The best movie to watch on mushrooms is waking life, hands freakin down. not only is the animation the most visually enhancing thing imaginable, the theories and thoughts that occur through the entire film is what really captures a shroom soaked mind. even if you don't do any kind of drug waking life is a must see. just my 2 cents. peace.

Great list! There are a few on there that I haven't heard of and a few that I was debating on viewing. Now I will see those for sure.
We have similar taste in films it seems.
You might want to check out Peter Greenaway's "A Zed and Two Noughts" M+D -

Finally someone else who has seen Schizopolis! Great list, by the way. Was this thread made this year or last? Another two you might want to add:
Butterfly Effect, The
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Both quite freaky in their own way.

Well, any list is personal, but Bowling For Columbine a trippy movie?
Hard for me to imagine.
As I'm Italian, I'll give my 2c. contribution with 2 quite famous Italian directed movies:
Michelangelo Antonioni's Zabriskie Point - http://imdb.com/board/10066601/
and Marco Ferreri's La Grande Abbuffata (La Grande Bouffe, or Blow-Out in UK)- http://imdb.com/board/10070130/
I'd give a "M" rate to the second, even if I've never experienced it in altered states.

Many of those movies aren't "trippy". I think you're taking the work 'trippy' too lightly. Seven? Great film, but trippy? Sure, a little bit, the ending only, but it wouldn't classify itself as a trippy film - like many others on your list.
Plus, you haven't even listed Irreversible. Which is about 10 times trippier than the trippiest film you've listed there. -

Might I add That Most of the movies that have a () are because I saw the movie on mushrooms. And Watching movies on mushrooms makes them really, really good. And just because a movie does not have a (), dosent mean that it dosent deserve one, I just havent seen it yet on mushrooms. Plus I havent seen every movie on that list, I compiled it from a Donnie Darko Thread like this, and a Memento Thread.
My Personal top 10 (not in any order) is:
Donnie Darko
Butterfly Effect
Space Oddessy 2001
Breakfast of Champions
Waking Life
Vanilla Sky
Altered States
Clockwork Orange
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Where the Buffalo Roam (Bill Murry as Hunter S Thompson in a more light hearted version of Fear and Loathing)
Honerble mention for:
Magnolia
Session 9
Strange Days
Lost in Translation
Momento / Following
PI / Requim for a Dream
Enternal Sunshine of a spotless mind
13 conversations about one Thing
12 monkeys
Brazil
1984
Contact
The Last Minute
Irrevesable
Safety of Objects
The Man Who Wasn't There
Rules of Attraction
Gummo
Close Encounters
Natural Born Killers
Any David Lynch
And watch out for "Knowing" in 2005 from Writer/Directors of Donnie Darko and PI

Every person who reads this list shoudl go to the imdb page for "The Sargossa Manuscript." Read the description of the movie. Then watch it while you're tripping.
You will be amazed!

PRIMARY COLORS is a trippy film? ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN? GHOST DOG?
I think you're confusing the word "trippy" for something else. Just because a movie is offbeat (HAROLD & MAUDE, REPO MAN, MAN BITES DOG), deals with heavy issues (IN THE BEDROOM, SHORT CUTS), has a big "twist" in it (HOUSE OF GAMES, NINE QUEENS, THE OTHERS, SOYLENT GREEN), or is stylishly directed/photographed (BUFFALO '66, AMORES PERROS, LA HAINE) that's not what I'd call "trippy".
Hell, any movie you watched on mushrooms would be trippy why don't you try it with SWEET HOME ALABAMA or SECONDHAND LIONS?
A few that I would call trippy (though several are not 'narrative' features):
The QATSI Trilogy (KOYAANISQATSI, NAQOYQATSI, POWAQATSI)
BARAKA
THE DARK CRYSTAL
CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC
LISZTOMANIA
FANTASIA 2000 (at least the segment with the forest fairies)
MICROCOSMOS
STOP MAKING SENSE
And the already-mentioned RUN LOLA RUN, MOULIN ROUGE, TRAINSPOTTING, SCHIZOPOLIS. -

ANY Stanley Kubrick movie can be considered trippy. Maybe not the black and white ones, but 2001 and everything afterward are pretty nuts. Even for "Barry Lyndon", Kubrick purposefully set up every shot with a NASA lens to take away any depth. And we know what happens to depth perception when you're under the influence of certain things
