Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse & Across the Spider-Verse
These animated masterpieces are a visual and emotional feast, featuring innovative animation styles that blur the lines between art and cinema. Their multiverse storyline offers mind-expanding concepts, heartwarming moments, and electrifying visuals, making them a perfect fit for a trippy experience. I’ve seen this movie countless times, and still find new details with each rewatch.
Interstellar
Christopher Nolan’s epic sci-fi journey through space, time, and love is visually stunning and profoundly emotional. The surreal depictions of wormholes, black holes, and alternate dimensions will leave your mind racing with possibilities and awe for the universe.
Everything Everywhere All at Once
A chaotic yet deeply heartfelt film that explores the multiverse, family dynamics, and existential questions. Its wildly creative visuals and absurd humor make it both mind-bending and emotionally cathartic—a true psychedelic gem.
Spirited Away
Hayao Miyazaki’s animated masterpiece is a portal to a whimsical, fantastical world full of spirits, magical creatures, and surreal landscapes. The imaginative visuals and emotional depth create an immersive, dreamlike experience perfect for a trip.
Super Troopers
The first couple times I watched this movie I was very high. Both times I thought that the intro to the movie was the entire movie. By the time the title card came up I was ready for the credits to start scrolling because of how good, long, and encapsulating the into is. When the rest of the movie started, I was even happier to realize I still had another 1hr+ of this amazing romp of a movie.
The Shnozzberries definitely do taste like Shnozzberries.
Enter The Void
Gaspar Noé’s experimental, first-person exploration of life, death, and the afterlife is visually intense and emotionally gripping. The neon-lit Tokyo setting and surreal transitions between realities make it an unforgettable, immersive trip.
The Holy Mountain
Are there even any words throughout the movie’s hour and a half runtime? I can’t remember because I was so entranced by every single stunning visual. My punk band used to project this movie onto the stage and over our band while we played because it’s just so visually weird and amazing. This movie will have you asking “What the actual fuck” over and over and over.
Waking Life
Richard Linklater’s animated exploration of dreams, consciousness, and existential musings is visually unique, thanks to its rotoscoping technique. The film feels like an extended philosophical conversation that perfectly complements a reflective trip.
Donnie Darko
This cult classic blends psychological intrigue with time travel and alternate realities. Its dark yet fascinating storyline, coupled with surreal dream sequences, makes it a compelling watch that resonates deeply with altered states of mind.
The Matrix
At 25 years old, this movie holds up so damn well. A revolutionary film that questions reality, identity, and the nature of existence. The mind-bending visuals and groundbreaking action sequences are exhilarating while the existential themes provoke profound thought, making it a must-watch for a trippy experience.
