Carmeliteheart726 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) I don't know if I know 10 good Catholic movies, but here are some of my favorites: The Nativity Story (I cry every time Jesus is born!) Passion of the Christ (I HATE the scourging and crucifixion scenes, but I think that's the point) Therese (the Leonardo DiFilippis version; yeah, I know it's cheesy, but it's good!) Padre Pio: Miracle Man (cried several times in this movie) Mary, Mother of Jesus (Christian Bale played Jesus; TV version, I think) It's a Wonderful Life (It's not exclusively Catholic, but it's on the Vatican Top 45 list) Maria Goretti (pretty good, though cheesy at times) And if I want a really good, scary Catholic movie, I would go for: The Exorcism of Emily Rose (super SCARY! I got goosebumps the first few times I watched it) I am a member of Pius Media's rental program (like a Catholic "Netflix"), and I've been renting some movies, but only "Maria Goretti" was good so far. I'm renting these, and waiting on them: Clare and Francis Reluctant Saint Francis of Assisi St. Francis Karol: The Man Who Became Pope Jesus of Nazareth (looks good) BTW, I would NOT recommend these movies (BORING!): John of the Cross --(Leonardo DiFilippis played every main male character and his wife played every main female character; it was horrible to see Leo playing two characters in 1 scene! I felt like I was watching a version of Eddie Murphy's "Nutty Professor", LOL) Teresa of Avila --(I tried watching episode 1 last night, and I fell asleep. Talk about a good nap movie) Edited November 29, 2008 by Carmeliteheart726 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socrates Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 The Passion of the Christ (of course) The Exorcist A Man for All Seasons (both versions) On the Waterfront El Cid Braveheart The Song of Bernadette Blackrobe Return to Me (for the chicks) Gran Turino (good Catholic themes - watch it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virginiancatholic Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 These are in no particular order The Song of Bernadette I Confess The Human Experience The Keys of the Kingdom (a good priest in everyday life) High Noon (with Gary Cooper...a man who gives up everything to do what's right even though no one is backing him up) Batman (seriously, talk about not compromising morals) St. John Bosco (with Ben Garrazza, Italian) La Vita e Bella (Life is Beautiful) Yours, Mine, and Ours (the older one with Lucille Ball and Fonda) The Scarlet and the Black The Passion is in there too, but I can't watch that often. Definitely not impressed with Bernadtte, Therese, Sister Act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldbug16 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I Confess St. John Bosco (the new Italian one) La Vita e Bella (Life is Beautiful) The Scarlet and the Black Into Great Silence Babette's Feast But seriously, there are soooo many great movies out ther that aren't outspokenly Catholic, but they have great questions on morality, suffering and such, for instance Batman 1 and 2, Gladiator, The Lord of the Rings, Cinderella Man, and so on.

DemonSlayer Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I'd also add Gran Torino to the list I probably posted a while ago, it definitely had a Catholic theme and a great film overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwingert72 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Oh, I whole heartedly disagree with The Last Temptation of Christ (Heretical - anit-Christ) Da Vinci Code (Gnosticism Rampant - Anti-Catholic - Bad, bad, bad history! Major errors!) The Golden Compass (Anti-God, Anti-Catholic, Anti-Faith) (Their all holywood attempts to attack the faith and the true existance of God and the Divinity of Christ.) Just had to put that in ok! The envangelist inside me made me do it, I sware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
