The Man Who Planted Trees A tale of small actions made large.  Images of broken light,
Which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on...

I encourage everybody to watch FLIGHT OF THE DRAGONS The film centers upon a quest undertaken to stop an evil wizard who plans to rule the world by dark magic. A major theme within the story is the question of whether science and magic can co-exist. This is told mostly through the experience of character Peter Dickinson, drawn from the 20th Century into the magical realm.  I love it!

Don't know where i ran across this gem of an 80's trippy brain melter, but its a good one to say the least.  Heavy Metal (1981) "let those who have talked to the elves, find each other and band together" -TMK
In a society in which nearly everybody is dominated by somebody else's mind or by a disembodied mind, it becomes increasingly difficult to learn the truth about the activities of governments and corporations, about the quality or value of products, or about the health of one's own place and economy.
In such a society, also, our private economies will depend less upon the private ownership of real, usable property, and more upon property that is institutional and abstract, beyond individual control, such as money, insurance policies, certificates of deposit, stocks, etc. And as our private economies become more abstract, the mutual, free helps and pleasures of family and community life will be supplanted by a kind of displaced citizenship and by commerce with impersonal and self-interested suppliers...
The great enemy of freedom is the alignment of political power with wealth. This alignment destroys the commonwealth - that is, the natural wealth of localities and the local economies of household, neighborhood, and community - and so destroys democracy, of which the commonwealth is the foundation and practical means.” - Wendell Berry

 Highly recommended. A mixture of transcendental beauty and the stark reality of the human condition that resides within it. Very beautiful intro and then it gets more condensed and city-scape'eaque/industry/human behaviour focused but ends on as good a note as you could expect.

I saw Oblivion yesterday, and it was incredible. Perhaps I was so impressed only because I had low expectations for an aliens-vs-humans movie starring Tom Cruise. Anyways, I was blown away. Every day I am thankful that I was introduced to psychedelic drugs.

Starman 1984 Jeff Bridges/Karen Allen Great movie!..fit nicely into my 'early' spiritual awakening. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088172/…those who believe in science are as prone to addiction to imposed dogma and faith as are religious zealots. So one has to be very careful to really step back and want to know the truth.

Just saw The Hobbit & Atlas Shrugged (1&2) over the weekend. Both decent, with their flaws. I did enjoy atlas shrugged despite all the rhetoric I've heard it was the product of the GOP's propaganda machine by idiots online. Another great film i havent seen listed here, The Americanization of Emily, one of the great classics. And speaking of classics, The Great Dictator, and The Gold Rush, with Charlie Chaplin were excellent films I've seen recently.

I'm sure this has been mentioned already in this thread, but I just watched it for the first time yesterday... The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Extremely surreal film, to say the least. Wonderful vibe to the movie even if it is a bit dark. Classic good v. evil moral. Exceeded my expectations (I was assuming a children's movie like 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'  . Heath Ledger's acting didn't hurt, either.

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I am downloading MANY of them! If I had ONLY ONE movie from my big 1.5TB collection to pick... ...it would be TIMECRIMES!A spanish movie! A really, really good, brain-melting time travel movie! Sci-fi/mindf*ck movie fans will LOVE this Quote:A man accidentally gets into a time machine and travels back in time nearly an hour. Finding himself will be the first of a series of disasters of unforeseeable consequences. -LRx

I imagine my girlfriend would not enjoy it. Time travel movies have always been my thing. Have you seen The Time Machine? Quite strange near the end, but a good concept of time travel, nonetheless. Thanks for the reply! I have to mention something.... Samsara was INCREDIBLE! Someone recommended it in this thread, and we downloaded it. WOW. Incredible documentary with NO WORDS. Only a really well done score, and fancy camerawork. They shoot everything from nature/earth/vistas to wreckage/debris/industrialism + MORE. It's breathtaking, so be sure to get it in HD. It's really worth it. Check it out -----> Samsara IMDB-LRx

Yeah, the time machine, while i love the 1960's adaptation, and the book as well, the 2002 film was pretty good too. "let those who have talked to the elves, find each other and band together" -TMK
