I have a huge hankering for surreal films, having just watched Mulholland Drive and quite enjoyed it. Aside from the rest of David Lynch's catalogue (much of which I love) and Bergman's Persona, what are some other movies that will whet my whistle?

Belated thanks for all the recommendations! I've been going through them and they're pretty much all exactly what I was looking for.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:I despise Adam Sandler but I would forgive him in a heartbeat if he played the villain in a slasher film (or something comparable) exactly the way he plays his comedy parts. There's always Anger Management, where he brutalizes his old bully, who had since become a tibetan monk. I thought he was pretty good in that if only because he had good chemistry with Nicholson.

regulargonzalez posted:Trying to think of some more films that fit the trope of, character with obvious flaw gets deepest wish granted / hit with a curse, this gives them some kind of power they didn't previously have. After an initial period of disbelief and confusion, they revel in their new ability, using it to their advantage often in a rather less than moral way. They slowly learn "important truth" about themself, and by the end of the movie they've lost that power but have gained wisdom. This is pretty much Jim Carrey: The Movie. Another example is Bruce Almighty. (Don't watch Evan Almighty, it's poo poo)

Spatulater bro! posted:Disney's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1949) seems like a good fit. while a good choice overall be aware the headless horseman segment is uncharacteristically disturbing for something that also has scooby doo style antics going on.

Any recommendations for trans-centric films that are triumphant as opposed to tragic? Good non-binary representation a plus. Feeling really down from obvious recent events.
