Good Catholic Movies On Netflix Instant Play


Recommended Posts

Posted

Like I said, Pope Pius XII  is by far one of the best movies that I have found on Netflix Instant, other than The Way and Serenity. The movie is the best rebuttal to all of the accusations against Pius that I have seen over his actions during WWII. The way that it was filmed very much reminded me of Karol: The Man Who Became Pope. Ken Duken played roles in both films. James Cromwell does an excellent job playing the Pope. 

 

 

I thought  There Be Dragons was an awesome one too. 

 

 

There are some great "non-denominational Christian Inspirational" movies on Netflix as well. There are also some pretty horrible ones, so be weary.

Into Great Silence is not about Carmelites, it's about Trappist Monks.

 

Into Great Silence is not about trappists, it's about the carthusians. Trappists are cistercians.

 

 

"Sorry, Netflix is not available in your country yet" :(  But maybe someone can check if The Cardinal is on there, one of my favorite movies. And The Scarlet and the Black. And the Don Camillo movies!

I don't know if this is on Netflix, but I want to see this new movie, about a Pope who runs away after getting elected lol:

It is on Netflix Instant.

 

 

I have seen it, and it wasn't really as awesome as I thought it would be. There were some funny and touching moments, but the end was a bit of a letdown..

I meant Carthusians. I was tired when I wrote that.

Yep. Very good. Interesting parallels to Thomas More (and the movie "A Man for All Seasons" is also available to stream) with the King of England attempting to control the Church in his country by means of appointing a puppet bishop. It's pretty awesome seeing Becket's conversion after he is consecrated.

"For Greater Glory" is also on there. Just watched it for the first time tonight. I
found it to be better than the haters reported, but not as good as the
fanboys liked. A lot of people criticized it for bad acting, but it
seemed just fine to me. Cinematography was good too. It did seem a bit
one-sided and the plot was predictable. But good enough for three stars,
nonetheless.
