Gabriela Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 :notworthy: I would die happy if I met Leonardo Defilipis. I have to say, I did not like this guy's movies. But maybe if he did one on St. Francis de Sales, I would. I doubt it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I tried to watch The Way. I was honestly bored and turned it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Into Great Silence is a great movie. I want to see the one about the Carmelite Nuns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groo the Wanderer Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 take it as an example. have a Great Silence please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Little Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Are there any??? I can only stream, not order DVDs... :-( John of the Cross, I think theres a movie about Father Damien, the priest who ministered in the leper colony. There are movies about St. Teresa but I think those might only come on DVD. I have one called Therese and it is very good. There is a movie about Ignatius and there are others but off hand I can't think of them. Into Great Silence is a great movie. I want to see the one about the Carmelite Nuns. I will have to look for that one. Haven't come across that yet. take it as an example. have a Great Silence please Great Silence is good. Lol, his St. Luke Productions does really awesome one person plays. I think I remember him doing St. Francis of Assisi at my parish one year. Well, next time you're in the Archdiocese of Portland, OR, I'll try to introduce ya. Anywho. Yeah. Catholics live in a very, very small world. :) Also try searching for The Bells of St. Mary's. I think that one's on Instant. Just try searching the titles of any classic movies, those tend to be on instant. one of those one person plays about St. Francis is available for instant streaming.

the171 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Defilipis is better as a stage actor. Movies aren't his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Defilipis is better as a stage actor. Movies aren't his place. Heresy. Also, the population obviously does not agree with this, because they gave Therese a perfect five stars on Netflix, and John of the Cross has four and a half or five, I can't remember.

Gabriela Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Defilipis is better as a stage actor. Movies aren't his place. Wholeheartedly agree. I really didn't enjoy those films. I did, however, see "Jeff, Who Lives at Home" recently, and LOVED it. Of course, it's not Catholic. Heresy. Also, the population obviously does not agree with this, because they gave Therese a perfect five stars on Netflix, and John of the Cross has four and a half or five, I can't remember. This is probably just the result of pre-existing bias in people who love anything about Carmelites. It impairs their ability to critically evaluate aesthetic value. Those movies were bad. (I will say, however, that I did cry in some places in Therese. But that was a product of the story itself, not its artless depiction. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i<3franciscans Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Two wonderful ones are Therese and John of the Cross, both available for instant stream. They are both excellent and done by Leonardo Defilipis. The Passion of the Christ is also on there, and though it isn't Catholic and has a Protestant-ism here or there, Fireproof is also on instant stream and it's a movie I really enjoy. I had a hard time watching John of the Cross... I didn't really care for the acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I had a hard time watching John of the Cross... I didn't really care for the acting. John of the Cross is not as good as Therese, I will admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
