I'll try to crack 100 this year.
018 (8 Feb) The Fountain (2006, Darren Aronofsky) C Jodorowski lite.
Way more succinct than I came up with. More accurate, too. Good job, dude.
thanks man, i haven't seen Holy Mountain yet, but the El topo influence is undeniable.
Heck even the original script is available in a graphic novel.
Did they really thought they would make their money back as a 75 millions film?
