Movie bin

Migrated topic.
Attack on Titan was absolutely amazing.
A lot of people recommend Cowboy Bebop, but it didn't blow me away.

I saw Everest recently. I have to say it is the most amazing movie I have ever seen about a true story: Beautiful, inspirational, frightening, tragic.
 
IF you are a fan of Back To The Future (let's be honest, who isn't a fan? :d ) and you have Netflix, there is an amazing documentary about it with interviews from Cast/Crew/Fans/Producers etc etc. I found it to be quite fascinating! Go check it out!

It is called:

"Back In Time"

Not sure if posted yet, but I suggest you to watch the documentary "HUMANS" by Yann Arthus-Bertrand.

Its from the guy who made the "Earth from above" series, and the documentary "HOME".
Its a free release, that permits everybody to share it and make public presentations.

It is such an amazing film, and most eye opening upon the human condition. If you enjoy all the picture sets around the web, of humans with the most amazing, a thousand words telling faces, marked by life, you will certainly love this piece of art.

This is the first of three parts:

I just finished watching all three Human 2015 movies and planned on recommending them as well. There is a good link for all three movies at filmsforaction.org

Maria Sabina - Spirit Woman (Mushroom Shamanism Documentary)

Maria Sabina was a mushroom curandera. This is a beautifully insightful and poetic documentary about shamanism through mushrooms.

"I am the woman who was born alone
I am the woman who fell alone
I am the woman who waits
I am the woman who seeks
I am the woman who looks inward
I am the woman who looks under the water
I am the sacred swimmer
Because I can swim in greatness.

I am the moon woman
I am the woman who flies
I am the meteor woman
I am the woman of the sandal constellation
I am the woman of the cane constellation
I am the star woman
God
Because I've gone to these places since the beginning.

I am the woman of breeze
I am the woman of fresh dew
I am the woman of dawn
I am the woman of twilight.

I am the woman who blossoms
I am the woman who was uprooted
I am the woman who cries
I am the woman who whistles
I am the woman who makes noise
I am the woman who plays the drum
I am the woman who plays the trumpet
I am the woman who plays the violin
I am the woman who cheers
Because I am the holy clown.

I am the sunstone woman
I am the daylight woman
I am the woman who makes things revolve
I am the woman of heaven
I am the woman of good
I am the pure woman
I am the woman of spirit
Because I can enter and I can leave the kingdom of death.

I am the woman who draws out
I am the woman who cleanses
I am the woman who cures
I am the woman who sets right
I am the woman of herbs
I am the woman wise in language
Because I am the woman wise in medicine."

Stepping Into The Fire (Ayahuasca Documentary)

This documentary is about a successful man living an unfulfilling life and his road towards truth and happiness. It provides insight into ancient shamanic practices and commentary on human spirituality and wellness.



Enjoy.
 
Metamorphosis (Ayahuasca Documentary)

Ayahuasca has been used by Shamans and those they help for hundreds if not thousands of years. Found all over the Amazon, Ayahuasca and it's incredible ability to heal has been slowly but steadily creeping into western consciousness. Metamorphosis is a documentary that follows several westerners as they undergo five Ayahuasca ceremonies and experience the gamut of emotions - from utter fear to outright ecstasy. It also explores the shamans who work with the medicine as well as all the key elements of an Ayahuasca ceremony. The film also tells the story of Hamilton Souther, who earlier in life had no belief of and in spirit. After having a spiritual awakening, Hamilton is led to the Amazon where he apprentices as an Ayahuascero, or person who practices medicine with Ayahuasca. Hamilton and Maestro Don Alberto (an indigenous master shaman for over thirty years that practices with Hamilton) take us through the ceremonies as well as explain the meaning behind them.

Ibogaine: Rite of Passage (Iboga Documentary)


Ibogaine is a substance that is derived from the root of an African plant that grows in Gabon. This plant is originally used during initiations of the Bwiti culture, but in the sixties the anti-addictive properties of this psychoactive substance were discovered by Howard Lotsof.

