This film is a highly regarded examination of memory, perception, and time. Don't let that fool you into thinking this is dry and boring... it features the same kind of exasperating dream-logic that Lynch would later push to almost cartoonish extremes. (I love Lynch, by the way.)

Easily the most schizophrenic movie on this list. Everything about this one is an assault, from the jumbled editing to the hyper-acute sound effects. Pure rage, delirium, ecstasy, nostalgia, and filth. The most accomplished underground film in years. (NOTE: This refers to the original edit of this film! The version offered by Amazon deletes very important footage!)

We've all seen Italian zombie movies. How many of those have a man-child with an Oedipal complex?

Japanese mores and Catholic guilt are compounded until we go to Hell.

A fascinating look at race that could only have come from the 60s. It's not just a preachy snooze though... It has enough dadaist twists to be thoroughly entertaining.

Nothing about Buffet Froid adds up. It's pure, unrelenting nonsense. It's also completely hilarious.

Herzog's notorious epic featuring nothing but little people cackling their way into the folds of your brain for the rest of your life. If you haven't seen it, watch it now. It'll change everything.

A collection of old and degraded found film footage with all of the imperfections left in. It's mesmerizing.

"Viva La Muerte" is probably Arrabal's more celebrated film, but this one is definitely more surreal. A parade of challenging images.

The plot for this movie is just retarded. The thing is, it starts out simply being stupid and funny. About halfway through, you notice the sense of otherness that has settled in. When it's over, check for your mind. It's gone.

A blunt mashup of horror, martial arts, and straight-up gross-out yuck. But it's so much more imaginative than that makes it seem.

This movie actually makes my head hurt. A naive young woman floats her way through a mush of dying 60s pixie dust. It plays like a pile of overwrought vignettes parodying the overhaul of the summer of love. Very curious...

A not-so-strange documentary about an extremely strange musician. The weirdest thing about this doc is probably the fact that Jandek is so reclusive that he doesn't actually appear in the film. Wait, sorry, he does... in an audio interview from twenty years ago, his only interview to date.

The movie where Lynch finally stops bothering with any pretense of linearity and plunges fully into the subconscious. A masterpiece.

Tiny Tim (yes, "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" Tiny Tim) plays a creepy clown in this rural slasher film. The vibe is...unique.

One classic surreal image after another. Put this on and give up control to the master.

You're definitely not going to like what this one has to show you.
