Mun Mun's husband's best friend works at the American Film Institute where they have put out various fun movie lists, such as 100 Years 100 Cheers: the 100 Most Inspiring Films of All Time and 100 Years, 100 Movie Quotes.
Mun Mun made a suggestion for a list, but apparently AFI is giving up the lists soon. Here's my idea:
100 Flicks 100 Trips
The hundred most surreal moments in American film

Can you think of any more nominees? Maybe I need to consult the Psychotronic Film Guide. I guess more science fiction and horror films could go on this list.
