Nearly everyone has seen the famous picture of the woman's eye about to be sliced by a razorblade and this is part of the sequence that opens the film.
Other images include a man riding a bike in a nun costume.
Ants crawling out of the palm of a hand (the man's in the nun costume).
A severed hand placed in a box and given to a woman, who is subsequently run over by a car.
Grand pianos, rotting monkeys, the Ten Commandments on tablets, two priests tied in ropes draged around the floor.
The list goes on and none of it makes sense. But it's all good, because it is not supposed to make sense. Actually, Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí expected people to react negatively and expressed some disappointment when the opening night audience liked it. Allegedly, both had armed themselves with rocks as self-defense.
8/10
