Ave Maria.

I am not entirely sure if such a thread exists, but I thought it would be nice if everyone could post their favorite Catholic movies/documentaries for inspiring vocations. If you can, please also include a link/picture, like this;


Title: Scarlet and the Black

Laudem Gloriae
Sorry, no links or pictures but then these movies are well-known:

"Passion of the Christ"

"Miracle of St. Therese" - 1950's black and white French movie - the best movie on St. Therese

"St. Teresa of Avila" also known as "Teresa of Jesus" - now on DVD shown on EWTN

"Teresa of the Andes" - shown on EWTN

"In This House of Brede" - helped me when I was young and still love it

"The Nun's Story" - helped me as a kid too, but didn't like when she left!

"Francis" - Italian movie, fairly new

"St. Anthony" - Italian movie, fairly new

"St. Clare of Assisi" and "The Poor Clares" - on one DVD - not a movie but an excellent Italian documentary

"Francis of Assisi" - old 1960's? movie with Bradford Dillman and Dolores Hart

"Berndette" - not sure of the name?, the old b&w movie with Jennifer Jones

"The Bells of St. Mary's" - and wasn't there another one?

Our new youth minister's wife is the girl who played Therese. She teaches at the high school I used to go to.

I watched Song of Bernadette on my computer, having rented it from Netflix, the other day. What a wonderful movie! The book is one of my favorites also.

The Passion of Bernadette. This helped re-wake my vocation: seeing that inside the convent, a girl might absent-mindedly sing a folk song while she was mopping the floor, and that a nun could still be catty--basically, that nuns are also human. I know another girl too who said this movie affected her a lot.
