Movie Recommendation

[scudge]

I was just curious to see what type of films everyone here watches, any current or all time favorites? Or any film worth mentioning would be appreciated. Don't give me that read a book crap, :!: I already read them all.

The Quantum Activist

 

[nameless]

Martyrs by Pascal Laugier

 

[Shamasi Wiz]

John Carter was actually pretty damn cool for me. Visually, it's pretty sweet. Overall, it's so-so. But for some reason it triggered a bunch of memories and feelings from my one super awesome ayahuasca experience, so I was getting into that movie on a whole lot of levels.

The Big Lebowski and Amelie are two of my all-time favs, but you've probably seen both as they're pretty popular.

The Fountain
The Matrix (pt1)


The fountain is one I cant stop watching. The symbolism and messages I get from it are seemingly never ending. On shrooms it takes on Egyptian themes for swim, not sure why. Highly recommended

 

[WarriorPriest]

I really enjoyed Limitless, and the Adjustment Bureau! If you see or have seen either of these, whatja think?

The Shawshank Redemption is one I really love. The characters of Bogs, the Warden & the captain of the guards Hadley represent all that this is evil. When I want to shout out against the "system" or whatever, I shout, "Fuck you, Bogs!"

Check out eXistenZ, Altered States or Enter the Void.

 

[Pandora]

Really? Read 'em all? Can you recommend some to me please? Read these? If so, what did you think? Wasn't Postsingular dripping with DMT and hyperspatial references, especially in the first half? What happened for the second half? Was he too high to keep it cool?

Books:
Postsingular by Rudy Rucker
Night's Dawn Trilogy by Peter Hamilton, including The Reality Dysfunction, The Neutronium Alchemist and The Naked God
Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke
Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons


So many movies try to be psychedelic, but few succeed imo. These stand out for either superior effort or success:

Movies:
2001: A Space Odyssey
Blueberry aka Renegade
The Fountain
Mr. Nobody

[Eliyahu]

I would have to say other than some of the movies already mentioned here Baraka, Curious George pt1, Pink Floyd The Wall and What the bleep do we know pt2 down the rabbit whole also the Planet Earth series (Sigorney Weaver narration only). Frozen Planet series and the underwater series,(can't remember what it's called by the same makers...)

 

[drob]

Planet Earth is brilliant - but, as far as narration goes, it's Sir David Attenborough all the way

 

[WEM]

Equilibrium is one of my favorite science fiction movies that addresses the importance of emotions and artistic expression, plus it's got some sweet fight scenes. I know it's not the first movie of it's kind with a dystopian society, but it's still good nonetheless.

Can't forget about V for Vendetta for obvious reasons

K-PAX is another great psychology based film that really gets you thinking, as well as The Butterfly Effect

Or you could go old school and watch all the kids Disney films like Aladdin, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Lion King you name it

My movie suggestion would be Waking Life.

 

[daedaloops]

My movie suggestion would be Waking Life.

I would suggest this too. And if you watch it extremely high it feels like you're really dreaming.

Or if you prefer nightmares apply the same technique to a David Lynch movie, like Eraserhead or Inland Empire. :surprised

 

[The Day Tripper]

One of my all time favorites, is the biographical documentary of Robert Anton Wilson, Maybe Logic. I recommend everyone see this film, or look into the ideas RAW presents in his writing, lectures, etc.

 

[DMTripper]

The Holy Mountain

Baraka (should be viewed with headphones on a big HD tv)

 

[No Knowing]

The only one I can think of thats not already mentioned is the Chinese film, 'Life on a String" Its about a blind wandering musician seeking sight. Mirrors the quest for enlightenment. The cinematography and message of this movie blew me away even with Chinese subtitles.
