Basilisa Marie Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 This is an oldie and Danish, but I really really enjoyed "Babette's Feast." It's subtitled, but has a wonderful message about service. Babette is a Catholic Frenchwoman fleeing persecution, and ends up cooking and keeping house for two elderly sisters. The sisters are keeping up a congregation of very strict, austere Protestants founded by their father. But they eventually let Babette prepare a meal celebrating their father's would-be 100th birthday, and everyone's pretty surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they took penance and poverty to a scrupulous extreme. Edited July 2, 2011 by JoyfulLife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah147 Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) The Body with Antonio Banderas (TV-14. This is a secular movie about Religion. A Religious friend thought it was a great movie. I on the other hand found it a little shaky, but others may like it. It had a little swearing and a Priest getting a little close with a woman.)
