Cinema Seekers: 400 Greatest Films of Art and Spirituality

Add to my lists | Print this list

Cinemaseekers.com is a website long familiar to many film buffs. It is a site dedicated primarily to spirituality, and is run by a man and a woman who are heavily influenced by Oskar Ernst Bernhardt (aka Abd-ru-shin), a sort of Grailist theosopher from what I can gather. But whatever the inspiration, their list of "100 Years of Art Cinema from a Spiritual Perspective," as they call it, is well worth perusing, if not pursuing. Cineastes may prefer it to other lists of spirituality in film. While there isn’t a lot of Eastern spirituality here, the listmakers seem non-denominational and non-dogmatic, and on the whole the list’s implicit definition of spirituality might be said to be more cerebral, truly ecumenical in the broadest sense, and perhaps closer to philosophy than to religion.
