If you liked Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, you might want to check out "Where the Buffalo Roam", it's an older move starring Bill Murray about the life & times of Hunter Thompson, the main character of F&L..lots of strnageness.
Also, "Attack of the Mushroom People" It's an old Japaneese horror movie, about a group that get's shipwrecked, and is forced to eat "foreign" mushrooms that turn them into...mushroom people (it sounds corny, and it is in large part, but it's also a cool look at how the Japaneese view outside influence)
On the animated front, "Graveyeard of the Fireflies" is one of the best films I've seen in a long while. Very upsetting story of two homeless children in Japan during WWII. Not your traditional anime, by any stretch of the imagination.
Finally, I've heard of, and had recommended (but haven't seen) the Japaneese version of the Ring. It's supposedly better/scarier than the american version. Saw it at an anime convention I went to, but didn't pick it up..damn.
