This was Alexandro Jodorowsky's first recognized cult movie in the early seventies. Shot in Mexico, El Topo (or the mole in English) is a gunslinger (played by Jodorowsky), who, dressed completely in black leather, rides on his horse with his seven year-old son through the desert; until they come across a massacre of people. One of the survivors tells El Topo who the culprits are, and he then takes on the guise of God and seeks revenge. After this, the film goes off in a surreal and bizarre direction, with scenes of violence, racism, passion and pain. An easy candidate for a cult movie.
