I never enjoyed watching movies on acid. It always felt like what I was watching was so contrived and superficial. Movies are contrived and superficial, but that's the way I like them; I don't like to have that bubble burst. Watching Silence of the Lambs--one of my favorites--on acid made me hate it for a short while, because I couldn't take Lecter seriously. I remember going to the movies to see the re-release of Empire Strikes Back in the 90s. That was awesome, because we had to walk a mile in the snow to get there and then the movie opens on the ice planet Hoth, which made it really surreal. That was the exception, however.
