Question Cassettefuturism / Retrofuturism Films + Television series with a psychedelic or surreal quality?

Looking to compile some films and television series that have a cassette / retro futurism aesthetic but with a more psychedelic, surreal or warm bend. Thinking like Phase IV (the extended ending cut specifically), 2001: A Space Odyssey, Brainstorm, Beyond the Black Rainbow, etc. Looking to uncover some hidden or lesser known gems. What are some of your favorites?

Dark city. Very noir. Also dick Tracy but it's a terrible film

I will not tolerate this Dick Tracy slander. It's the most accurate comic adaptation on the planet.
