Best specifically Buddhist film I think was Scorcese's "Kundun". Didn't really like Berolucci's "Little Buddha".

I really liked Khyentse Norbu Rinpoche's film "The Cup" - about the attempts of a group of boy monks to get a TV into their monastery in India to watch the '92 World Cup - very sweet. It was shown IFC a couple of year's ago.

Of more mainstream "Buddhist-friendly" films I can think of my favourite is "Groundhog Day" with Bill Murray and Andie McDowell - about a man who has to live the same day over and over again until he learns to live an unselfish life.

Interesting take on that film

Perhaps a list of Films and a synopsis might be handy here somewhere for those interested and where to get them.
I'm doubting that there are many in my local Xtravision.
