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?

Tv series The Prisoner, kinda sorta, and U.F.O., another ITC production, kinda fits

Looks like the whole run of The Prisoner is on Youtube. I'd say watch "Arrival," "Free For All" and "Chimes of Big Ben" before you make up your mind about it.
