1. El Topo
2. Lunacy
3. Videodrome
4. Jan Svankmajer's Faust
5. Suspiria (not exactly a surreal film as such just more based on visuals than actual dialogue or plot development)
For anyone interested in surreal films, Jan Svankmajer is worth checking out. He is the influence behind allot of Terry Gilliam's more surreal work.
Here's my Top 5 (as in favorite) surreal films:
1. Lost Highway
2. Gozu
3. El Topo
4. Mulholland Drive
5. Inland Empire
Honorable Mentions:
Love Exposure
Santa Sangre
Holy Mountain
Sweet Movie
Begotten
Anti-Christ
Enter the Void
Hausu
Possession: The Night the Screaming Stops
Screwed aka Neji-Shiki
I Will Walk Like A Crazy Horse
There are much more, but it's late and I just watched Anti-Christ so my brain's fried, lol.
