Top Catholic Movies List

For the past two summers, I have engaged the youth and families of my parish in a series of movies that I call The Catholic Classics.  However, since I am a convert and I am much more knowledgeable about secular smut, I am running out of ideas for such a series.

That's where the expertise of the Catholic intelligentsia will be useful.  In the comment box or via email, please list some movies that are about the Church, deal with Church issues, or have a distinct Catholic presence.

Once the list is compiled, I'll share it with the world!  I look forward to your input.

Hat tip to The Lapped Catholic for the idea.

God bless!

    Derek,
    I can’t think of many movies with a strong Catholic presence, but here is a shot at it:
    Bells of St. Mary’s
    Sister Act
    This is terrible that’s all I can come up with and Sister Act is a stretch.

    Hi,
    Here are some other movies with a strong Catholic presence:
    1. The Nativity
    2. The Brides of Christ (produced and filmed in Australia)
    3. The Good Pope (a story about Pope John XXIII)
    4. Brother Sun and Sister Moon (Life of St. Francis of Assissi)

    There are many videos about the lives of saints. I just can’t remember them now.

    All the best and God bless,
    Sr Joan
