on screen. Coincidence? I think not.
- DirectorOliver StoneStarsVal KilmerMeg RyanKyle MacLachlanThe story of the famous and influential 1960s rock band The Doors and its lead singer and composer, Jim Morrison, from his days as a UCLA film student in Los Angeles, to his untimely death in Paris, France at age 27 in 1971.The Doors are one of the most psychedelic bands ever to do it, and The Doors is here to remind you of that fact. It's got a lot of music, drugs, and tie-dye visuals. To paraphrase Jim Morrison: it couldn't get much higher.
- DirectorAlejandro JodorowskyStarsAlejandro JodorowskyHoracio SalinasZamira SaundersIn a corrupt, greed-fueled world, a powerful alchemist leads a messianic character and seven materialistic figures to the Holy Mountain, where they hope to achieve enlightenment.The Holy Mountain is not a good film. It's important we acknowledge that. But if you're in the right mood (or have smoked a joint), it's got enough crazy imagery to make your eyes explode with color.
- DirectorIngmar BergmanStarsBibi AnderssonLiv UllmannMargaretha KrookA nurse is put in charge of a mute actress and finds that their personae are melding together.It's the same deal with Ingmar Bergman. You're gonna want to be in the right mood to throw this one on. A woman loses her mind and is sent to an island with her caregiver, who looks a lot like her. The two start to meld into the same person as things get darker and more intense.
- DirectorDavid LynchStarsJack NanceCharlotte StewartAllen JosephHenry Spencer tries to survive his industrial environment, his angry girlfriend, and the unbearable screams of his newly born mutant child.A film about a man raising an alien is going to be freaky. What's even freakier, however, is the stuff around him. David Lynch's directorial debut is set in a black-and-white wasteland where broken windows reflect shattered souls and empty factories preserve hollow minds. Maybe think twice before throwing this one on, or at least go in expecting the worst...which, in the hands of Lynch, is the best.
- DirectorCarl ReinerStarsSteve MartinBernadette PetersCatlin AdamsA simpleminded, sheltered country boy suddenly decides to leave his family home to experience life in the big city, where his naivete is both his best friend and his worst enemy.Steve Martin plays Navin, unaware he is a white man adopted by a Black family. Not trippy enough for you? The jokes about his character certainly will be. Nothing says trippy like the time he finds his "special purpose."
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsMalcolm McDowellPatrick MageeMichael BatesIn the future, a sadistic gang leader is imprisoned and volunteers for a conduct-aversion experiment, but it doesn't go as planned.When you think of trippy movies, gang and street violence don't usually come to mind. But there's an element of surrealism infused into this story of a gang member and his criminal history that it forces you to watch with open eyes.
- DirectorDonald CammellNicolas RoegStarsJames FoxMick JaggerAnita PallenbergA violent East London gangster undergoes a transformation of identity while hiding from his former colleagues in the home of a jaded Bohemian rock star and his two girlfriends.Directed by Nicolas Roeg during his drug years, this movie's got it all: a baby-faced Mick Jagger, a mob of British killers, and the most jaw-dropping ending of 1970. Plus, a lot of acid.
- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossWhen a beautiful stranger leads computer hacker Neo to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence.What if reality wasn't actually reality? What if we were living in a simulation? What if George Washington was in a cult, and that cult was into aliens, man? The Matrix poses questions no one had asked themselves and did so in a cool, tense, and action-packed way.
- DirectorSpike JonzeStarsJohn CusackCameron DiazCatherine KeenerA puppeteer discovers a portal that leads literally into the head of movie star John Malkovich.You can never have too much John Malkovich. Whether it's 10 minutes of John Malkovich, two hours of John Malkovich, or 20 versions of John Malkovich, the actor is always a welcomed presence on screen. Need proof? Check out this 1999 comedy, in which two people find a portal into his brain.
- DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsDaveigh ChaseSuzanne PleshetteMiyu IrinoDuring her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches and spirits, and where humans are changed into beasts.Studio Ghibli movies are notorious for their psychedelic references, and this one is no different. Spirited Away is so out-there in terms of animation that some parents won't show it to their kids. There's a lot of weird stuff in this film, but every scene is graced with such creativity and imagination that it would be a shame if children weren't allowed to see it.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsJessica HarperStefania CasiniFlavio BucciAn American newcomer to a prestigious German ballet academy comes to realize that the school is a front for something sinister amid a series of grisly murders.Usually, when we refer to a person as "one-dimensional," it's a diss. Not when it comes to Dario Argento. The Italian director only has one lane — expressionistic horror — and he drives in that lane better than anyone else.
- DirectorMel StuartStarsGene WilderJack AlbertsonPeter OstrumA poor but hopeful boy seeks one of the five coveted golden tickets that will send him on a tour of Willy Wonka's mysterious chocolate factory.When you were a kid, you probably didn't think twice about a grown man offering you candy or that the colors of his factory were much like the ones you see on acid. But as an adult, there's no escaping the weirdness. Even the songs sound like an advertisement for MDMA.
