Alice

No version of Alice in Wonderland will ever reach this level of awesomeness. I'm actually already disappointed with Tim Burton's version, if only because it can't possibly be as accurate to the feel of the book as Svankmajer's version.

Lewis Carroll's book was full of bizzare twists of logic. The weirdness of the book is captured well by Svankmajer's surrealistic style, but the book relied heavily on games with words. Given that Svankmajer chose to show a close up of a mouth everytime a word is uttered this naturally gets a bit grating after a while. It would have worked brilliantly as a short though!

Really bizarre adventure

Macabre and freak.

"Said the white rabbit.." Alice in Wonderland as only Jan Svankmajer could have created. "Alice" has provided me with a lifetime appreciation for all things surrealist and junk around the house.
