Psychedelic Films Compilation
<p>Psychedelic definition: of or noting a mental state characterized by a profound sense of intensified sensory perception, sometimes accompanied by severe perceptual distortion and hallucinations and by extreme feelings of either euphoria or despair</p><p>This is a compilation of multiple lists gathered from reputable psychedelic sites and popular lists on reputable film sites. The films are ranked based on how many of the lists they appeared on (can be seen with the notes feature). This list features projects of all genres and lengths, anything considered psychedelic by one or many of the sources. A note on bias: many of these lists are older, and there is a general tendency for some of the higher ranking films to be older. I will continually work to consistently update and gather from new sources to mitigate this. Take note of when the sources were published, which I have put in parentheses if I got that information. Lists I gathered from are below, if you have any more suggestions, drop in the comments!

TimeOut's 100 best animated films, as chosen by famous animators
<p>Chances are the first movie you ever saw was animation. Exuberant, colorful and full of wonder, animation is the stuff of childhood. It introduces us to the magic of cinema, and there’s no doubt that, as we researched the 100 best animated movies of all time, the nostalgia factor was overwhelming.</p><p>Then again, as we polled over 100 experts in the field—from directors like Fantastic Mr. Fox’s Wes Anderson, Ice Age and Rio’s Carlos Saldanha, Wallace & Gromit’s Nick Park, to critics and hardcore fans alike—it became clear that animation doesn’t just mean kids' and family movies. Worldwide innovators have adapted the form to include action, politics, race and sex. Animation has grown up, sometimes uneasily, right before our eyes.</p><p>We know you’ll find something to love in our authoritative ranking of the best animated movies ever made. The timeless Disney classics. The best Pixar films. Brilliantly sophisticated modern works from Japan's cottage industry—anime—and especially from its Studio Ghibli. Films that make you weep, laugh, sing along and wish upon stars.</p><p><a href="http://www.timeout.com/newyork/film/the-100-best-animated-movies-full-list" rel="nofollow">www.timeout.com/newyork/film/the-100-best-animated-movies-full-list</a></p>
"Cartoons are for Children"
<p>I love animation. I even studied it for four years at university and came out with an honours degree on the subject. You can imagine then how disheartening it is the fact that the majority of westerners (generally) believe the following:</p><p>“Cartoons are for children”</p><p>This basically creates a catch-22. Western audiences think it because the animated shows and movies being advertised are, for the most part, targeted exclusively at children and families (Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, Illumination). This leads western studios to become reluctant to make animated movies for anyone other than those audiences because they don't think they'll find a large enough audience. And, to be honest, they probably wouldn't, thanks to the aforementioned perception. My own brother even asks me every so often “Are you still watching cartoons?”.</p><p>Consider this; when was the last time you sat down in the cinema to watch a film and saw a trailer for an animated movie that wasn't family friendly, or made in Japan? I struggle to think of ANY time that happened. Animated movies just don't seem to be on the radar of most westerners / studios outside of Disney etc. </p><p>Aside #1 - I acknowledge we've had quite a few animated tv shows targeteding adults in recent years, but most of those seem to be witty short-form comedies with the same target audience - they sit in their own little niche. Plus Letterboxd is for movies.</p><p>Aside #2 - Anime is obviously a beast. But outside of Japan it's only popular in certain circles and still gets judged immensely. Partly because of the animated form, partly because of the tropes. I know more people who are aggressively not into anime, than are into anime. I see anime as a bit of an exception and it's own niche. </p><p>As far as I'm concerned, animation is imagination and creativity in its purest form. With animation, you could create literally ANY type of film or story - even the sky isn't the limit - and I look forward to the day we break the cycle on that perspective.</p><p>In the meantime, here are some examples of animated movies that treat the form more than something just targeted at children and families. Or, at least they do as far as I can tell... I haven’t seen them all yet! But I'm working my way through them. Possibly with the exception of Urotsukidoji because I’d like to walk away from this with my sanity and dignity intact thank you very much.</p><p>PS – Feel free to send me suggestions or recommendations.</p><p><br /><br /></p><p>____________________________________________<br />BONUS INFO BASED ON COMMENTS AND THIS LIST CATCHING FIRE:</p><p>► Please note that this list is very much vibe-based and from my own perspective. It's is not an exact science, and while they don't always have to be, I do lean towards films that are more off the beaten path, or lean into artistry and experimentation a bit more. You might argue that WALL-E or The Lion King might be more suited to this list than Song of the Sea for example, but in my vibe-check they wouldn't. Disney and Pixar won't show up much on here, as much as I love a lot of their movies.</p><p>► I don't want to dillute the list with too much of one thing, and this is why I haven't added *checks notes* almost every single anime movie ever made. If this was a list of all adult-oriented animated movies it would be 98% anime and I don't want that. I have plenty anime on here, but defintiely going for a balance - anime is it's own thing entirely.</p><p>► Quite a few of these films are perfectly fine to be watched by children, of course, but I don't think any of them are explicitly targeted at children.</p><p>► I've also had a few comments - including, weirdly, one extremely hateful one along the lines of "this list is bullshit, no one thinks animation is for children anymore, get a grip". And to that I say: "disagree, and your comment is getting deleted".</p><p>Fin.</p>

No Plot Just Vibes (complimentary)
<p>Movies where the plot is either minimalist or does not follow a traditional Hollywood story instead delving into surrealism, slice of life character study etc. Either way the focus is more on the visuals, music and overall atmosphere than a traditional Hollywood narrative.</p>

Animazione giapponese: il listone definitivo (1917-2025)
<p>Una raccolta personale che comprende tantissime opere dell'animazione giapponese. Dai primissimi esperimenti ai grandi classici anni '80 e '90 senza contare tutti quei film meno conosciuti e dimenticati. Mi sono permesso di aggiungere anche qualche serie ma non sono andato oltre a quella manciata di consigli perché la lista è focalizzata principalmente sui lungometraggi. Se manca qualcosa segnalatemelo nei commenti!</p>

Kinema Junpo - Best Japanese Films (1926-2024) [Imported]
> The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF, stylized as tiff) is one of the largest publicly attended film festivals in the world, attracting over 480,000 people annually.
>
> Founded in 1976, TIFF is now one of the most prestigious events of its kind in the world. In 1998, Variety magazine acknowledged that TIFF "is second only to Cannes in terms of high-profile pics, stars and market activity". In 2007, TIME noted that TIFF had "grown from its place as the most influential fall film festival to the most influential film festival, period". This is partially the result of TIFF's ability and reputation for generating "Oscar buzz".
>
> The festival's People's Choice Award—which is based on audience balloting—has emerged as an indicator of awards-season success. Past recipients of this audience accolade include Room, The Imitation Game, 12 Years a Slave, The King's Speech, Slumdog Millionaire, Silver Linings Playbook, and La La Land.
>
> The following is a complete list of all feature-length films shown at the Toronto International Film Festival since 1976. Notes indicate the year the film was shown and if it was awarded a prize.
