a movie called "the holy mountain"...
 

Has anyone seen this? It's .. wow.

i have it. it's great.

fantastic movie**
someone a couple weeks ago mentioned they were going to a screening.
If you like Holy Mountain, you should check out EL TOPO.

Is that the movie with George Harrison's nude ass?

seriously

jodorowski is awesome
that movie ive only seen parts (somebody had taped over a chunk of it)
but ifyou like it check out "el topo"
fuckin rules...

Holy Mountain is one of my favorite films ever.
El Topo is great too, but Holy Mountain is Thee One.

I have not even heard of "Holy Mountain", is it by the same director of "El Topo"? Speaking of which I have never seen that movie either, but have seen it talked about on the documentary "Midnight Movies" and really wanted to see it. Is "El Topo" available on DVD, because I searched for it on Netflix awhile back and it wasn't even listed as being available so I assumed maybe it hadn't been released on DVD.

i recently found a video rental shop near my house that has it, so i'm looking forward to seeing it soon.

i bought them both on DVD--though i question the legitimacy of my purchases.

to my knowlege it has never been released on dvd although bootlegs are floating about on ebay

It has been released on DVD but not in the US or UK. I think their is a Japanese dvd (with optical fogging of naughty bits...that could have been on el topo, can't remember) and an Italian company called rarovideo put them out as well...they do a lot of neat stuff. But I'm not sure that those releases are 100% legit either....

There was a big thing about their release being held back. Allen Klein owned (or owns?) the rights and I think wanted a shitload of money for the rights to release a dvd. Him and Jodorowsky had some sort of dispute about it I think but they have apparently buried the hatchet and a DVD of El Topo and The Holy Mountain is supposedly in the pipeline but fuck knows when it's due. I havn't read anything about it for a while though.

And I haven't seen either of them....tempted to get a boot of them.

Santa Sangre is really quite good though....

i've never seen this movie but i read a little about it based on this thread. i'm amazed that any company, much less a mexican film company, would put up 1.5 million to make something like this

alejandro jodorowski is the man!!!!!

he's too cool for school!!!

i bet i can score a copy of any of his movies in any street corner here in mexico; i've never looked for them, though

has anybody read any of his comics? what are they like?

Haha...

wow, didn't know it was so popular..

one of the biggest mindfucks ever..

I hate that word!

I've only watched it for the first time just before xmas.What a beautiful movie!

yes i think i have seen it, from what i remember it was prettyu damn good.
