"This world is nothing more than Beauty's chance to see Herself. And what are we?
Nothing more than Beauty's chance to see Herself." Ghalib
Here are a few:I Love Huckabees, Waking Life, The Science of Sleep, Wings of Desire, Thin Red Line, The New World, Chocolat, Don Juan DeMarco, Nine Lives, Fast Runner, Whale Rider, Meet Joe Black, Momento, Dreams, Copying Beethoven, Blood Wedding, Carmen (Carlos Suara), Swept Away, Fanny and Alexander, Harold and Maude, King of Hearts, Field of Dreams, Just Like Heaven, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Monster's Ball, The Matrix, The Last Temptation of Christ, Life is Beautiful, A Beautiful Mind, American Beauty, Jesus of Montreal, Sliding Doors, Meeting John Malkovich, Benny and Joon, Run Lola Run, Secrets and Lies, Breaking the Waves, Good Will Hunting, In America, Heaven Can Wait, Groundhog Day, Something's Gotta Give, Its a Wonderful Life and all of the Capra films like Mr Smith Goes to Washington, Dead Poets Society, The Fisher King, Shawshank Redemption, Strictly Ballroom, East of Eden, Crash, Million Dollar Baby, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Nashville, The Player, The Piano, ET, Talk to Her, Schindler's List. I love powerful, courageous acting and enjoy movies sometimes just for that. I love seeing characters transform in a script or showing layers and more than just one aspect of their personality. There are other movies that I have enjoyed as well when I saw them but that I do not know if they stand the test of time or even should be mentioned in the realm of powerful messages or good film-making. In the science fiction realm there are many like that and I am a sucker for all of the Star Trek films and loved the TV series - especially Next Generation and Voyager, or romantic movies incuding schmaltzy tear-jerkers like an Affair to Remember or all of the Audrey Hepburn movies, or difficult (for me) to watch but well-made powerful movies like the Fight Club, Twelve Monkeys, Seven which I might not recommend to everyone... or Elephant Man (I love David Lynch) or epic type films like Legend of the Fall - or movies like Braveheart or Shakespeare in Love or Tootsie or ones that I liked but not totally like Come Back to the Five and Dime Jimmy Dean or Amelie - or musicals like West Side Story or My Fair Lady or dance movies (just for the dancing) like the Turning point or White Nights. Lately, I am so tired of the human condition, I find myself primarily interested in movies with a transpersonal theme or utopian science-fiction fantasy that show our greater/transcendent human potential. ... and for the first time, for pure escapist fun, I find myself enjoying what I would have previously never even given a chance: supsense/action/thriller type of flicks.

Why are you unhappy?
Because 99.99%
Of everything that you think
And of all that you do
Is for your self—and there isn't one!

Oh the many beautiful faces of the one
Sri Aurobindo, The Mother, Sri Ramana Maharshi, my mother, Gandhi; Peace Pilgrim; Dennis Kucinich; people who live their truth without compromise; visionaries whose work expands consciousness and is born from a sense of unity, and whose creativity is turned towards what would serve the greatest good for all; or those like Christopher Reeve who overcome adversity and are courageous examples of the triumph of the human spirit while continuing to act towards positive change; those who hunger for truth more than anything else; those who surrender to Silence; those who are living examples of overcoming the limiting mindset of their culture or of their own thoughts.I can look through a lens that sees the heroic in all of life... in the courage of coming into the human condition. In a certain light, all of humanity, facing existential givens in the journey of life, can be seen as heroic. Birth itself, or coming into a body, can be seen as heroic. And those who fear or come into atrocious conditions and/or do not accomplish the great feats of those I listed above also play their part in this dance of One texturing their soul and influencing collective consciousness. Those that resist the Divine Creative Will that breathes us all possibly suffer far more and with much greater effort than the ease, grace and inspiration that flow through acts that we call heroic.
