Sophie Scholl is one of the most moving movies I think I have ever seen. There is absolutely no violence in it. Just a fantastic story with deeply climactic ending.
I recommend this movie to everyone here.
I found “Seven years in Tibet”–starring Brad Pitt , a good movie to watch
Hi All:
DVD – The Last Mimzy – A fun mainstream kids/family fantasy/sci fi adventure with sri yantra/mandala (really!), worm-hole time travel, nano-technology, human DNA key, Alice in Wonderland connection, miracles galore, and saving the planet (of course).
Something for almost everyone … I especially liked the introduction of Sri Yantra (see AYP illustrations) into the mainstream, and not a bad job of it either. It will lead to broader awareness of spiritual practices.

Fight Club - very zen
Donnie Darko - deals with enlightenment and god-realization (IMHO)
Vanilla Sky - great movie if you’re interested in lucid dreams and/or gnostic christianity
Total Recall - or really just about any movie that started as a Philip K. Dick novel. he deals with reality and questioning what is real in nearly all his books (and consequently, movie adaptations)
A Walk to Remember - sweeet movie about love and personal transformation
Forrest Gump - movie about unswerving devotion (bhakti)
Best of the Best - touching martial arts movie about forgiveness
The Fountain… excellent! On the theme Death of Ego.
Stardust by Matthew Vaughn…
Be the star that you are! Lovely film with many truths in it and fantastic insights in cosmology.
Yesterday, my daughter and I watched a new film, “August Rush”. Remarkable film.
There are scenes in this film where a child, one of the characters, hears and plays music and his joy and oneness with the music remind you of the glimpses of pure bliss you experience after having done AYP meditation practices for some time. He feels music pervading his being as vibrational waves permeating all life from the universe and through the universe.
Everything around him, the sounds of everyday life were all music and it was all joyful, no matter how mundane the scene…
As I looked on the pure joy of creation, the joy of being, in this child’s face I kept thinking, yes, this reminds me of the bliss, the oneness we can experience through our practices.
Light and Love,
Kathy
Kathy,
I so agree and second your review. ‘August Rush’ was an incredibly beautiful movie, one of pure inspiration. The kind of movie I could see again and again and never become tired of … my favorite in a long time … great for all ages young and old. When my fiance and I left the theater and we stayed to the very last credit not wanting to leave … we were both tingling actually visually vibrating all over from inside out … our hearts were so full and happy … it was a true delight to see and experience.

Hi All:
Harvey, (1950), with Jimmy Stewart (one of his personal favorites)
The story of a man who has a friend named Harvey, who is an invisible 6 foot 4 inch rabbit.
A clever and humorous story about sanity/insanity and (ultimately) spirituality.
It starts out slow and keeps getting better and better, with surprises along the way. Wonderful ending.
All the best!
The guru is in you.

A fascinating film. A bit confusing, but hey… that’s sort of the point! I could recognize myself extremely well in the mind battles… and the lovely sceen where the main character Jake watches his body and hears his voice say things against his “will”, that is, what his mind would NEVER EVER imagine would be possible he uttered!
Nice film. Should probably be seen a couple of times before all points are taken…
Yogis of Tibet: A Film for Posterity
(Available on Netflix)
A rare up-close look at the few remaining Tibetan ascetic yogis and their practices, made possible by 50 years of Chinese oppression in Tibet. I would have felt better if it came to us by another route, but am thankful for the valuable perspectives all the same. You will see bits and pieces of AYP sprinkled through here, plus other elements of practice that have been discussed in these forums. Pretty illuminating stuff.
The guru is in you.
PS: Some clips from this film can also be found on YouTube.
I saw this one yesterday and enjoyed it. Very interesting all the references to the mandalas, sri yantra, siddhis, yoga, etc.
I think I’ll use this thread as a reference for list of movies to see next!
Any movie that places joy or beauty into your heart is spiritually oriented, maybe not by the conscious intention of those people making it but certainly by their nature. I would add:
Paris, Texas
Ordinary People
The Orphanage
Crouching Tiger, hidden Dragon
Probably too late for this thread as well, but I really enjoyed Kun Dun.
Oh yeah, and the entire Star Wars series! SciFi meets Zen! Also, Blade Runner asked some important questions about what it means to be human.
i wrote down titles from this thread and last night i watched fearless, good movie. THanks for the recomendation
we are one, in the same

Short Cut to Nirvana: Kumbh Mela
http://www.melafilms.com
Henry Poole was here. Surprised me, an interesting little spiritual story with Luke Wilson as a cynical atheist.
Firefly the series, culminating in Serenity the movie. Western meets sci-fi. Unforgettable characters, and a western simplistic way of looking at life is applied to complex space ships and interplanetary travel.
Made by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel)
River Tam is played by Summer Glau (Terminator, Heroes), an innocent young girl made into the ultimate warrior by the alliance. She is normally somewhat withdrawn, psychic and crazy, but pulls through when the going gets tough.
the crew of the Serenity survives off of mostly illegal activity while still retaining their morals.
It’s a cult classic.

The Warrior is a wonderful film with a mystical theme. It is a foreign film set in the Himalayas. A man is a thug for a war lord and has a vision that changes his life. Must see.
Also Hello Dharma, a Korean comedy about monks
