DiscerningCatholic Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Aka the only movies that are worth watching 99.9% of the time! Does anyone have favorites/recommendations? [size=2]I wasn't sure whether or not to put this in the lame board, so I didn't. It would probably get hijacked in the lame board. [size=4]I really like Leonardo Defelippis's movie about St. Therese, as well as the Italian [url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0345624/"]movie[/url] about St. Maria Goretti.

MeteorShower Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Brother Sun, Sister Moon? Sorry DC, Franciscan movie It's kind of weird and hippie-ish, but there are some very beautiful moments I adore the Mother Teresa movie with Olivia Hussey. I seriously just wanted to go to India and become an MC after watching that movie. The trailer always makes me cry too, no matter how many times I watch it. I definitely reccomend this movie, if you haven't seen it already!

Era Might Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 "A Man For All Seasons" with Paul Scofield as St. Thomas More. It was originally a play by Robert Bolt. The acting in the movie is great...that old style acting that you don't see anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slappo Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Miracle Man is about Padre Pio and really good. The Scarlet and the Black - I don't recall if this is about a particular saint, but it is an amazing Catholic movie Ostrov (The Island) is about a Russian Orthodox saint and was very very good ([url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0851577/"]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0851577/[/url]). He reminded me a bit of St. Francis in his "silly saint" ways.
