Today I nominate the inimitable filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky to be titled a "Great Dude in History". His psychedelic spaghetti-western masterpiece El Topo, in my opinion, ought to be a part of the Dudeist cinematic canon. Holy Mountain is pretty good too, but IMO El Topo is Jodorowski's best film. If you have not seen El Topo, then I highly recommend it to you. El Topo (the character after whom the film is named) is a total Dude, if you ask me.

Enough about Treadwell. So does anybody like Jodorowsky (so to speak) as a Great Dude in History?
