- DirectorGaspar NoéStarsNathaniel BrownPaz de la HuertaCyril RoyAn American drug dealer living in Tokyo is betrayed by his best friend and killed in a drug deal. His soul, observing the repercussions of his death, seeks resurrection.If you can take it, this movie is surely going to make a big, big impression. It might be hard to stomach, and it is long-winded even on psychedelics, but ultimatively it is definitely worth it
- DirectorDarren AronofskyStarsHugh JackmanRachel WeiszSean Patrick ThomasAs a modern-day scientist, Tommy is struggling with mortality, desperately searching for the medical breakthrough that will save the life of his cancer-stricken wife, Izzi.My favourite movie of all time, and one of the few on this list that is perfectly watchable sober. The most visually and musically beautiful movie I have ever seen, melancholical yet uplifting,
critically underrated - DirectorCiro GuerraStarsNilbio TorresJan BijvoetAntonio BolívarThe story of the relationship between Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman and last survivor of his people, and two scientists who work together over the course of forty years to search the Amazon for a sacred healing plant.Slow-paced movie about shamans in the rainforest and the quest for psychedelic plants. Its high-resolution black-and-white scenery makes for some great visuals if correctly inebriated
- DirectorRon FrickeStarsPatrick DisantoA collection of expertly photographed scenes of human life and religion.The best of Ron Fricke. Beatiful visuals despite its age, mesmerizing music, and implied narrative to pick up for all those who turned up their pattern recognition.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsKeir DulleaGary LockwoodWilliam SylvesterAfter uncovering a mysterious artifact buried beneath the Lunar surface, a spacecraft is sent to Jupiter to find its origins: a spacecraft manned by two men and the supercomputer HAL 9000.Ok, this is not a recent movie, but I will include it here despite its age, simply because firstly, it is arguably the best movie ever made, and secondly, it is too long-winded to watch sober. Perfect psychedelic movie night material!
- DirectorJan KounenStarsVincent CasselMichael MadsenJuliette LewisIn 1870, after a brutal run-in with an outlaw in a brothel, Mike Blueberry becomes marshal in Arizona where he keeps the peace between whites and Apaches, but an influx of gold-hunters threatens to lead to violence.The most underrated movie on IMDB, a psychedelic shamanistic ayahuasca movie with absolutely amazing visuals. Gets lots of downvotes from kiddies who were tricked by bad marketing to expect a Western. Best ayahuasca visuals I've ever seen in a movie!
- DirectorTom TykwerLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsTom HanksHalle BerryHugh GrantAn exploration of how the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and an act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution.Visually stunning, fast-paced, action-packed and long? What else could you want for a movie? Especially if you are not sober enough to notice the plot holes, this is a perfect big-budget movie for a psychedelic movie night
- DirectorRon FrickeStarsBalinese Tari Legong DancersNi Made Megahadi PratiwiPuti Sri Candra DewiFilmed over nearly five years in twenty-five countries on five continents, and shot on seventy-millimetre film, Samsara transports us to the varied worlds of sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial complexes, and natural wonders.Not quite as good as Baraka, but still absolutely worth it for all the same reasons.
- DirectorSylvain ChometStarsMichèle CaucheteuxJean-Claude DondaMichel RobinWhen her grandson is kidnapped during the Tour de France, Madame Souza and her beloved pooch Bruno team up with the Belleville Sisters--an aged song-and-dance team from the days of Fred Astaire--to rescue him.Funny, beautiful, and without distracting dialogue - a nice, chilled gem for a lighter note on your psychedelic movie night
- DirectorRichard LinklaterStarsEthan HawkeTrevor Jack BrooksLorelei LinklaterA man shuffles through a dream meeting various people and discussing the meanings and purposes of the universe.More a stoner movie than a psychedelic one, still an OK movie to chill out at the end of a longish movie night.
