Recently watched this, it's a pretty amazing story of how a movie that was never filmed still changed Hollywood. This guy assembled a team of artists including HR Giger and cast David Carradine, Orson Welles (!) and Salvador Dali (!!!). This was a few before Star Wars and Alien, so if the studio hadn't killed the Jodorowsky production (they eventually gave it to David Lynch, who distanced himself from the final product after being financially hamstrung by the producers and it bombed) we'd be talking about this film instead of Star Wars as a cultural touchstone.
