Three great movies from Alexandro Jodorowsky : “El Topo”, “Holy Mountain” and “Santa Sangre”. Not at all recommended for the faint at heart though. Holds wisdom and grace, and in these aspects goes way beyond the few David Lynch’ movies I’ve seen IMO. 
Took my wife out to see a movie tonight and saw “Seven Pounds” with Will Smith…not much of a Will Smith fan, but DAMN this was an awesome movie. Heartwrenching as any movie I have seen yet. Deals with the ultimate sacrifice. I highly recommend seeing this movie if you can dig “sad yet inspirational” movies. Still a little torn up inside 'cause it was that good. 
Maybe you guys won’t think so, but I loved it. Hope this won’t ruin my reputation. hahahaha!
Love,
Carson 
Carson, that was a good film. The clue from the Shakespeare play had me concerned but I enjoyed the movie…
Kathy
Good to get it confirmed, Carson and Kathy. I got the shivers when I just read the add and felt “I have to see this one”. It’s on my list!
Another great movie is Peaceful Warrior with Nick Nolte that Yogani mentioned a while back. Just saw it the other day! Made me happy in the way it tries to show how the Now can be experienced (the slow motion or super clarity feelings).
And I agree with August Rush! Most lovely film ever.
Watched Enlightenment Guaranteed, a beautiful German movie about two brothers who go to a Japanese monastery.
The movie “Don’t look down” is an amazing look into the world of real tantra. It is presented in a way similar to AYP and doesn’t shy away from the spiritual components of the practice. The practices are presented clearly within the context of the story which takes place in Spain between a couple who meet “accidentally”.
It is filmed in Spanish with English subtitles and is available in DVD. It does contain a lot of graphic nudity.
Hi Andrew
There are a few “Don’t Look Down” movies. see

Hi Louis,
Thanks for pointing that out, I wouldn’t have known there were more than one. It is the “Don’t Look Down” with Antonella Costa, and Leandro Stivelman found here:

American Beauty… Have I saluted this film enough?
It opened my eyes for Divine Beauty, and since then… everytime I really forget myself and drown in beauty comparisons of different kinds leaving me in negativity… there’s suddenly a plastic bag blowing around right in front of my eyes, as I’m passing by… it takes me back to remembering Real Beauty all the time. Those everyday miracles… of plastic bags in the wind…

