Francis and Clare? I thought it was good, and although the majority was about St. Francis, they had a good deal of St. Clare in there. Good nun movie. Two thumbs way, way up!

Abominable movie. Any movie that has St. Francis and St. Clare flirting with each other is a joke.

Nope, though I think my sister met Uruviel once at a retreat at the convent. They didn't know that at the time, though. Uruviel figured it out later, when she saw pics of my sister on FB.

I looked around for some movies for you, but I found nun.


(Sorry about the bad pun...I guess you could call it a [u]habit[/u].)









(Was that apology thinly [u]veiled[/u]?)










(I have a hard time [u]discerning[/u] where to stop with my jokes.)






(Ok, I'm done. Here's my vow to you, no more nun puns.







Before I go, do you want some of my new fat-free candy? They're Caramel-lites.)

A lot of the ones that I was going to say have already been suggested.[/quote]
Same here. Personally, my favorite "nun" movie is [url="http://www.amazon.com/St-Teresa-Andes-Pauline-Urritia/dp/B002LDAC5W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1275348547&sr=1-1"][i]Teresa de Los Andes[/i][/url] (though I'm very disappointed with the new subtitles from Ignatius Press .. I thought the old ones were bad, but these are even worse! so many typos and bad translations! still, I'm glad it came out again, I just hope someday they'll redo them) But really, as nunsense said, it would be way too long .. it's like 7 hours.

However, I haven't seen anyone mention [url="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000WR8QFC/decentfilms-20"][i]Miracle of St. Therese[/i][/url] yet. I have it but haven't gotten around to watching it yet. But I've heard it's really good actually, and much better than the new one on her. Steven Greydanus gave it an A+ (while[i] Therese[/i] got a B and [i]Therese[/i] from 1986, though I've heard it's strange, got a B+)

But here's one that I thought of:

[url="http://www.catholicfreeshipping.com/Products/cfs_laapdvapofdi.html"]The Last Appeal, St. Faustina: the Apostle of Divine Mercy[/url][/quote]
Neat, I'd never heard of this one! Thank you!

I have seen this one [url="http://www.amazon.com/Faustina-Dorota-Segda/dp/B00013D4F4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1275349186&sr=8-2"][i]Faustina[/i][/url] though. I don't think anyone has mentioned it. It was pretty good. It's been a few years since I've seen it, so I can't remember it all that well. I remember it was pretty serious though. There are some clips of it on youtube .. oh and it's in Polish with English subtitles ..

So, I didn't really like Therese, and I wouldn't watch it, personally...heh.

If you like opera at all, there's Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmelites (Dialogues des carmélites), which is not a happy story per se--it ends with nuns going to the scaffold during religious persecutions of the French Revolution. (It's okay that I "ruin the ending" because you really should know what's going on in an opera before you watch it.) I actually haven't seen the whole thing, just some bits and pieces, but the music is gorgeous, though slightly more modern than one might be used to, and the story is inspiring. There should be DVD recordings of it that you could find.

Suor Angelica is another opera about nuns (this time by Puccini), but I think it's where a disgraced pregnant girl goes and joins a convent, or something...probably not so uplifting.

Thanks for the heads up, zunshynn! I was tempted to buy that film just so I could see it.

All I can say is, thank you for saving me a good chunk of money! I'm glad I didn't buy it.

My university's vocal department performed [i]Suor Angelica[/i] my freshman year -- I got to play the little piccolo "bird" call during one of the early scenes. Hehehe.

Then last year while living in Brooklyn, I played the bird part for another opera company and sang as a "choir nun". It was pretty fun. Beautiful libretto!

Though, like you said, not very uplifting. I can only hope that she had true contrition before she finally died, begging help from Our Lady.... that part is heart-wrenching. [i]Saaaalva me! Saaaaalva me![/i]
