It's hard to watch, but definitely something that will remain with you forever, for better or worse.
The Act of Seeing with One's Own Eyes (1971) - IMDb

From there, I'd hit Luis Bunuel's Un Chain Andalou, which is really bizarre also but excellent. Plus, if you like surrealism, Bunuel's later films are a goldmine.
Un Chien Andalou (1929) - IMDb

Edit: Oh, and also, for that sort of high-contrast grainy cinematography, Aronofsky'so Pi is grade-a, plus it's got that guy from Breaking Bad:

Hell yeah this is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you very much!