Hi Friends,
Mentioned by emc before but me thinks this deserves another vote,
“The Fountain”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDp-F3Y97ZQ
They should make more movies like this one,
Om,
Mufad.
I just saw ‘Knowing’. Don’t watch this one alone! 
You might want to hold on to someone a few times during the movie.
Even if you disagree with the outcome it might get you thinking and talking about synchronicity, the purpose of life here on earth, what happens after this life, what is beyond this consciousness, etc.
I enjoyed it. 
Kathy
hi to all,
i’ve seen three nice spiritual movies lately:
Darshan the embrace - a documentary about Amma the hugging saint while giving her Darshan (blessings.)
Naked in ashes - a good to see and beautiful documentary about the yogis and ascetics of India.
amongst white clouds - takes you on a trip to a sacred mountain in China and gives you the chance to see how Chinese buddhist hermits are living.
by the way i give a third vote to the movie the “Fountain”.
light and love,
Ananda
Thanks ananda,must be wonderful videos (i watched on you tube)!
Thanks for the recommendations so far. I’ll check out some of them.
One of my favorite movies…
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring by Ki-duk Kim
In the midst of the Korean wilderness, a Budhist master patiently raises a young boy to grow up in wisdom and compassion, trough experience and endless exercises. Once the pupil discovers his sexual lust, he seems lost to contemplative life and follows his first love, but soon fails to adapt to the modern world, gets in jail for a crime of passion and returns to the master in search of spiritual redemption and reconciliation with karma, at a high price of physical catharsis…
This one’s really good
Samsara by Pan Nalin
A spiritual love-story set in the majestic landscape of Ladakh, Himalayas. Samsara is a quest; one man’s struggle to find spiritual Enlightenment by renouncing the world. And one woman’s struggle to keep her enlightened love and life in the world. But their destiny turns, twists and comes to a surprise ending…
pretty cool movie:
Broken Silence by Wolfgang Panzer
A Carthusian monk, Fried Adelphi, dedicated to silence and meditation for the last 25 years, tells his story (to priest, Michael Moriarty, in a minor role). His order sends him to Indonesia to request the extension of their cloister’s lease. En route to Jakarta, he experiences claustrophobia and de-planes in New Delhi, India. Without contacts or any worldly knowledge, he fortunately is reunited with his fellow passenger, Ashaela, the wallet thief. Unaware of her indiscretion, Fried allows Ashaela to help him find his way to Jakarta.
also interesting:
Into Great Silence by Philip Gröning
Nestled deep in the postcard-perfect French Alps, the Grande Chartreuse is considered one of the world’s most ascetic monasteries. In 1984, German filmmaker Philip Groning wrote to seek permission from the Carthusian order to make a documentary about them.Sixteen years later they were ready for him, and sans crew or artificial lighting, Groning lived in the monks’ quarters for six months filming their daily prayers, tasks, rituals and rare outdoor excursions.
Also kind of spiritual, but with a lot of violence in it.
Ghost Dog by Jim Jarmusch
In Jersey City, an African American hit man follows “Hagakure: The Way of the Samurai.” He lives alone, in simplicity with homing pigeons for company, calling himself Ghost Dog. His master, who saved his life eight years ago, is part of the local mob. When the boss’ daughter witnesses one of Ghost Dog’s hits, he becomes expendable. The first victims are his birds, and in response, Ghost Dog goes right at his attackers but does not want to harm his master or the young woman. On occasion, he talks with his best friend, a French-speaking Haitian who sells ice cream in the park, and with a child with whom he discusses books. Can he stay true to his code? And if he does, what is his fate?
I haven’t watched this one yet. A friend of mine said it’s a good one
Siddhartha by Conrad Rooks
The story of a young Indian who embarks upon a journey to find the meaning of existence. Based on the novel by Hermann Hesse.
Enough for now Have fun.
thanks for the recommendations I would probably like the most Grand Chartruese/documentary. Sixteen years in the making?
the name philip groning looks familiar?
anyway they all sound like interesting movies, scenery of nature.
Hi Sage, yes the documentary is awesome!! I remember some more movies of this category.
This is my favorite movie. It’s directed by Darren Arronofsky, the same guy who made “The Fountain”.
It’s his first movie and low budget.
Pi by Darren Aronofsky
In Manhattan, behind six locks, lives Max Cohen, a mathematician and computer whiz. Since staring at the sun at age six, he’s had terrible headaches; plus, he can’t abide human contact except with an aging professor, and he’s obsessed with finding numeric patterns. His current obsession is the stock market; his theories bring him to the attention of Wall Street traders. He also keeps running into Lenny, a fast-talking Hasidic who fronts for a cabal that wants to rediscover long-lost mathematical mysteries in the Torah. Neither group is benign, and they pursue Max as his hallucinations and headaches worsen. Does nature offer any solutions? Can Max find them?
The Sky Above Berlin by Wim Wenders
This Wim Wenders film centers around the story of two angels wandering in a mixture of post-war and modern Berlin. Invisible to humans, they nevertheless give their help and comfort to all the lonely and depressed souls they meet. Finally, after many centuries, one of the angels becomes unhappy with his immortal state and wishes to become human in order to experience the joys of everyday life. He meets a circus acrobat and finds in her the fufillment of all his mortal desires. He also discovers that he is not alone in making this cross over, and that a purely spiritual experience is not enough to satisfy anyone
So funny!
Cute movie!!!
Martian Child bye Menno Meyes
What’s the nature of being a parent and of being a child? David is a widower grieving for two years. He writes science fiction and was considered weird as a boy. He meets Dennis, a foster child who claims to be on a mission from Mars, stays in a large box all day, fears sunlight, and wears a belt of flashlight batteries so he won’t float away. David takes the six-year-old home on a trial. His sister and his wife’s best friend offer support, but the guys are basically alone to figure this out. Dennis takes things, is expelled, and is coached by David in being normal. Will the court approve the adoption, and will Dennis stay? Can a man become a father and a child become a son?
Have a wonderful day!!
thks for the recommendations Simon, i’m a big fan of Darren Arronosfky’s movies as well and Pi is definitely the weirdest among them.
i watch it back in my teen years and the sight of someone doing some drilling into his head kept an impact .
and a wondeful day to you too!!
