9. El Topo
So, you’re here looking for weird films, are you? If you’re looking for something a little less on the harrowing side, might I point you in the direction of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s masterpiece, El Topo (meaning “The Mole”). If you’ve never heard of the psychedelic Western genre before now, this is one of the best-and only-films that gives you a glimpse into what might have been had these kind of movies taken off. Following El Topo, an experienced cowboy, on his life-changing trip across the desert, you’ll either love the deliberately stylised choices or hate them with a passion-but I guarantee you’ll be thinking about this long after you forget the theme song for Wild Wild West.
