Favorite Trippy / Bizarre Movie? (techno, quote, 1977)

jackhammer · 11-14-2007, 03:50 PM

Films keep coming to me. PERFORMANCE directed by Donald Cammell and the brilliant Nic Roeg and starring Mick Jagger. 1970. A truly trippy gangster movie with one particular sequence that still looks stupendously brilliant nearly 40 years on.

Have you seen Mind game yet? That's pretty trippy...:\
Or if you want seriously abstract/surreal anime, Angel's egg....I couldn't watch it meself...iz too shallow and stoopid...

I'm not big on Anime as it easy to be abstract with it. I have still to watch Inland Empire. I am so looking forward to that. Meanwhile I picked this up cheaply lately. It look's intriguing.

Double post n00bzorz...

It was directed at Cardboard since you don't do torrents

Anyway, I've just recently seen Funny games actually and based on that have ordered all of his other films...yep, I'm actually spending money on them...it was that good (plus, I couldn't find them online...

). Can't believe he made a remake...

Double post was slow loading of post. Hidden by Haneke is a sublime piece of work.

I just finished the Neon Genesis Evangelion series and am about to watch the movies... that show was absolutely insane though. Great stuff.

I've seen it a while back, but I think I'm gonna see it again soon, I have a different perspective now that I know what Haneke is up to so to speak...

I was apprehensive about watching this, the animation style looks very off putting . I've seen Elfen lied recently...it's like a combination of Teletubbies and Carrie...with some slapstick and soft porn...

Not sure I dug it though...:\

It's not so much trippy though.

Hell in the hell is it not trippy? Its the only movie ever made to have a "Refrigerator puppeteer" written in the credits.

Anyway for trippy goodness. You can't really go wrong with David Lynch, David Cronenberg, Terry Gilliam, Tim Burton and Ken Russell.

I'm also big on the Fantasy films if you consider them trippy, I'm pretty big on Hayao Miyazaki and a lot of other Anime films.

Jim Hensons Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal are other movies that come to mind.

Has anyone here seen Waking Life? Certainly not or someone would have mentioned it.