- DirectorDziga VertovStarsMikhail KaufmanElizaveta SvilovaA man travels around a city with a camera slung over his shoulder, documenting urban life with dazzling invention.Another movie from 1929, this Soviet production took cinematography to a whole 'nother level. No one had seen anything like it before: a whirlwind of cameras, lenses, motions, and montages. Even today, it blows your mind. There are so many how did they do that? moments that you can't keep up.
- DirectorLuis BuñuelStarsPierre BatcheffSimone MareuilLuis BuñuelLuis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí present 16 minutes of bizarre, surreal imagery.The first surrealist movie. Un Chein Andalou was so ahead of its time that people passed out and vomited at the premiere. Salvador Dali co-wrote the film along with Luis Bunuel, who would become cinema's laureate of lewdness.
- DirectorGeorge DunningStarsPaul McCartneyGeorge HarrisonRingo StarrThe Beatles agree to accompany Captain Fred in his yellow submarine and go to Pepperland to free it from the music-hating Blue Meanies.Beginning in their Rubber Soul days, The Beatles were known to dabble in a certain kind of drug. You know, the one that rhymes with "LSD." It not only made their music better, but it also led to one of the best animated flicks of all time.
- DirectorGaspar NoéStarsNathaniel BrownPaz de la HuertaCyril RoyAn American drug dealer living in Tokyo is betrayed by his best friend and killed in a drug deal. His soul, observing the repercussions of his death, seeks resurrection.When it comes to trippy movies, 75 percent of what makes them work is visual. You might get a kick out of Inception for its ideas, but it's not going to do much for you on a visceral level. On the other hand, watching Gasper Noe's descent into madness is going to do it for you on every level.
- DirectorTerry GilliamStarsJohnny DeppBenicio Del ToroTobey MaguireAn oddball journalist and his psychopathic lawyer travel to Las Vegas for a series of psychedelic escapades.There are movies about drugs, and then there are drug movies. This one falls in the latter category for its depiction of how drugs work, how they feel, and how they drive you mad. Terry Gilliam's adaption of Hunter Thompson's novel is mind-bending. It follows two reporters who decide to mix narcotics like a kid mixes drinks at a soda fountain, which leads to all sorts of trouble in Vegas.
- DirectorRené LalouxStarsBarry BostwickJennifer DrakeEric BauginOn a faraway planet where blue giants rule, oppressed humanoids rebel against their machine-like leaders.To call this movie "trippy" is an understatement. From start to finish, this movie is one long acid trip. It's about a world where monsters rule humans against a backdrop of forests, deserts, and caves. There's a reason it plays at midnight in Los Angeles — not because your kids aren't allowed to see it.
- DirectorMichael PowellEmeric PressburgerStarsAnton WalbrookMarius GoringMoira ShearerA young ballet dancer is torn between the man she loves and her pursuit to become a prima ballerina.Powell and Pressburger had made magic with movies like Colonel Blimp, Black Narcissus, and A Canterbury Tale, but they had never made something as magical as The Red Shoes. The story of a dancer torn between her fiancé and her career is filled with dream sequences, POV shots, and blasts of Technicolor. Everyone from Scorsese to De Palma has ripped it off, and who can blame them? There's no better movie out there.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsKeir DulleaGary LockwoodWilliam SylvesterAfter uncovering a mysterious artifact buried beneath the Lunar surface, a spacecraft is sent to Jupiter to find its origins: a spacecraft manned by two men and the supercomputer HAL 9000.Like Lost, no matter how often we watch this, we still can't figure out what it means. Not that it matters, since the real reason we watch 2001 is for the moments of wordless grandeur. The space waltz, the monolith, the sight of a woman upside down in a spaceship. It's all ambiguous, and it's all magnificent.
- DirectorDennis HopperStarsPeter FondaDennis HopperJack NicholsonTwo bikers head from L.A. to New Orleans through the open country and desert lands, and along the way they meet a man who bridges a counter-culture gap of which they had been unaware.Talk about commitment! The actors in this movie took the drugs their characters took, which adds another layer of realism to an already realistic portrayal of hippie culture. And by realistic, we mean far-out.
- DirectorVera ChytilováStarsIvana KarbanováJitka CerhováMarie CeskováAfter realizing that all world is spoiled, Marie and Marie are committed to be spoiled themselves. They rip off older men, feast in lavish meals and do all kinds of mischief. But what is all this leading to?Daises is a girls-gone-wild comedy on acid. Complete with colors, pranks, and montages, it follows two friends who spend their days drinking, partying, eating, and making fun of people. It breaks every rule in the cinematic rule book. There is no plot, story, or message. It also breaks every rule in the Czech rule book, which said filmmakers were not allowed to make fun of society.
