As far as esoteric films go, I've seen The Holy Mountain many times, as well as some of Jodorowsky's other films (La Cravate, Fando Y Lis, El Topo, Santa Sangre). I've seen some of Kenneth Anger's films including Lucifer Rising and Invocation of My Demon Brother. I've seen The Last Temptation of Christ and The Devils. I've also seen many horror films with occult/Satanic overtones; the usual suspects: Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, etc. The Color of Pomegranates is in my queue to watch soon.

I've also seen some anime with esoteric elements: Neon Genesis Evangelion, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Madoka Magica, Berserk, Mononoke.

As for TV, I suppose Twin Peaks could be considered somewhat esoteric?

In terms of comic books, I have read Promethea, The Sandman, and The Invisibles.

Can anyone recommend more movies, tv series, and/or comics that could be considered esoteric/occult/magickal art?

Thanks?

Yuck, Christianity needs to be in the middle of everything, how did their horror trash like Exorcist become the norm? Next time someone will recommend the Nefarious.

If you love Chrystian horror, see Unholy, and The Cleansing Hour.
For Occult movies, if you like Lovecraft, then there is a huge list. I personally like quite new animated Batman: Doom that came to Gotham.

I'm big fan of black/white movies, 1930 till color... Especially vampiric topic. Son of Dracula is very good. Devil's Plaything is colored, it is also good, it has nice occult aspects, but it adult XXX movie.

I also approve first Dr. Strange movie.

And last thing, this would be better on Media section. Movies debates belong there.
