Very nice. I would add Millennium Actress, Street of Crocodiles, The Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda, Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome, The Hourglass Sanatorium and Marketa Lazarova.

This is quite an interesting thread... Have seen most of the films listed here. Would love to get more responses as I love surreal movies.

House - 1977
Ghost in a Shell 2 - 2004
Neon Genesis Evangelion The End of Evangelon 1997
Tideland 2005
Adventures of Baron Munchausen 1988
Dogtooth 2009
Memories 2004
MirrorMask 2005

not sure if its surreal, but it does suppose an alternate reality society in such a matter-of-fact way that its very believable: never let me go-2010. some ppl see it as horrifyingly depressing, but i think its a borderline masterpiece, and see it as a strangely uplifting,cautionary story on multiple levels.

Just because it is depressing movie,does not mean it is surreal.I watched that film and i haven't seen any surreal element in it.

Anyway,by many professional critics,only films by Luis Bunuel was truly surreal,not any other element in them,just pure surrealism...

Donnie Darko
Eraserhead
Mullholland Drive (pretty much any Lynch move)
The Machinist
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Fight Club
Stranger then fiction
Memento
Triangle
