Head
1968 · Movie · G · 86 min · ★ 6.2 · 70% critics
This surreal, free-form movie follows a pop band as they bounce through a rapid series of musical numbers and sketch-like vignettes. With playful humor and pointed anti-establishment commentary, it shifts between genres and settings in a psychedelic collage that’s more about mood and ideas than a traditional story.
Also known as Head: The Monkees

If you enjoy psychedelic, anything-goes movie musicals that feel like a stream of sketches, you may love this time-capsule experiment, especially if you like Yellow Submarine or Tommy; Not for you if you need a clear story and straightforward comedy.
Pros: inventive musical set pieces; sharp social satire; memorable oddball humor | Cons: little to no plot; confusing nonlinear structure; can feel tedious
