 | Koyaanisqatsi - Life Out of Balance
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.86 The first in the Qatsi trilogy -- films with amazing cinematography, music by Philip Glass, and that's it. Get this, turn out the lights, and crank the volume up high. Especially chilling are the scenes of the World Trade Center followed by the lilting vocals with visuals of planes.
|
 | Powaqqatsi - Life in Transformation
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $2.18 The second in the Qatsi trilogy - this has a theme that has become a very popular Glass piece. When you hear it you're sure to recognize bits and pieces. This is a great view of people and lives from around the world.
|
 | Naqoyqatsi
Buy new: $18.49 / Used from: $7.25 The final in the Qatsi trilogy. Frankly I didn't care for the film nearly as much as the others in the set, but there is some wonderful Glass music.
|
 | Philip Glass - Satyagraha / Davis, Goeke, Harster, Danninger
Buy used from: $64.99 As an avid fan it's hard to admit this, but for the most part I'd rather listen to the early Philip Glass operas than watch them, and Satyagraha is no exception. But this is a very beautiful opera about the life of Ghandi. One of a trilogy of operas that Mr. Glass did of famous, world-changing, remarkable figures in history.

![The Truman Show [Blu-ray]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61jBEf6VCPL._SL75_.jpg) | The Truman Show [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $30.24 I love this film -- not just because Philip Glass did much (not all) of the score, but also for its very deep, existential story. You'll recognize Philip Glass pieces from Mishma and Powaqqatsi in this film.
|
 | Beauty and The Beast - Criterion Collection (Restored Edition)
Buy new: $30.49 / Used from: $21.00 Another great from the innovative Philip Glass. This is the classic story of Beauty and the Beast in the original French. Glass wrote a lovely opera as a replacement soundtrack for the film.
|
 | Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $35.49 / Used from: $24.49 I haven't seen this yet -- but this was another great Philip Glass score.
|
 | Kundun
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.33 This is a wonderful film with a wonderful Glass score about the early life of the Dalai Lama.
|
 | The Illusionist (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $2.75 Wonderful score and a very good film as well.
|
 | The Hours
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.96 Great film. Great score. You'll never think of Virginia Woolf (or Nicole Kidman) the same way again.
|
 | The Thin Blue Line
Buy used from: $5.85 This Errol Morris film with a great Glass score is credited with getting a man released from prison.
|
 | The Fog of War - Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara

![Secret Window [Blu-ray]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ruKspcn3L._SL75_.jpg) | Secret Window [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $10.97 I purchased this because it was scored by Philip Glass, but I still have not seen it.
|
 | Hamburger Hill (20th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $3.54 War films are so very NOT my kind of film, but there's some Philip Glass in the score so here it is on my list.
|
 | Candyman
Buy used from: $2.08 I seem to recall reading somewhere that this ended up not at all being the film that he expected -- but yes, this film has a Philip Glass score.
|
 | Glass: Akhnaten
Buy used from: $12.97 Ok, so this isn't a film... but I HAD to add Ahkhnaten to the list as this is my very favorite from Glass. An opera about the father of monotheism...
|
 | Glass: Einstein on the Beach (1993 Recording) by Robert Wilson
Buy new: $39.49 / Used from: $31.50 Another one that had to be here... This was Glass' first major work, and the one that is referred to when people reference Glass by saying "One Two Three Four..." etc.

Listmania!
