1984 - george orwell
Donnie Darko - Film, Truly excellant. Its extremley intresting, from apyscological, religous, philisophical level. An extraordinary film on so many levels.

Hey, the pr0n filter likes hitches but not ****s!

Imagine that! :D

Ravels "Bolero"

[rcs]

"The Butterfly Effect" - Very good.

[Neurotic1]

'The game' is very good for entertainment value.

[Cassandra 8]

'The game' is very good for entertainment value.That's a great film, and completely watchable a second time for rasons that only become apparent after the first watching. :rolleyes:

Well worth it.

Could be getting slightly off track with this one, but: Blair Witch Project?

And who could forget the JEdi's in the Star Wars films - if Jedi mind tricks are not the fantasy of a large number of NLpers then I don't know what is..

Skip,

Ravels "Bolero"

I've loved "Bolero" ever since hearing it played live by the Philadelphia
Orchestra, years ago and own several recordings of it. It's possible
that I love it in part because hearing it may be anchored to feelings
attached to the woman that was my date (and a longtime girlfriend).
No need to collapse that anchor.

Teadaze,

For music and poetry with a "psychological kind of feel," the work of
Leonard Cohen comes to mind. The title song of his latest CD, "Dear
Heather" has an altered state feel to it and his earliest novel, written in
1963, has a teenage character character clandestinely reading a book
on hypnosis. (I'm currently reading it and in the first third of the book
hypnosis is only incidental to the storyline.)

The film "Don Juan DeMarco" is reckoned to be NLP-ish

I can't believe you missed out;

The Matrix and, to a lesser extent, The Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions
("You've been living in a dreamworld neo..." and every other line in these films)

Also;
- Even though I've come to loathe Tarantino's films. -
Kill Bill 1 and 2
("Wiggle your big toe.", "silly rabbit tricks are for kids", Talking to camera, Broken Temporal Order etc.)

[teadaze]

Hey dude! No fair, I got Matrix ages ago...tsk
You get some points for Kill Bill...not many tho =)

I googled and found a Japanese film called 'Hypnosis', it looks crap though......

[Cassandra 8]

A really nice piece of work relying on non-verbal communication is "Belleville Rendezvous". Anyone seen it?

So when the students in Harry Potter "Prisoner of Azkaban" are practicing facing the Boggart, they are actually doing what NLP pattern?

There is a lot of NLP in HP, from time distortion to submodality shifts.

--oops, sorry :)

[pinktrance]

I cant remember the name of the film, but Jack Black is hypnotised into only seeing the good in peole, so he falls in love with this hugely fat woman, but only sees her as beautiful and skinny (gweneth paltroe) Thats it! its called Shallow Hal!!
Its a comedy, very good, very funny!

Skip,

Good point about the Boggart. Also, Harry's conjuring of the Patronus charm, to fight of the Dementors (metaphor for depression?) ring of submodalities.

[Pdrive]

A little off topic, but interesting nonetheless:

I went to a workshop on Shakespearean acting in the weekend. One seminar I looked in on featured mass hypnosis (really obviously, as in close your eyes - relax - vizualise, with post hypnotic suggestion) of the class, anchoring of emotional states, submodality work for accessing those states and intensive training on rapport building (with the audience, and in life in general).

I quizzed the guy afterwards, and it seemed that he had recieved no formal training at all (in NLP). The techniques taught are all drama secrets that have been taught at drama schools for decades (and longer).
Stanislovsky (spelling? - the god father of modern acting/theatre realism) was doing work with submodalities work in 1920.

Pdrive,

Yes, Pdrive, "method acting" was a forerunner of some of what NLP
has coopted and further developed.

The scene in the original "gone in 60 seconds" where our hero crashes into the D9 Bulldozer.

Talk about collapsing anchors!
