Antichrist
Akira
Fight Club
Limitless

Movie 43... I have made the executive decision to label this as surreal.

definitely enter the void for me as well. it's ridiculous, over-blown, way way too long, but so great. and the best opening title sequence of all time in my books.

not to put you on the spot, but can you say exactly why you think prometheus qualifies?

reply

I love Sucker Punch too!

Movie 43... I have made the executive decision to label this as surreal: I remember that one... I especially remember Halle Berry dipping her tits in guacamole. Surreal indeed.

Stir of Echoes
The Dead Zone
The Cell

The most surreal movie that I own is probably South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. That and The Room.
