movies dealing with obe/lucid dreaming/metaphysics

[sublime]

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any good movies that deal with subjects we are all interested in. the only ones that come close that i can think of are Donnie Darko and Waking Life. Two of my favorite movies. Any others?

Suspect 0 is about remote viewing.

What the bonk do we know? goes without saying.

"What Dreams May Come" had me in a heap on the floor - I loved it.

Another one that totally had me mesmorised was 'Solaris'.  I know the original is a Russian film, but I only saw the American version (which I thought was good - surprisingly for me as I find American films [sorry, movies] too sentimental/ridiculous.  I'd love to see the original Russian version.

I saw it after I'd experienced quite a few OBEs, and it just captivated me - what else can I say?

It's a slow film, not much action, more dealing with the mind.  My kind of film really.  The ending was just awesome, and reminded me of "choosing your own reality".  I can't be doing with all that zap, power, shoot stuff that seems to come out of America on a daily basis.  I much prefer a film that makes me think.  I like British films best    

I wonder why?  

Although one film I particularly like was a film called 'Cube', which I think was Canadian.  But now I'm meandering and going off topic, so I'll stop.

runlola - The Serpent and the Rainbow - now that was a great film!!!

Completely blew me away when I saw it.

So too did Angel Heart.  Loved Louis Cypher.  Brilliant!

Have you seen this one (Waking Life)? It's out on dvd. A guy experiences what looks very much like a projection he can't get out of.

The other movie is "Just Like Heaven." Reese Witherspoon plays a woman who is obviously in a very intense projection, once you find out what her situation is. Is she dead? Is she alive? check out the movie. It's playing now (9/22/05). Projection is the only way to explain her character's condition in the movie. Check it out, you'll see what I mean.

Try fire starter. Great movie G.C. Scot Drew Barrymore at 12 yrs, I enjoyed it. Love does it again.

Dreamscape was very real. Recently I have been having some pretty amazing experiences accessing peoples dreams.

A couple of others that came to mind are: Ghost, Defending Your Life and (in a karmic do it till you get it right sense) Groundhog Day.

Nick, I like your tastes in movie, however when I first read this post, I had never heard of Defending Your Life thinking I may want to see it soon since you put it before Groundhog Day which is obviously one of the few modern day classics out there. Even though I had some minor urges to see it eventually, I didn't think I'd ever get a chance to.

However, last night the TV was accidentally left on an odd channel (Cineplex of all things). I remember seeing a guy driving a car and when I started paying attention to it, he was fidgeting around in the passenger floorboard for something, and like a good movie cliche a bus is coming the other way, but he didn't swerve like you'd expect him to and then the next scene with him being wheeled down the hallway with all the old people. At this point, I was mildly interested, and then a few minutes later after figuring out what was going on I was glued.

This has to be one of the most well written screenplays ever, even better than Groundhog Day, since it's more true to the concept of a movie (I felt like GhD ended a bit wierd but I'm not sure how I would fix it either).

I won't go into any great detail about what the movie involves, and I don't suggest that you read anything into it, hell don't even pay attention to the writing on the box, and please avoid any movie review site until you watch it once. Just go get the movie, put it in the media player you chose (I'm going to go find a copy in the cheap bin if possible), and push play.

What this movie has: An interpretation of the life/death process, and a good concept of fear.
What I can contribute to it: A perfect rating <3. This movie has a lot of replay value for me as well, so it will waste another 112 mins of my life at some point in the future.
Why you should watch it: As an astralpulse member, you probably are interested in interpretations of life as we know it. I suspect any non-fundy will love this movie, well unless a movie needs explosions that is. No it has no explosions.
