Chuck Workman made "Precious Images" for the fiftieth anniversary of the Directors Guild. The Academy Award-winning documentary uses a similar approach as "Koyaanisqatsi", consisting mainly of footage (although here we get some dialogue). In this case, it's scenes from some of the most famous movies.

I saw the 1996 version, so they had added scenes from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", "Thelma and Louise" and "Philadelphia". One could make the argument that simply showing off movie scenes amounts to glamorization of the stars, but I like seeing all these shots. Of course, I would never include any scenes of John Wayne (who endorsed white supremacy in a Playboy interview) or Tom Cruise (the number one Scientologist).
