willguy Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Can anyone recommend some acceptable movies geared toward an adult audience? I heard about some film called The Passion of the Christ. I dunno, it didn't make a lot of news, so I'm not sure if people have heard of it or not... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thy Geekdom Come Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 [quote]The Scarlet and the Black ~true story of a vatican priest who rescued Jews and allied soldiers in WWII[/quote] I almost forgot!!! [quote]Evidently, it's not a sin to watch a movie with objectionable material, even though we don't condone that material. Why isn't it a sin? Can someone help me? I'm really having a problem here![/quote] My best guess would be that there are going to be movies with objectionable material, but that the overall theme of the movie may prevail in a good and moral way. For instance, there is a LOT of violence in certain war movies, but those movies' intentions may be to show just how violent and bad war really is.
