Well there aren't really any vegan movies or films. There's a short called Vegan Love, but most filming done about veganism is for documentaries. The Animals Film was an eighties British documentary with music by Robert Wyatt and Talking Heads with narration by Julie Christie. The format was emulated more recently with Earthlings, this time Moby provided the soundtrack with Joaquin Phoenix narrating - both incidentally are vegans and animal rights activists. Earthlings has proved quite successful in converting people to veganism because, like Cowspiracy, it clearly shows the problems with the dairy industry and cow factories. Cowspiracy exposes the environmental disaster that is the dairy/meat industry. Behind the Mask is about the Animal Liberation Front (A.L.F.) and documents their pro-active approach of liberating caged animals and confronting companies that carry our vivisection.
The last four films listed below are to do with the correlation between what you eat and health.... they are not all specifically vegan and are also shown on the Food as Medicine page.
The Game Changers (2018) Presented by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Lewis Hamilton, Novak Djokovic and Chris Paul — a revolutionary new film about meat, protein and strength.
What the Health (2017) a film about healthy eating from the makers of Cowspiracy. The film addresses the health problems caused, mainly, by the standard American diet (SAD) and how the distinctions between the food and drug industry are becoming less transparent and more open to abuse. It includes statements from many independent doctors and nutritionists.
Food Choices (2016)
Food Choices covers everything you could possibly wonder about veganism. It covers the health aspect, the environmental impacts that animal agriculture has on the earth, and the cruelty that animals have to endure just for people to eat them. It also covers topics such as vegan athletes, vegan kids, and much more. The filmmaker is Michal Siewierski.
The Animals Film
"I do not know when I have been so moved by the power of the cinema as a medium to transform the entire sensibility of an audience." - The Sunday Times (UK)
Help the important campaigns of animal rights organisations. There are dozens easily found on the internet. Some groups emphasize the goal of abolishing the exploitation of animals, especially for food and science, while other groups tend to press for 'humane' animal exploitation, (arguably a contradiction in terms). The differences of approach extend to all human uses of nonhuman animals. It's important you judge for yourself whose strategy for change you wish to support.
Earthlings (2005)
"Of all the films I have ever made, this is the one that gets people talking the most". - Joaquin Phoenix. With Earthlings you can legally watch it online for free on vimeo. It may be prudent to say that their are graphic scenes of what can only be described as animal abuse, torture and killing. It is little wonder that so many viewers who see these atrocities become vegan.

Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead (2010)
100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and the end of his hope. In the mirror he saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn’t end well-- with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn’t far behind.