Ibogaine is surrounded by controversy. The decisions about the use of Ibogaine in the treatment of addiction appear to be made on political and economical, rather than rational basis.

Despite the results that show the efficacy of Ibogaine, the pharmaceutical companies and the government show no interest and stay skeptical. Ibogaine has provided us with more insight in the mechanisms of addiction and the question if it needs to be used for treating this huge western problem gets more and more acknowledgment.

Cy (34) has been using a mixture of heroine and amphetamine for about 11 years, but his three children and his ambitions are more valuable to him. Kicking his addiction is a tough job for him. It reveals all his suppressed emotions.

Moussavou (22) lives in the village Mitoné in Gabon. For her the traditional African initiation is part of healing process. She suffered from an illness for more than a year and she hopes that eating the holy plant will be the starting point of a new phase in her life.

This 50 minute documentary shows the different aspects of this special substance by means of personal experiences and explanations of ex-addicts, treatment providers and experts.



Enjoy.
 
I watched this one last night. Check it out. Quite a bit of subtitles but enjoyable no the less. It's called 'Mirror of the Spirit'.

Don Ignacio rocks. Haha,

I just saw this film. It was an epic psychedelic epic journey from start to finish.

The Forbidden Room (2015)

Trailer:

Plot - from the wiki
"With stories within stories in the manner of a Russian nesting doll, The Forbidden Room depicts, among other things: a doomed submarine crew doubling the lifespan of their oxygen by eating flapjacks (because they contain air pockets); apprentice lumberjacks ("saplingjacks") who set out to rescue the woman they love from bandits; a madman on a train under the charge of a womanizing psychiatrist; a surgeon kidnapped by a team of "women skeletons" who work as insurance defrauders; and a mustache that seeks to comfort the widow of the man whose face it used to adorn."
 
Wow.

After reading the first few pages nearly all of my favorite movies were mentioned! Goes to show this site has a great taste in film. I don't recall seeing this in the pages I've read but Enter the Void is a must see for all DMT users or people interested in the afterlife and reincarnation. Even though I'm sure it's mentioned someone within this 6 year thread :p .

Besides that The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a masterfully crafted long motion picture featuring Clint Eastwood.

Spirited Away, a beautiful Japanese animated film by Hayao Miyazaki.

The Game (from the same director of Fight Club) is also one of my most favorite movies of all time and is extremely relevant to this forum. Not so much with DMT but with LSD, an intensely overwhelming experience can lead you questioning your own reality and everything around you into a point where you are convinced impossible things are happening.. even though they only exist within your own mind. The Game takes this state of thinking induced by these psychedelics into a literal real life game, recreating the horrors of a bad LSD trip into a real physical life experience. Or at least, that's how I like looking at it :) .

Vanilla Sky is also similar in concept to The Game, yet drastically different at the same time.

Also don't think I saw anybody mention Gummo from what I saw, or even The Others with Nicole Kidman. I feel like the ending to The Others sends a great message about Religious extremist and harsh possibility and truth of the afterlife.

Besides that the Animatrix and Frailty are must sees that are certainly unforgettable films.

Lastly have to mention my personal favorite even though I saw it mentioned earlier, Eyes Wide Shut. My favorite Kubrick film and film ever for that matter, even though all of his films are breathtaking. There are many others but for the most part they've been mentioned, but if you haven't seen any of the films above and are looking for a good watch then they are must sees!

EDIT:

Also forgot to mention this very rare gem not many people know about, probably because it is a short film and not a full movie. Lucifer Rising is a short film by infamous 60's underground director Kenneth Anger. Kenneth Anger a very talented and original filmmaker with a dark past, with ties to the Manson family, including the guy who did it's amazing film score. Regardless of that, great original and interesting work of art. Highly Recommended.

(Just be sure to watch the one with the original soundtrack by Bobby Beausoleil)
