Should I watch television or movies while tripping?
In general I try to watch as little TV as humanly possible. Especially while tripping.
However if you *must* watch TV or movies I would personally go for
nature-oriented shows (such as discovery channel, science channel,
etc.. hey.. you may learn something) that or cartoons. There used to be
good cartoons like the Transformers, the Maxx, Smurfs, and of course
Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy.. but I don\'t know so much anymore. Stay
away from commercials and MTV, CNN and all that crap like the plague.
It warps your mind. Try to watch uplifting things.
Movies I recommend: Liquid Crystal Vision, Fantasia 2000, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Yellow Submarine, Alice in Wonderland, Willy Wonka, Baraka. Of course it\'s a matter of personal preferences.. those are generally some tried and trued \"good tripping movies\". Of course there is the infamous Wizard of Oz syncing up with Pink Floyd\'s dark side of the moon.. you must start & pause the cd... then unpause at the end of the 3rd roar of the lion in the title. In fact you can sync your favorite music with many movies with a pleasant effect.
Video games are sometimes fabulous while tripping. :)
Spend less time staring at the radiation brainwashing box (although it has its good points too..), and more time outside with the trees and sky.

I personally do not enjoy watching movies or television while tripping forthemost part. My favorite trips are nature oriented, or sitting around in my room with blacklights and good tunes :) However, there are some good tripping movies, and cartoons are sometimes cool while tripping, spongebob always works great to alleviate anxiety for me :)Good tripping movies include: Altered States (corny, but good, heh); Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I personally cant think of any other good ones, but you generally want to avoid scary movies :)I personally do not like The Wall, as manyothers do, for tripping at least. Far too many disturbing images, lol. Anyway, thats my two cents, but only the individual tripper can answer this question for sure :)
