The most "imaginitive" movies?

I'm closing in on 2000 movies, and I'm gonna get through some more crappy horror before then, and finish it off with a special movie I've already chosen for that milestone: Andrei Rublev. And I wanna find things that have a real sense of imagination. Imagination is practically my life, so please do recommend me some of the most imaginitive movies you can think of. Since I believe there are many forms of imagination, I won't give examples, since I don't want people to recommend stuff they would "think I'd like." I watched 15 Jesus Franco movies, so I really don't care what you recommend. I want that to be left to YOU.

This thread is inspired by the movie I'm watching while getting buzzed: the director's cut of Nightbreed.

I got one for you and if you don't watch it I'll be very sad...The Swimmer (1968) trust me, it's imaginative.

This worked for me. Loved it in the theater and really wish I could watch it anew again. Damn, that was sappy...

While it's a bit of an obvious answer, Everything Everywhere All At Once is probably the most imaginative movie I've ever seen, bar none.

Mood Indigo

I had a feeling this would be brought up. It;s definitely a top tier movie on my to-do list.

Karel Zeman’s Teh Favulous Baron Munchausen is pretty fun and imaginative.

Charlie kaufman all around when his movies work he's so good but I'll assume you've seen those.... i was thinking how incredible Being John Malkovich is the other day.

Check out A Field in England. I've never seen anything quite like it. I watched it over a week ago and I'm still thinking about it.

Being John Malkovich is not only imaginative, but all of its flights of imaginative fancy help to deeply illustrate what a silly and nightmarish existence we've made for ourselves on this planet.

Good call. A film born of being trapped in a handful of rooms and imagining a way outside of them. And yet, always still trapped inside, houses, rooms, your body, no matter how powerful that creativity inside of us may be.


I think this almost moved me to tears when I saw it, which is clearly a great compliment for a comedy special

Big second to Bo Burnham Inside...here's a link to my review:

My life is also imagination. Reality isn't enough. My recommendation?


"Buffalo '66"
