Oh man. I always do want to check out Synecdoche but never got myself into watching it.
Idk about stalker cuz most of the supernatural stuff that happened seemed implied except for the last scene. I'll definitely check out The Sacrifice tbh as well as That Obscure Object of Desire cuz I've only watch Un Chien Andalou by Buñuel
Damm I also heard about Primer when searching for surreal films and I'm surprised the time-travel premise didn't persuade me into watching it yet.
Seconded. I always thought this was Scorsese's attempt at the genre. After Hours is a blast from start to finish
enjoyed Branded to Kill which is also by Suzuki who made the Taisho trilogy.

Seen it in my teens and it stood out then. Forgot I watched it until I watched it again tonight. I know it'sonic but it's art nonetheless.
Yes, I know a little German, he's sitting over there.Maybe not as "heady" as most of the other mentions, but I think Top Secret is one of the most surreal films I have ever seen in my life
