First, allow me to thank many of you for the movie list.

I want to say that most films by Kubrick and Lynch are pretty surreal. I've seen a few in my day. I mean, we know The Shining... old hat, right, but when Kubrick got his hands on it, it totally took sort of a different step into that nightmare, especially in the form of Danny.

Lost Highway was great. I haven't seen it in a while, but I was going to write a thesis on David Lynch's films for an English class (Violence in Literature and Film, or something similar)

Of course The Wall was surreal.

Okay...surreal encompasses "the strange and bizarre," but it also is an artistic movement in which the expression of the subconscious is fucked up, totally irrational. So, it all depends on your personal "real" right?

'tis a good thread.

I forgot to mention Existenz by Cronenberg. Pretty much everything he does is cool, but Existenz has some great surreal moments. I've heard it being accused of being a Matrix or Thirteenth Floor clone, but its much more interesting and transgressive than either.

If you want a very surreal anime you can't go wrong with paranoia agent. I saw 1 episode and I thought it was a comple piece fo shit but later I watched a few more episodes and discovered how amazing it is. It isn't for everyone, and it takes a little getting used to but, it is really good.
