Spiritual Films

Cinemaseekers.com hosts a provacative honor roll of spiritual films. Their top ten films are as follows:

1. Gospel According to St. Matthew (Director: Pier Paolo Pasolini)
2. "Qatsi" Trilogy - Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, Naqoyqatsi (Godfrey Reggio)
3. Mirror (Andrei Tarkovsky)
4. Au Hasard, Balthazar (Robert Bresson)
5. Stalker (Andrei Tarkovsky)
6. Seventh Seal (Ingmar Bergman)
7. Color of Pomegranates (Sergei Paradjanov)
8. Hail Mary (Jean-Luc Godard)
9. The Seasons (Artavazd Peleshian) short
10. Phantom of Liberty (Luis Bunuel)

The long list doesn't provide any criteria for what counts as a "spiritual film," nor how the titles were ranked. Still, there are enough films that I've seen and enjoyed on the list to make me curious about those I've never heard about.

Making my own list of films that have had a spiritual impact on my life, I would definitely put The Seventh Seal (coming next week to the Lynnwood Theater!) at the top, to be followed in no particular order by the Decalogue series, Winter Light, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Le Samourai, The Third Man, Wings of Desire, Greed, Night of the Hunter, Touch of Evil, and Waking Life.

What would be on your list?
