Films of metaphysical substance
Personal manifestos
- Stalker (by Andrei Tarkovsky) explains the role of miracles.
- Solaris (by Andrei Tarkovsky) proves the shape of any possible relation between God and man.
- Zardoz (by John Boorman) proves the preliminariness of the human form.
- Die unendliche Geschichte (by Michael Ende) proves man's dependency on the fulness of his mental tradition.
- Logan's Run (by William F. Nolan) proves that the existence of a generation of man is not an end in itself. Seemingly the opposite of Zardoz, but in truth its little brother.
- Magnum, P.I.: Fragments (by Donald P. Bellisario) on the nature and different types of premonition and revelation in particular.
- The Emerald Forest (by John Boorman) on the essential (as opposed to the beautiful and the powerful)
- The New World (by Terrence Malick) on the contrast between the age of miracles and the age of works.
- Dune (by David Lynch) as a reminder of the other world.
- Blade Runner (by Ridley Scott) as a reminder of conscious existence.
