^fantastic choice, cc. Even with all the fantastic pictures and sounds, they are all overshadowed by the perfect story. Very, VERY, stimulating drama. No other film illustrates the fine line between business and personal, in as many ways.
The most stimulating film to me, and nothing comes even close is Eraserhead, by lynch. The pinnacle of it being the sounds in the radiator. oh my fucking god every single time, regardless of psychoactive use or not. How the fuck did he synthesize that! And the baby! The eraser shavings! The suckling puppies! The puddle! And the "coconut" looking thing. Many MANY aspects of this film leaves me without a clue as to how it was done. And made in the 70's no less.
other noteworthy fillms:
Anything else lynch;
anything kubrick;
Katsuhiro Otomo and Hayao Miyazaki (mainly for visuals);
both Ghost in the Shell films;
the first 2 Matrix films and animatrix;
Pink Floyd The Wall;
Metropolis (both the original and the otomo anime(different stories));
Natural Born Killers;
Le Planete Souvage (The Fantastic Planet) (Old psychedelic french animation);
Requiem for a Dream;
Fear & Loathing, 12 Monkeys and Brazil (most gilliam actually);
Monty Python and The Meaning of Life (oh fishy fishy fishy fish);
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory;
oh and any Peter Chung animation (aeon flux, rugrats intro, dark fury, matriculated) (not really film but awesome visuals)
isn't this thread the same as the "Psychadelic film" thread?
