If I like whimsical, visually-imaginative adventure films with lots of practical effects like 'Baron Munchaesen', 'Brazil', 'Delicatassen', and 'City of Lost Children', what other films might I like?
Well, I was just talking about Dark City in my own sub thread, and to me it’s very similar to Brazil in tone and imagery. Not sure how much of it is practical effects but given the era I’m guessing that most of it is.
You've got Brazil and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, so how about Time Banidts?
With The congress and Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind, you’re in for a treat. I think Tideland checks the box as well. They are not exactly a narrative happening in another world, but the feeling of strangeness is good enough imo.
Honorable mention to the french odd ball named "la planete sauvage", though it is an animation film.
Merci beaucoup! Mes amis aiment les animations francaises, mais je ne trouvais pas les filmes interessantes sans leur assistance. Je suis vraiment excitee!
My pleasure, I'm also very fond of this genre :)
If you are curious of french animation films, I just remembered "Le roi et l'oiseau". It was my favorite as a kid. And if you liked the city of lost children, it will feel familiar. Sort of the same melancholia.

I assume it will be hard to find, sadly. There is this version on archive.org, though, if you can understand french or spanish.

If its subtitled, I'll be okayish. I can partially read Spanish and French.
Off you go then ;)
I love Eternal Sunshine! Thank you for the other recommendations, I am excited :3
