The title refers to the mathematical constant π (pi).[nb 1]

The thirteenth floor (1999) The Thirteenth Floor is a 1999 science fiction film directed by Josef Rusnak and loosely based upon Simulacron-3 (1964), a novel by Daniel F. Galouye, and Welt am Draht (1973) (World on a Wire), a German two-part television film by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. The featured players are Craig Bierko, Gretchen Mol, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Dennis Haysbert. In 2000, The Thirteenth Floor was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film, but The Matrix won the award.

Network (1976) Network is a 1976 American satirical film released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer about a fictional television network, Union Broadcasting System (UBS), and its struggle with poor ratings. The film was written by Paddy Chayefsky and directed by Sidney Lumet, and stars Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch and Robert Duvall and features Wesley Addy, Ned Beatty, and Beatrice Straight.

Check out Werner Herzog documentaries aswell like Encounters at the End of the World; Encounters at the End of the World is a documentary film by Werner Herzog completed in 2007. The film studies people and places in Antarctica. The film was released in North America on June 11, 2008, and distributed by THINKFilm.[2]

Alphaville (1965) Alphaville: Une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution (Alphaville: A Strange Adventure of Lemmy Caution) is a 1965 black-and-white French science fiction film directed by Jean-Luc Godard. It stars Eddie Constantine, Anna Karina, Howard Vernon and Akim Tamiroff. The film won the Golden Bear award of the 15th Berlin International Film Festival in 1965.[1][2]

Alphaville combines the genres of dystopian science fiction and film noir. Although set far in the future on another planet, there are no special effects or elaborate sets; instead, the film was shot in real locations in Paris, the night-time streets of the capital becoming the streets of Alphaville, while modernist glass and concrete buildings represent the city's interiors. In addition, the characters refer to twentieth century events; for example, the hero describes himself as a Guadalcanal veteran.

Expatriate American actor Eddie Constantine plays Lemmy Caution, a trenchcoat-wearing secret agent. Constantine had already played this or similar roles in dozens of previous films; the character was originally created by British pulp novelist Peter Cheyney. However, in Alphaville, director Jean-Luc Godard moves Caution away from his usual twentieth century setting, and places him in a futuristic sci-fi dystopia, the technocratic dictatorship of Alphaville.

Perfume: The story of a Murderer :)

Theres alot i can say about this film, but i simply state for now that its a very well put together view of purpose and reflection through a unique plot.

Edit: also has a great scene in which our chakras are brought up in allegory. See if you can tell which one. ;)

The movie that started me off on my search
was and still is "Meetings With Remarkable Men", directed by Peter Brooks, about the early life of
G.I.Gurdjieff. Made in 1978, it looks old fashioned in part, but much was filmed on location in pre-war Afghanistan
which makes it precious. Here is a clip:

Dreamcatcher - possibly one of the best alien films to slip through the net.


Birth - a very real and emotional film about reincarnation. Also starring Nicole Kidman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OfjZ5Msdb8&feature=related

Always - When you bring John goodman and Richard Dreyfuss into a romantic film about spirit guides, you know you will need two things. A box of tissues and some incontinence pants.
Don't miss Always, it will drain you and fill you up again.

This is a truly excellent film!
As soon as i saw it, i ordered it online just to have it.
Starring Dustin Hoffman.
I would describe it as a journey into the senses unravelling the layers of society.
This film is 3 times better than you think it will be.

Twelve monkeys - very good with a six pack and an open mind.

I love that film Ulli.

Thank you for posting that clip. :cool2:

I have been a reader of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky for many years.

They changed my view of the world.

They were the first group to understand that humanity was asleep.

For the viewers of the clip. The guy in the middle dancing around represents humanity that is asleep, or moving at the whim of the myriad of Is which are part of all unconditioned minds. Under the control of uncontrolled thought. the sleepers move as if hypnotised.
