Bitter Rice (1949) - Sexy neorealism is the best neorealism (see Ossessione also).
The Brown Bunny (2003) - Bold, sublime stuff. I was a fool for letting it's bad rep put me off it for so long. I can't get that Come Wander With Me song out of my head now.
The Last Movie (1971) - Yeah, there's no getting away from it, a complete trainwreck of a film. Not without it's merits though.
I'm pretty sure I read some Jodorowsky trashing on the old forum recently...:
Hopper asked Jodorowsky, among many others, to see a cut of the movie. The Chilean director, known for cult surrealist classics "El Topo" and "The Holy Mountain," did and gave Hopper a harsh criticism.
Legend has it that after watching "The Last Movie," Jodorowsky told Hopper that he had failed and only made a conventional Hollywood movie. This motivated Hopper to destroy that cut of the movie and completely redo it with a more experimental eye.
But Jodorowsky told Business Insider that isn't the whole story. He didn't just give advice to Hopper — he got involved in the cutting, too.
"With the help of an assistant, I sat in font of an editing machine and in two days edited the entire movie," Jodorowsky said. "What was left was a magnificent version."
Hopper didn't settle on Jodorowsky's version. He continued to tinker with the edit, which is what Schiller and Carson found themselves walking into when they began filming Hopper for "The American Dreamer."
"I have great regard for Jodorowsky," Schiller said. "Don't get me wrong, he does incredible experimental films, but I think that f---ed around with Dennis' head. He felt all of a sudden here's somebody I respect and he's telling me I got to do it entirely different. I think that's what destroyed the film."
