Head. Written by Jack Nicholson, starring The Monkees in that era after they were done being TV stars and decided to become psychedelic rock gods. I would argue that these movies rarely work outside of the nonlinear narrative. Pulp Fiction, minus the editing, is a pale reflection of Killing Zoe, Reservoir Dogs, True Romance or Natural Born Killers. Memento is literally a subplot in Winter Sleepers extended to a bombastic and tiring 90 minutes. But Head is such a psychotronic bizarro-fest that the nonlinear narrative becomes about the only thing holding anything together.
