Other 'Beat' films?

What are some other films that were influenced by the Beat culture? And I don't mean the goofy "Beatsploitation" films that made the counter-culture into cartoon characters. I mean films like "Shadows" that show some of the ideals and culture of the Beats.

Naked Lunch?

On the Road?

But seriously, try some other Cassavetes films.

Check Jim Jarmusch's films, esp. "Stranger Than Paradise".
