Rising_Suns Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) 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; [b]Title:[/b] Scarlet and the Black [b]Link:[/b] [url="http://www.amazon.com/Scarlet-Black-Gregory-Peck/dp/B00008J2PG/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1217136227&sr=8-1"]www.amazon.com/Scarlet-Black...[/url] [img]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/510QMNPWJWL._SL500_AA240_.jpg[/img] Blessings.

Laudem Gloriae Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 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? "Into Great Silence" - documentary "Edith Stein" - not sure of the movie, German made I believe, EWTN has shown at times, also on DVD "Mother Teresa" - various movies - one with Olivia Hussey and Geraldine ??somebody, forgot her name! "The Real Presence of St. Therese" - documentary "St. Therese of the Infant Jesus - An Echo of the Heart of God" - documentary Ok, enough for now!
Fr. Antony Maria OSB Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Scarlet and the Black is a really good movie! I'd have to say my favorite, though, is [url="http://www.usccb.org/vocations/"]Fishers of Men[/url] (down at bottom)

It was pretty good.
tinytherese Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Therese St. Ignatius of Loyola (Just Showed on EWTN on the 26th) I've heard that the Flowers of St. Francis is excelent. The Trouble With Angels (If You're Up for a Comedy) Witness to Hope (Documentary on the Life of Pope John Paul II) Peter and Paul Completely Christ's on EWTN This isn't a movie but I know of a tv show on EWTN called Answering the Master's Call.

marysfriend Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 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.

Thomist-in-Training Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 [b]The Passion of Bernadette[/b]. 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.
