As input for a book idea, I was wondering whether folks here have favorite films that they consider spiritual.
What I'm looking for is movies that, for you, capture or express something valuable about some aspect of the overall spiritual process. It could be bhakti, or courage (being a spiritual warrior), or psychic powers, or self analysis, or death and dying, or reincarnation, or making breakthroughs in one's own spiritual development, or the teacher- student relationship, or pretty much anything if it turned you on and inspired you. For the record, my list of such films would include weird shit like Conan The Barbarian, Risky Business, Gandhi, Alien, Groundhog Day, Highlander, The Last Wave, The Road Warrior, The Last Temptation of Christ, Little Buddha, The Life of Brian, Seven Years in Tibet, Jacob's Ladder, Don Juan de Marco, Seven Samurai, Thief, Dune, Excalibur, Pow Wow Highway, Cool Runnings, L.A. Story, The Milagro Beanfield War, The Princess Bride, Picnic At Hanging Rock, Being There, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Razor's Edge, Schindler's List, Witness, The Hitcher, It, Back To School, Big Trouble in Little China, The Crow, Shaolin vs. Lama, Spiritual Kung Fu, Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo, The Terminator, Windhorse, Legend, Gladiator, Searching For Debra Winger, Million Dollar Baby, Spy Game, The Stepford Wives, Bubba Ho-Tep, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Cup, Travelers and Magicians, Immortal Beloved, Tous les Matins du Monde, The Matrix, Dirty Pretty Things, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Spirited Away, and American Beauty. You get the picture. Anything goes. Violence and blood and horror don't rule a movie out from being spiritual, nor does the subject matter, however in- your-face it might be, if it triggers some revelation in you and turns you on spiritually. Given the potential theme of this book, the more Tantric the better. Thanks in advance... Unc ------------------------ Yahoo!
