RE: What Cult Classic did you love before it became a Cult Classic.

Yep, I have it on DVD. And it is that fucking weird (with such things as male frontal nudity of a child [non-sexualised, thank Jah]; a rape scene that Jodo, in edgier days, claimed was unsimulated [though, watching the scene in question, there's nothing to actually simulate]; and lots more disemboweled animal carcasses where that lamb came from, including 300 dead rabbits.) And I'd highly recommend watching it three times, the first time normally, second time with the commentary going where Jodo actually explains what the fuck is going on, and third after you find that all the crazy shit that baffled you the first time not only actually has a point, but is an allegory for something in Buddhism or the more esoteric branches of Christianity.
That said, Pink Floyd never worked with Jodo on anything that actually got released (though they did apparently agree to work with him on Dune, which never got off the ground), so none of their music appears. Indeed, "One of these Days" was made after El Topo was released. The actual music is more in line with what you'd expect from a Spaghetti western, at least the ones that Morricone didn't score.
