	Eraserhead (1977)			Not Rated
i've seen a lot of movies. i've seen all kinds of movies. this is probably my favorite.
	Fando & Lis (1967)
again, no EL TOPO (which is also by jodorowsky), but durn good

let's just say that the charm of the film is somewhat less discreet

a mix of stop-motion (with clay, dummies, and PEOPLE) and live action. hilarious and surreal (that's the best kind of surreal)
	The Saragossa Manuscript (1965)
ok, i admit it: eating mushrooms makes it even better

nothing quite like the whinnying laugh of a midget...

size isn't everything...

the subject is more mysterious than the object...

exterminate all rational thought
	Tales from the Gimli Hospital (1988)			Not Rated
fish as topical remedy for small pox and a red-tinted berkeleyesque musical number...
