Santa Sangre is great because it is gory and bizzare, with lots of interesting imagery, and sometimes you think 'wtf is going on', but it's actually a very tight, coherent story! The ending ties the story up neatly, and is very sweet and sad too.
Also check out Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain, which is sort of a bizarre religious quest... indescribable.
I've never seen the Rainbow Thief, which I think is about as commercial as Jodorowsky gets, but I'm told it's very good.
I'd be very surprised if Santa Sangre is not available on DVD.
