The trippiest films ever made by flavorwire
17 NovFlavorwire composed a video essay of “The trippiest films ever made” and while there is a bit too much emphasis on the horror and gore part of the word “trippy”, it’s still a very illuminating video.

Ha-Kochav Ha-Kachol opening scene – 1995
25 AugHa-Kochav Ha-Kachol (Blue Panet) is probably the only Israeli psychedelic feature film ever done. It is a tale about a guy who arrives at the Tel Aviv Bus Station, gets his stuff stolen by a hobo, and then embarks on a cosmic adventure. Directed by Gur Bentvich the film used to be screened at the Tel-Aviv Cinematheque every Friday on midnight for a number years during the nineties.
The opening sequence, has a very low-budget but well made psychedelic animation sequence.
The Trip (1967)
18 AugPeter Fonda was involved in a number of psychedelic films in the end of the 1960s, among them the classic Easy Rider and Psych Out, both of which featured the psychonauts-friendly young Jack Nicholson. The Trip (1967) is perhaps the most psyhedelically ambitious film of them all: it is perhaps the only film which is wholly dedicated to following one trip of one person for almost the whole duration of the film. Anyway you look at it, it is a unique cinematic adventure in psychedelia.
You can watch the entirety of the film on YouTube in the link above.
Contact High
3 Aug
Sometimes nothing is more psychedelic than a Disney movie. The bright colors and archetypal figures often evoke the puerile side of altered states. This video uses footage from Fantasia (1940) with Architecture in Helsinki’s song “Contact High.”
