It goes on my list of 'dreamlike' movies, they don't always fully add up consciously but you can feel your unconscious going into overdrive while watching them (or maybe there is a surface plot that mostly adds up, like EWS, but there is clearly something going on at a least one other level). The viewing experience is often downright hypnotic for me. A few off the top of my head, this is a very personal list and I can't even claim that all these movies are 'good' in any particular sense. Just that they put me into this state:
* basically anything in lynch's cannon. I'm not always the biggest fan of his stuff, but sometimes they hit me hard.
* Cronenberg's Videodrome and it's spiritual sequel Existenz
* Donnie Darko & Southland Tales (objectively just an awful movie)
* Prince of Darkness
* Enter the Void (not for the faint of heart)
* Paprika
* Solaris (the original mostly, there are some qualities in the remake)
* Stalker
* Dark City
* Sorry to Bother You
* The Fountain
* 8 1/2
* The Ninth Gate
* and certainly Eyes Wide Shut |

Additionally, many of David Fincher's provide a similar experience
