Other Psychedelic Movies?

Did a quick scan through the archives and didn't see a thread about this... Anyone want to list other psychedelic-based movies in the same style as this? Anything that tickles the cortex and leaves suggestions or imprints on the mind. I'll start:

Wizards (70's animated flick with a LOT to say about the "duality of man")

The Grateful Dead Movie- They were a large part of the creation of the psychedelic movement, so of course their first movie is incredibly mind-blowing.

Allegro Non Troppo- Animated Italian movie kind of like Fantasia on psychedelics. It was an incredible experience watching this film, and i don't think many people have seen it.

A Scanner Darkly. Much darker and more serious than Yellow Sub. Even I thought it was the second-weirdest film I'd ever seen (was first until I saw Rocky Horror), and this is from a man who sees Magical Mystery Tour as a brilliant, if odd, film. Also uses a technique (Rotoscoping, I think they called it?) where the actors do their scenes and they're then painted over or something, so they look semi-animated. It's bizarre. But then, it's based on a Philip K. Dick novel, so what do you expect (the man took acid for inspiration)?

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a pretty trippy movie to watch while your *beep* up on shrooms or acid. It's also pretty trippy when your plain sober.

I'd recommend checking out Interstella 5555: The 5ecret of the 5olar 5tar 5ystem. It's an anime movie with no dialogue set to Daft Punk's album "Discovery". It is no where near as messed up as Yellow Submarine, but it has its trippy moments.

I'd recommend

Nekojiru-so (Cat Soup),

It's like tapping straight into the imagination.
Then again, it's creator did shrooms, so no wonder... ;p
