Best remembered for its spacy, intriguing Stevie Wonder soundtrack, the 1979 documentary The Secret Life of Plants explores the possibility that plants may be sentient life forms.
Based on Peter Thompkins and Christopher Bird’s 1973 book of the same title, Secret Life contains a great deal of amazing time-lapse photography of plants growing and metamorphosing. The documentary is not currently on DVD as far as I can tell, but the whole thing is embedded above. Thank you, internet!

Last one to make a marijuana joke’s a rotten egg!
That movie was amazing! Thx for posting. I can’t wait to sit against a tree with the sun in my face and the vibes on my spine.
