What are some good "fever dream" movies?
I'm talking about movies with convoluted plots, grotesque, fantastic, or surreal elements and imagery, and atmospheric music and sound editing. Those kind of movies that are best watched after midnight with a bottle of booze by your side.

>convoluted
Not being snide, but are you sure that's the term you're going for? It's most often negative. Having said that
Bringing Out The Dead
Hour of the Wolf
Maps to the Stars

Bentley Clark
Eraserhead
Jeremiah Reed
Thanks for the suggestions, anons, I'll check them out.
Would "twisted" or "intricate" be more appropriate? English is not my first language. Thanks for the suggestions.
Already seen it, as well as most of Lynch's work.

Already dealt with Lynch and Cronenberg. I gotta give Jodorowsky a try.
Thanks for your suggestions
Already on my list, I'm a sucker for giallo.

Sebastian Powell
Videodrome
Nolan Brooks
Jacob's Ladder
literally the only movie that i feel really compares to lynch in its ability to capture this feeling
Connor Ward
I once took strong acid and watched Blue Velvet.
My friends didn't fucking enjoy my taste while they were high.
Jose Russell
Foodfight!
Angel Morgan
I loved Jacob's Ladder, but even my hardest attempts at getting into anything by Lynch just end up feeling like a waste of time.

Hunter Cook
Anyone have a Lost River grid?
Logan Rivera
Watch Eraserhead then everything else makes sense.

I had a fever dream very similar to the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Does that count?
Brody Smith
Strange Colour of Your Bodie's Tears was pretty crazy. I'm not really an arthouse guy but I thought it had some really fantastic visuals and the use of color was pretty effective.
Christopher Howard
Pop Skull
Beyond the Black Rainbow
Upstream Color
The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears
Altered States
Begotten

Kwaidan
Cat in the Brain
Rigor Mortis (sort of)

Decent start.

Double Down
By Neil Breen, if you're looking for convoluted
Samuel Richardson
I think I watched it a long time ago. I tried Twin Peaks, the rabbit one, Blue Velvet. It was hard not to fall asleep.
I honestly want to like it. His pacing is just so slow and nothing makes sense, not even on a rudimentary level.
Chase Thomas
Greatest movies ever made
Liam Wood
No plot at all
John Sanders
...
Luke Cruz
Yeah I was like that, tried heaps of his stuff, really wanted to like him but just didn't find it accessible at all.
Then one day I gave Eraserhead a go and it all just clicked, and I've loved his stuff ever since. I can't explain to you what I see now that I didn't before because I don't really know either.
You should try his music too, I love some of what he's done. But I'm a douchebag who likes lofi and vaporwave and other hipster shit so I dunno
David Gonzalez
Jaxson Hill
Best list I've seen here. There are x2 on it that I haven't seen. Love finding gems!!
Parker Jones
Flicks by Makavejev, Jodorowsky, Arrabal, Svankmajer, Parajanov
Matthew Myers
3 women is very surreal and feels a lot like a dream.
Ryder Fisher
some cultures believe cupping has healing powers.
I had a bunch of cups on my back before (without cuts) and its a great message.

Encounters of the Third Kind describe this perfectly, 3 quarters of the way through it now and im convinced the aliens are really just a speed freak's fevered delusion.

Listen to the emotions of the film. Eraserhead is an incredibly emotional film. The neuroses he captures in the dinner scene are very relatable.
