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

"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

"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

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.
