Movies of the Mind is a live album from Michael Nesmith. The album documents Nesmith's 2013 2-month tour of the United States.

According to Nesmith, the songs played on the album touched a chronological and thematic history of Nesmith's solo music. He stated, "I picked my favorites to play, the ones I have come to love over the years, and the ones that are most requested by fans of my solo work."

The album was available directly through Nesmith's web site, Videoranch. A Super Deluxe Edition, which featured a vinyl LP record, two CDs, and a signed Certificate of Authenticity, was limited to 200 pressings. Side one of the vinyl LP featured studio recordings of recent Nesmith songs, planned for release on an upcoming album, "Around the Sun". These tracks were previously available for download on Videoranch in MP3 form. Side two of the LP included 2013 live tracks, including Nesmith's first composition, "Papa Gene's Blues", which was featured on the album The Monkees. The Deluxe Edition included two CDs (one signed by Nesmith) with live versions of the songs "Calico Girlfriend" ("Calico Girlfriend Samba"), "Nine Times Blue", "Little Red Rider", "Propinquity", "Some of Shelly's Blues", and "Listen to the Band" were originally recorded with The Monkees (although "Listen to the Band" was the only track of the six to be released, which was on the album The Monkees Present).
