Forbrydelsens element (1984)
Everything fits.
This film does its job well. If you don't follow the reason for everything you see, don't worry about it. In the beginning, the story is set up so that we're (possibly) seeing the film as if we're under hypnosis with the main character. From this subjective spot, anything you see can make sense, because it doesn't have to represent the reality you walk through on your way to work. So if that doesn't sound like a bad film to you, then find this and rent it.
I saw this after watching The Five Obstructions in the theater a few weeks ago and enjoying that. Maybe you'll like it too. They're very different films. But who wants to see very similar films over and over? Oh, right, just about everyone, that's right... actually, me too.
Towers Open Fire (1966)
time-based visual demonstration of WSB's textual technique
I saw this about ten years ago, and I wish I could find it again. I enjoy Burroughs's writing quite a bit, and it makes sense that he would be drawn into an experimental film. For most people, his involvement would be the main reason to watch this. There's not really anything to give away about the plot. Regardless, I only recall certain moments. If you like his writing and the sound of his voice then you shouldn't be disappointed.
