"El" (1953). Also known as "This Strange Passion" is classic Bunuel about a jealous husband gradually losing it. The scene where he goes upstairs to the bedroom with needle, thread, and a bottle of ether is chillingly bizarre/comical.
"The Criminal Mind of Archibaldo de la Cruz" (1955) is again about a man obsessed with women and the desire to commit the perfect crime. Both films are first rate Bunuel with strong surrealist imagery.
