It doesn't necessarily have to be about Buddhism specifically, but just have some kind of Buddhist message. The film Grand Canyon with Danny Glover is a good example.
Thanks!

Can anyone recommend any good modern movies about Buddhism or which have some kind of Buddhist theme or message? I'd like there to be more than just The Little Buddha and Seven Years in Tibet!

Through many of samsara’s births I hasten seeking, finding not the builder of this house - pain is birth again, again.
O builder of this house you’re seen, you shall not build a house again, all your beams have given away, rafters of the ridge decayed, mind to the unconditioned gone, exhaustion of craving has it reached.
