When watching certain movies and reading certain books I get a strong bodily reaction. I interpret this as an indicator of encountering information that is useful for my development and expansion.

Movies that had most impact:
- Mr nobody
- The fountain
- Man on earth
- K-pax

Books:
- Siddartha - Hesse
- Narcissus and Goldmund (Death and the Lover) - Hesse
- Lady Bovary - Flaubert

I also enjoy Stanislaw Lem's works.

What movies, books do you enjoy?

Did they forget to make that movie? Perhaps they will when they run out of ideas every few years.

Ah here we go from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3001:...inal_Odyssey

There is nothing new posted on the Syfy Channel site.

On November 3, 2014, it was reported that the U.S. cable channel Syfy had ordered a miniseries adaptation of 3001: The Final Odyssey into production for broadcast in 2015. The miniseries will be executive-produced by Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker and Stuart Beattie; the latter will also be the primary script-writer. The estates of both Clarke and 2001: A Space Odyssey director Stanley Kubrick were reported as having "offered their full support", but the extent of their involvement is not known at this time.

I haven't seen Koyaanisqatsi but I recently watch Bakara and it was depressing.

Chris Burgh seems to metaphorically sing about spiritual stuff.

For me, its The Truman Show. I will never forget the impact it had one me. Even though it was 15 years late, I am so glad I saw it. I went into some kind of trance when i watched it.
