No comment yet? Where's the art house crowd? Koyaanisqatsi by far. Has the great images and is well paced, while the second is quite slow.

Powaqqatsi is very interesting, and shows images of a world you might not have known existed, but...Koyaanisqatsi is pure cinematic greatness. Between the storytelling without a story, the hypnotic score of Philip Glass, and the heartbreaking finale, Koyaanisqatsi made me totally rethink how I view film.

As a Philip Glass fan, I like the music on the second a little better and it has some powerfull images, but Koyaanisqatsi takes it, being more solid and organic in its flow ...

Koyaanisqatsi is the best of the trilogy, but Powaqqatsi is excellent as well...I can't say the same about the third one.
