Transcendental Movies: Our Top 9 List

by: Paul Kaihla, 30. Nov, 2007 7 Comments Print This Post Print This Post

Introducing the highly-experiential, officially-unscientific Soul's Code list of the most transcendental movies in recent cinema history, starting with the Tom Hanks vehicle, Cast Away (in ascending order). Almost all of these titles share a theme of personal transformation and identity-morphing resurrection.

We love using pop culture rankings and hierarchies to start conversations about everything from The Sopranos to the best resorts for blissing out and escaping the trappings of one's own mind.

Here's our cinematic equivalent of transporting yourself out of mental noise -- and into an expansive state.

If you need suggestions, Spiritual Cinema Circle probably has the biggest database of titles; Ya, it’s subscription but this Netflix for movies with psychological and mystical themes does offer a “free” trial.

No. 9: Cast Away
