Might have been mentioned already, but you should check out some of Ken Russell's stuff.

I've only seen 3 of his movies, but was really impressed with each of them. Very surreal and very strange, with a really unique style to them.

I recomend the 3 that Ive seen in this order:

Tommy (Might want to pass on this one if you dont like The Who...but then again, if you dont like The Who, you might want to pass on oxygen as well:p)

Altered States (Not quite as surreal as the other two, but still a fantastic movie and plaenty strange)

Gothic (Starts out really slow and is pretty hard to follow, but its completly tripped out crazy)

Nude for Satan (1974)

A truly bizarre Italian horror film. Worth a viewing.

Wouldn't you like to be Nude for Satan? ;) :D

I watched it from that set as well...agreed, terrible quality. It takes awhile to get into the really strange shit, but once it gets there I gaurantee that you wont regret it.

That was a very interesting movie. The whole experience of Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, Mary Shelley, John Polidori, and uh...can't remember her name, was so instrumental to the creation of horror, and people don't even realize it.

For example: Some argue that Bram Stoker took more from John Polidori's "The Vampyre" than he did from the Tsepes family history. The Vampyre was writen about Lord Byron's relationship with women. The Vampyre is also where the notion of the beautiful, elegant vampire comes from.

As you know, Frankenstein was born from this experience, as well.

The movie, sort of tries to put in their opiate state, so that you can visualize that experience, because they were trying to scare the shit out of each other.
