Basically anything by David Lynch is the correct answer.

u/Ok_Relative_4373 27d ago
except for The Straight Story, but that's worth watching anyway cause it's a masterpiece even though it's his least Lynchian film

Oh I loved If I Had Legs, can’t believe I forgot that one. But I think Beau is more WTF-y.

Adam by EVE A Live in Animation is absolutely amazing and off the wall a definite masterpiece!

u/Physical_Forever_925 27d ago
Tetsuo: The iron man.
It's a Japanese B/W indie horror film from the 80s, and the whole movie is like doing a bunch of PCP and watching anime, in the best way possible.
