Meetings with Remarkable Men (1979)
a rare film about an important religious figure
It is unusual to even see a film being made about this kind of subject matter. Gurdjieff is an important figure in the history of religion, and this film is interesting in that it not only has a performance by Terrance Stamp in it, but also the fact that the Sufi dancing in it is authentic, as far as I am aware. Also, as far as I am aware, this is the only time that anyone in the outside world has ever been allowed to observe this form of sacred dance that the Sufis have been using for thousands of years. Additionally, the meetings that he has with some of the individuals who are spiritually advanced are handled intelligently and realistically. A must for anyone on the spiritual path.
Vanilla Sky (2001)
this is the best movie I have seen since the "Matrix"
this movie actually had some surprises in it that I could not forsee...I think Cruise's acting performance is almost explosive at times, very exciting...I also think Diaz did very well...she is starting to shop some top-class talent
