>>You didn't list my favorite movie of all time, El Topo - Alexhandro Joderovsky

>I remember seeing that back in the 70s, no? Seems it was *very* strange movie (off to google it now and refresh my memory)

>update : Ooooh, remember it now. It was a big midnight favorite at the Clement in SF in the early 70s. Made spaghetti westerns look like chick-flicks. Just put it in my Netflix queue - thanks for the reminder ( and in searching on Netflix ran into a who lot of cool instants like "Duck you sucker" with James Coburn as an Irish bomber with Mexican revolutionaries )

I remember the first time I saw El Topo and went to a friends house afterwards thinking I sure hope he doesn't ask me what it was about. That movie covered the entire history of humanity in 2 hours, it gave me a headache just taking it in the first time I saw it. The only description I could ever come up with for it was, "A surrelaistic western." I own the DVD and watch if often, I get something new from it everytime.
