8 1/2 (1963)

Federico Fellini delivers a smorgasbord of richly metaphoric dream sequences that blur with reality in the life of one frustrated, oversexed film director: In one, Guido is stuck in a traffic jam in a tunnel, then he's soaring perilously over a beach, secured only by a rope around his ankle. And in one of the most Freudian of scenes, his mother kisses him full on the mouth before turning into his wife. A shrink would have a field day with this guy.
