Netflix and 4:20... Dammit, I HAD something for this

In honor of Neil Peart, I got blazingly high and am currently about to blast Moving Pictures at ear bleedingly loud volume directly into my, uh, ears. Afterwards I would like to watch some forked up trippy shirt on Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime.
I'm still new to non cable TV, and I don't have a good handle on how to find stuff yet. I Googled "trippy movies Netflix" and got several lists of what looked like fun things, but when I search for specific titles that aren't there, the recommendations are not as relevant all I'd hoped. And it's a drag typing it with the TV remote. So part 1, any pointers for better searches, and part 2, what specific weird ass shit have you seen lately? I like Rick and Morty (although I justed watched the Ricklantis Mixup and WOW I gotta take that one in small doses), Bandersnatch (that one was tough because I didn't know the conceit going in and whoa I did not want to be in control of Black Mirror but it really dragged me in), I'd love to see the next Matrix, Cloud Atlas was fun, etc. Hit me!

Finding stuff on Netflix is terribly difficult. I discovered if you click the category heading ("trippy movies" "because you watched") it will open a full page of them.
I wish you could filter movies by cast, directors, years etc. Haven't figured that one out yet tho.

If you’re interested in very specific film categories, there’s a social network-y app called Letterboxd that allegedly has user-created lists that might help! I’ve never used it though, maybe someone with actual experience can chime in.
Also, the Koyaanisqatsi trilogy.

All Amazon:
The Holy Mountain (first review notes "smoke weed before watching this film"*), Phantasm (I suggest smoking more weed before you watch this film), Fantastic Planet (if you have any hallucinogens, it's not a terrible idea), Prince of Darkness (god speed, little buddy!)
* also. Additionally, you might want to consider Attack of the Mushroom People.

Your Name is an anime which looks like it's on Netflix (it is in Australia, not sure about elsewhere). The creator's visuals are always stunning, and the plot is kind of trippy but you kind of have to follow it sufficiently.

Sturgill Simpson, the grammy award winning artist, made a new album and had it set to a series of weird, amazing anime. It's post-apocalyptic, grungy, outlaw country with samurai, naked disco dancers, a muscle car that turns into a motorcycle and two robots, etc.

Trippy Happy, not Trippy Dark!

Moving Pictures followed by Videodrome sounds perfect.
