Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance is a 1982 film directed by Godfrey Reggio with music composed by minimalist composer Philip Glass and cinematography by Ron Fricke.

The film took about six years to make. Three years were spent shooting the film. Glass and Reggio spent an additional three years in a state of collaboration, with Glass composing score to fit the film and Reggio re-cutting the footage to fit the score. (More info on Wikipedia).

I’ve attempted to watch this film twice while flying and have yet to make it all the way through without falling asleep, but it is pretty fantastic so far.
