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

Yeah, it's hard for me too, to watch movies on shrooms. Even Triplets of Belleville, which has basically no words, I couldn't take anymore, just because it was on a machine. So I took a walk outside
Great list though. Love the Qatsi trilogy. And Microcosmos, along with his newer one, Genesis. Though I'd add some Fellini movies.. and Eternal Sunshine, Adaptation (both on mushrooms; watched eternal on my first trip.) But not the Butterfly Effect, I found that to be pretty unoriginal.. I think the cinematography seduced people. And Woody Allen movies aren't usually trippy, but I love watching Stardust Memories with a bowl.

Has anyone of you seen One point 0? Well, thats a trippy movie even if you dont take anything. Like a Kafkas nightmare. Strongly recommend.
Also United states of leland is quite good, a way kind of like American beauty. -

yup really trippy one. i was about to ask if anyone seen this movie. other movies: human traffic the equivalent of trainspotting but on electro irreversible(u don't have to take any fungus), arizona dream, in fact all emir kusturika's movies have sthunique, no one mentioned the doors(oliver stone), a clockwork orange, the salton sea(but no so) and why not london. now movies off the topic, that i recommend slc punk, fight club, dead poet's society, the chumscrubber, waking life, history boys and i'm a fan of larry clark's work: kids, ken park, wassup rockers, another day in paradise and bully. there may be more but now i can't remember.
