A question for passionate cinephiles (film fetishists)?

Question

I feel like I have run out of deep, thought-provoking, quirky, weird, sexy, 'otherworldly' films to see! and it scares me to the bone because I crave the feeling after watching one of these films and how you know this wasn't JUST a movie but an experience. Can anybody suggest any films that might fit my criteria.. art house is fine but I find some of them difficult to follow/poorly done.

For reference, I have seen: 
-Enter the Void (revolutionary, loved it)
- A Dangerous Method (I liked it)
-The Machinist (Average..)
-Eyes Wide Shut (Very cool)
-Black Swan (an all-time fave)
-13 Conversations about one thing (abit messy)
-Memento (Average)
-Pulp Fiction (a fave)
-Waking Life (absolutely great)
-Fight Club (fantastic)
-Nymphomaniac (Both volumes 1 & 2, AMAZING)
-Anti- Christ (Got the wacky down but not so much story line..)
-Equilibrium (Sorry, a disappointment)
-Tree of Life (story line???)

Thanks guys, 
All suggestions welcome! I'll be looking at reviews of all of them xx

While I'm not a textbook case of the above description,
I most absodeffo AM **passionate** about things which
have the capacity to affect us.  I'll leave it at that in lieu of
a whole nuther six paragrapheries, k?

That written, let me turn out a list of films for EVERYone
who enjoys thought-provokery...and in no order:

TRAFFIC
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
The ZODIAC

WAG THE DOG
SE7EN
The USUAL SUPSECTS

The COUCH TRIP (Aykroyd, Matthau, Grodin)
SUICIDE KINGS
SNEAKERS (1992)

MARATHON MAN (1976)
The LIMEY (1997)
SIDE EFFECTS (Soderbergh, 2013)

Based on *your* list, I rather expect you'll appreciate most
if not all of the ones I've thrown in.  Let me know??
