Umm... Fantasia!

The Nutcracker Suite portion. I like the music....


Honestly, i dont care for a lot of surreal movies. I have found most of the ones i have seen to be more style over substance, blah blah blah.

However, if we are counting just about naything Terry Gilliam has made, I lOVE 12 Monkeys. It has my #1 favorite Brad Pitt character ever, Jeffery Goines.

Nacho Cerdà's The Awakening and Genesis. Aftermath gets the most discussion but both of those flicks were fun and surreal.

Videodrome
Big Lebowski (maybe not for some)
Tetsuo
Spider
Pi was pretty good...

Here's a silly movie that I liked despite its silliness...

"T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous"

Mixes surreality with education. Also in a weird way captures the dreamlike, netherworldly quality of museums.

it was pretty cool ... short movie though - an imax feature wasnt it ?

Yes, it was an IMAX film, and I actually saw it in 3D when it was in the IMAX theatres--not bad! And I rented it later and watched it flat. And it still was pretty okay! I think it's only 45 minutes or something like that. But I think the idea was that when you wander around inside a dark quiet museum, time sorta dissolves and everything becomes dreamlike. If that was the concept, I thought the film realized it very well.
