 | Off the Map
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $4.65 My favorite movie in the world. An incredible little girl in New Mexico with a cast of misfits. This is what they mean when they talk about creating your own reality. "Are you guys all on mushrooms or something?!"
|
 | Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Special Edition)
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $4.81 Yes, I know, the car!

 | The Golden Compass (New Line Platinum Series Two-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $2.51 Stunning from the first scene to the last, which unfortunately was not the end of the first book at all. Lyra is magnificent - the best of what a girl could be on an out of this world adventure that will leave your head spinning. The Christians don't like this movie, and for good reason. Let's all hope the filmmakers complete the series. If not, we at least have the superb book trilogy.

 | Matilda (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.94 From Roald Dahl's captivating book about a girl who finds her own special power in the midst of great mediocrity. There are so many things right about this movie. A joy from start to finish, with great acting and action. Very satisfying for bibliophiles.
|
 | Practical Magic (Snap Case)
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $3.11 Witches have been with us for ages. Why must they be outcast and hunted? A beautiful film about generations and love and spells. Gets a little Hollywoodish, but it's a small price to pay. "We danced naked under the full moon!"
|
 | The Truman Show (Special Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $2.38 If you can get past Jim Carrey ... who is actually really good in this film about a man who is watched by millions his entire life without knowing it. An amazing look at us and the media we allow to control us. Works on many levels. Very satisfying.
|
 | Amelie
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $9.82 Not so much about changing consciousness as it is about creating your own reality with a will. Amelie is a true gem, shining a ray of hope into an otherwise pathetic world. Highly recommended.
|
 | Proof
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.90 An interesting blend of psychosis and mathematics that will have you wondering what is real until the very end. First done as a play, then made into a very worthy film.
|
 | American Beauty (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $0.43 A movie that turned suburbia upside down in a multitude of ways. Kevin Spacey as the antihero. Crazy stuff here, and all of it so real you can see yourself. "I wanna look good naked!"

 | What the Bleep!? - Down the Rabbit Hole (QUANTUM Three-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $16.95 The mother of all the new age 'create your own reality' films like The Secret and The Voice and such.

|
 | Pleasantville (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $6.49 / Used from: $2.00 Ah, Pleasantville. Leave It To Beaver on acid. Really. If you grew up in the fifties, or if you are descended from people who were alive in the fifties, this will blow your mind. Very very well done, and satisfying for so many reasons. Highly recommended.
|
 | The Celestine Prophecy
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $4.74 A reality-bending adventure in the Americas that you won't soon forget. The scene where he 'gets it' is a direct to film portrayal of a pure psychedelic experience. If this doesn't wake you up, I don't know what will. (well, I do know, but it isn't for sale on Amazon)
|
 | Whale Rider
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $2.09 A poignant reminder that the very things you hold sacred and true may come to life right in front of you. And that your own arrogance and ignorance may be all that's blinding you from seeing what you most need to. Beautiful story of a beautiful Maori girl finding her destiny.
|
 | Renegade (aka Blueberry)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $3.06 The remaking of a man, with help from indigenous peoples, shamans and psychoactive plants. Stunning cinematography and a far out storyline. First saw this one at Burning Man and I've never forgotten it.
|
 | Koyaanisqatsi - Life Out of Balance
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $4.88 The original trippy music video. Philip Glass writes the score, and Godfrey Reggio takes us through the wild lands of the Southwest and then into the insanity of modern man, all with nary a word spoken. Life out of Balance.
|
 | The Fountain (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $2.99 Another time-bending love story, centered around the Tree of Life. Interesting on many levels. What is possible? And what is not?
