What the Bleep Do We Know!? (also written What the #$*! Do We Know!?) is a controversial 2004 film that combines documentary interviews and a fictional narrative to posit a connection between science and spirituality based upon the teachings of JZ Knight/Ramtha, of whom the three directors are devotees.[1] There is also an extended 2006 version, What the Bleep!?: Down the Rabbit Hole.[2]

It's a good start. For more info, watch the movie, then read some of the books written by the people who speak throughout the movie. I've seen the movie several times and read two of the books by Dr. Amit Goswami, one of the physicists in the movie. One was called "The Self-Aware Universe". The other, I don't recall the title off the top of my head, but it was along similar lines.
Some other books: God on Your Own, by Joseph Dispenza, and Before You Think Another Thought by Bruce Doyle.
There is also a What the Bleep website where you can find other interesting material on the subject. I believe it is whatthebleep.com, though I'm not 100% sure about the .com suffix, it may be .org

That the mysteries of quantum physics are misinterpreted to justify some new age ideas is bad enough. That the film makers use their techniques to make it seem as if these ideas are accepted fact crosses the line from simple mistake into lies.
"David Albert, a philosopher of physics at Columbia University, is outraged at the final product. He says that he spent four hours patiently explaining to the filmmakers why quantum mechanics has nothing to do with consciousness or spirituality, only to see his statements edited and cut to the point where it appears as though he and the spirit warrior are speaking with one voice"

Over all, I liked it. But I thought the first half of the film was misleading. Some of it, especially with the editing and treating all of the speakers as equals in all matters, seemed to really blur the line between science and philosophy. Not to say one can't inspire the other, but you have to be careful not to completely treat one as the other.

This is an excellent movie. It does make great connections between physics and meta-physics. It will spur lots of thought on the subject, which is always a good thing.
Enjoy! You're in for a treat!

Good facts, way more opinions and philosophy though. Not believed by all by a lot of the things they say are definately brain teasers. A good movie since not many movies make you think/teach you anything but this one will.

It's a dramatic representation of the physical laws of the universe as well as the chemical functions of emotions. It's corny, but interesting and understandable.

It'll make you think alright. Be prepared for lots and lots of thinking. It's a very good movie though.
