Whats your favorite Jodorowsky film and why?
I'd have to say El Topo because of the awesome scenery and weird biblical and zen influences in the story.
I love Holy Mountain too , and its seems so damn sacreligious but who cares, its an awesome movie!
Fando Y Lis i kind of like, but I can't really get into it.
I have to give it a few more viewings when im more chemically balanced.
*for shizzle*
I honestly enjoyed Fando Y Lis the most out of the three. I wasn't into the western and religious stuff in El Topo. The Holy Mountain I loved for its incredible visuals but to me it seemed so obvious and pretentious. Perhaps it's because I saw Fando Y Lis about six months before the other two but I clearly remember enjoying it more because I like the more raw experimental and panic movement influenced elements in it.
shareI think it goes:
El Topo
The Holy Mountain
Fando Y Lis
Santa Sangre
But I kind of like El Topo and Fando Y Lis the same. So it's a bit of a strange situation.

The holy mountain.
Santa sangre.
El Topo.
Fando y Lis.
Haven't seen "The rainbow thief" yet.
I watched Fando for the first time 2 nights ago, and El Topo last night. Loved them both. It's hard to say which one I love more. El Topo has more "production" and all, but, Fando was charming! I just don't know. Can't wait for Holy Mountain...tonight maybe....

I take you have the Jodorowsky box set then?

The Holy Mountain is my favourite because its sacreligious. No offense to anyone but I cant stand Christianity, and the film coincides with my beliefs on life, which is legitimate.

1. El topo
2. Santa Sangre
3. The Holy Mountain
4. Fando y Lis
5. La cravate
Haven't seen "The Rainbow Thief" nor "Tusk" but based on the reviews I've read seems those movies aren't exactly the best works from Jodorowsky. Anyway I gotta see them.
It would either be The Holy Mountain or The Fast and the Furious.
Thank you all.
The Holy Mountain was way better than El Topo,
Christ! I never heard of "Santa Sangre", "Tusk", "La Cravate" or "Rainbow thief" before!
