Okay...Out of my respect for this thread, Jodorowsky, and all you crazy bastards, I went through and copied everything I could. I tried to just copy and paste the titles of movies, but because some people said things like "Woody Allen's Sleeper", the director names sneak into this list. I tried to delete doubles, but I'm sure this isn't perfect. This is just a reference for the next poor bastard that stumbles on to this thread. My GOD, so many wonderful movies I haven't seen!!! Thank you everyone!! Again, THIS IS NOT A PERFECT REPRESENTATION OF THIS ENTIRE THREAD. If you want details, nifty explanations (I deleted long ones that fudged up the list), then take some time and go back through the twelve pages of amazing stuff...Good luck!!!
My apologies to anyone who's entries I omitted, or lovely descriptions I deleted! Explore this thread, people! It's great!!!
Lastly, I'd just like to mention that the original poster asked for movies in "a similar style", and "older stuff from the 60s and 70s and 80s", not necessarily spot-on Jodorowsky knockoffs. This is just a list of great movies, most of which will leave Joe Lunchbox scratching his head and throwing his DVD player out the window!!!

really interesting how turning the list of your dvds into a thread holds everyone's attention for so long.
also quite interesting how nobody has explained how any of these films relate to anything other than this list.
which isn't to say i don't enjoy reading lists but is to say that it not so difficult a task to find everything is IN COMMON with your favorite director.
meaningless is bliss
keep listing

I would tell you the whole story but I might puke if I did. --Holden Caulfield
