Psychedelic Cinema

[arkive]

What's in your bag in terms of the greats of psychedelic/acid/hippy trippy/60's cinema?

Of course, El Topo has to be on the list of anything psychedelic and cinema:


...and Head (proof that drugs even make The Monkees artistic):


...and of course, there's "Mr. Devil" himself, Kenneth Anger:


...and then I Drink Your Blood- by far the greatest hippies eat meat pies filled with rabid blood and become rabid zombies because they gave an old man LSD film ever made:


add as you will...

El Topo and I Drink Your Blood are from the 70s. Try take it seriously. The old garagepunk board sucked at fringe cinema, the new one is far worse.

I am aware that El Topo (71) and I Drink Your Blood (72?) are from the 70's, but isn't that nitpicking? They both are examples of psychedelic cinema and are made with the 60's in mind. No one said they have to be from the 60's.

The Trip (Roger Corman)


Chappaqua (Conrad Rooks)


Angel Angel Down We Go (Robert Thom)


Skidoo (Otto Preminger)

Psych-Out
Riot on Sunset Strip
Performance

Not music related, but still psychedelic:
Point Blank
Masque of the Red Death (Cinematography by Nicolas Roeg), directed by Roger Corman
Fantastic Voyage (check out those trippy red corpuscles)

[Aldyth Beltane]

I realize this is an old discussion, but a few films also worth noting:

 

Wild in The Streets ( a great double feature w/ Riot on Sunset Strip!)

Village of The Giants ( performance by The Beau Brummels, & I believe Toni Basil is one of the dancers)

 

And some British films of the era:

If... and Oh Lucky Man! (with Malcolm McDowell)

That'll Be The Day (with Ringo Starr and David Essex)

Stardust (sequel to That'll Be The Day - I've been looking for this for ages! These were also early 70's but had that 60's rock'n'roll feel)

Privilege

Swingin' Time

 

I know there are many more, but just can't think of 'em offhand.

Jess Franco's 'Venus in Furs'--one of the greatest. I saw this tripping my face off on USB laboratory standard grade LSD--the kind that really DOES make you hallucinate!http://youtu.be/aH68fXg9rYM

Jess Franco made a lot of crappy movies but when he made a good one it was REALLY good. Great jazz, hot chicks, that whole euro-decadent feel...

I may be messed up and it may not be technically "psychedelic" but Ray Dennis Steckler's THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES WHO STOPPED LIVING AND BECAME MIXED-UP ZOMBIES (1964) always makes me feel like I'm tripping when I watch it. The great cinematography by Vilmos Zsigmond and Laslo Kovacs has a lot to do with it, but the overall weirdness and super-color contribute to the psychedelic effect.

Another psychedelic fave of mine is William Rotsler's MANTIS IN LACE (also known as LILA) from 1968.

Try take it less seriously.

And don't make nitpicking comments. That alone will make it suck less.
