Film Recommendations

Peaceful Warrior (Widescreen 2006)	With the world on a string, skilled gymnast and collegiate superstar Dan Millman (Scott Mechlowicz) has everything he could ever want -- until an injury changes his life forever. During his recovery, fate presents Dan with Joy (Amy Smart) and a stranger named Socrates (Nick Nolte), who unlocks a world of sage wisdom and spiritual understanding. Victor Salva directs this inspiring drama, based on Millman's best-selling autobiographical novel.
Living Luminaries: On the Serious Business of Happiness	Join a fantastic group of today’s New Thought luminaries, questioning who we are, what we are doing here and how we can achieve true happiness
Snow Walkers (2004)	Barry Pepper (Saving Private Ryan, Flags of Our Fathers) stars along with James Cromwell (Babe, The Green Mile) in this moving adventure adapted from the book by Farley Mowat and directed by veteran actor Charles Martin Smith of Touching Wild Horses (Volume 2, 2006). It’s 1953 and hotshot pilot Charlie Halliday stops on a remote island during a routine flight in the Canadian Arctic, only to get stuck with a sick Inuit girl who he has agreed to drop off at a hospital on his flight home. When his plane crashes, the arrogant Halliday and ailing but self-sufficient Kanaalaq find themselves stranded in a dangerous and inhospitable land. The friendship that blossoms from this unlikely union is the spiritual glue that binds this beautiful film together, leaving us with an understanding of the deeper purpose of life and the true meaning of love.
Mindwalk (1990)	A US politician (Sam Waterston) visits his poet friend (John Heard) in Mont. St. Michael, France. While walking through the medieval island discussing their philosophies of life they happen upon Sonja (Liv Ullman), a scientist in recluse, who joins in their conversation. The two men listen to the ideas of this brilliant woman and discuss how her ideas can work in their own politician and poet lives. Available only on VHS.
What the Bleep Do We Know!? (2004)	"WHAT THE #$*! DO WE KNOW?!" is a radical departure from convention. It demands a freedom of view and greatness of thought so far unknown, indeed, not even dreamed of since Copernicus. It's a documentary. It's a story. It's mind-blowing special effects. This film plunges you into a world where quantum uncertainty is demonstrated - where neurological processes, and perceptual shifts are engaged and lived by its protagonist - where everything is alive, and reality is changed by every thought
What the Bleep!? - Down the Rabbit Hole (2006)	Delving deeper into the relationship between quantum physics and human consciousness, this follow-on to What the Bleep Do We Know!? uses the story of a photographer (Marlee Matlin) in turmoil to frame its thesis -- that biophysics and quantum mechanics confirm long-standing ideas about spiritual self-determination. Animated instruction, dramatic vignettes and talking-head interviews combine for an entertaining examination of the human experience.
Waking Life	From the director of Slacker and Dazed and Confused comes one of the most imaginative animated features ever made. This funny, ingenious film, which Rolling Stone Magazine calls "nothing short of amazing," explores the fascinating question: "Are we sleep-walking through our waking state or wake- walking through our dreams"? Join Wiley Wiggins as he searches for answers to lifes most important questions in a world that may or may not be reality in the "most visually alive movie of the year."
