Reply to comment by IndieCurtis in Is there a movie equivalent to a David Foster Wallace story? by IndieCurtis
It seems like you've dug further into the subject than I have. The only other possibility that comes to mind for me is the Luis Bunuel film The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. This may be a little more on the surreal side than some of the others films mentioned here, again I think Bunuel and the film 'movement' he was associated with is in a sense parodied in Infinite Jest.

I think it would be almost impossible to make a film in the vein of Infinite Jest, or what was completed of The Pale King.
I think the closest you will likely come are the films of David Lynch, especially Blue Velvet. I believe Wallace himself wrote about Lynch and was an admirer.
