Best Portrayal of Tripping in a Movie

There are a lot movies in which psychedelic drugs are used and the audience is taken for a trip. Most of them are infuriating or horribly inaccurate, but some are pretty symbolic of what it is like, and others may even be spot on.
What do you feel is the most accurate portrayal of of tripping in a movie? Which are your favorites?

This one is amazing and a classic. Touches each of the 4 BPM's in my opinion.

i dont watch alot of movies but IMO Fear and loathing could have done it better. Kinda just perpetuated the negative stereotypes of psychadelics to the general public.
then again they didnt have much as far as computer graphics were concerned back than

The trip sequences in Natural Born Killers and SLC Punk seemed pretty accurate to me.

Taking Woodstock. The scene in the van was pretty darn good as far as creating relatively authentic-looking visuals.
The scenes in SLC Punk were pretty good too.

I heard a good mate say the exact same thing, he picked the movie up couple of days ago. he said it was pretty accurate as far as acid tripping was concerned.

The start of the first trip scene in Fear and Loathing is good, where the valet's face warps and the carpet is moving around, but after that it gets a little ridiculous. And the DMT scene from Enter the Void isn't bad, but IMO it's too slow and the visuals too organic. Not to mention he just keeps toking on it...
-------------------- Did he dream about dragons? Did he dream about deer? Did he whisper he names of friends who were near? What songs did they play, and how far away? Why did he whisper, why did she scream? What does the sound of a screen door mean? Who talks on the hill? Who goes to the cellar, can you feel the chill? Where does the river, when will the wind? How far are the mountains? Where do they end? Why would the church? Did the service begin? Tell me who died, and tell me who cried. Help me hide in the skin of a deer, my zippered-up bag in the mouth of a stag so swiftly I go through rows of does, it flows, it flows, it flows, it flows all over the hill where the green grass grows.

Though I've never actually seen easy rider (I know, right?) that was an interesting scene for me... reminds me of being a teenager, because that was almost my epic fantasy.,.. dosing at mardi gras.
Blueberry/Renegade, the entire film, fits this description for me. But especially the trip scene. I think that did a great job of capturing the inro-extra-personal/transcendental type experience where one loses previously held sense of "self" and can view their life "objectively."
Plus the visuals do appoximate some stuff I've seen on DMT. (more in style than color, the way it moves,flows, and transforms, etc...)
I remember seeing the young guns scene when I was a kid, and didn't know exactly what they were doing-- but even at that age (maybe 8?) I had a sense of what a shaman was, and kind of what they were doing (is that weird?) even though I did not understand the specifics.
And regarding SLC... that scene does remind me of what my mind has FELT LIKE on certain, less transcendental trips.
