Interesting film. They had a showing of it at the Palace a couple years back with Phillip Glass's Orchestra playing the music live. Not the most enjoyable piece, but definitely thought-provoking.

There is another one along those same lines called Powaqqatsi, that I have not seen yet, but I suspect it is probably done in a quite similar style.

pianobuck46 pretty much listed my favorite flicks, except for
my earlier post of John Ford's 1945 classic:
They Were Expendable

But here's another great one:

Thanks, Prof! Love that poster, by the way.

Since we're better than half-way to Christmas, I thought of some of my favorite Christmas/"Holiday" movies as well:

1) It's A Wonderful Life (already on my first list, but has to be included here)
2) Miracle On 34th Street (1947 original version--also on first list)
3) The Santa Clause 1 & 2 (think I read where 3 is coming out this year)
4) A Christmas Story (W/Darren McGavin, from the stories of Jean Shepherd)
5) Holiday Inn (Bing Crosby/Fred Astaire)
6) Going My Way (Bing Crosby again)
7) Meet John Doe
8) The Man Who Saved Christmas (The story of AC Gilbert)
9) Christmas With The Kranks (from the John Grisham novel "Skipping Christmas)

'Tis The Season........well, almost!
