Was trying to remember the name of this one.

The Mission is a classic, beautifully made film with a great soundtrack that tackles how we stand up to evil. Two recent stand-outs were "The Way" and "Sophie Scholl - The Final Days", not explicitly Christian, but with strong spiritual and moral themes.

The Left Behind movies are unintentionally the funniest Christian movies I've ever seen, available on YouTube if you want to see what millions of Americans and others around the world believe is imminent.

I rented one of them years ago on video by mistake. The blurb on the back said something about the world some time in the future, mysterious dissappearnces....sure I'll give it a go, sez I.

Even Almighty couldnt live up to it though

You might try "The last exorcism". Quite good, and unusual, in that they actually have a protestant casting out the divil for a change.

The life of Brian.

I might have gotten the wrong end of the stick, but what about 'The Magdalene Sisters'?

I have to admit I loved the life of Brian.
It still cracks me up,so does Fr Ted.

I live 5 min from Fr Teds house in Kilnaboy, and every time I pass the house I still have an image of Sister Fidelma was it, giving out punishment to the priests from Rugged Island.
Kicking one of them in the n*ts.

Fr Ted was a tv series so it's not a movie really.

Worthy of an honourable mention though, none the less. What about when he kicked Bishop Len up the arse, and then Dougal got the massive photo. Classic.

No you haven't the wrong end of the stick,The Magdalene Sisters is a true story.

Song for a raggy boy, was another movie which brought out a lot of emotional stuff for me.

I actually cried watching that movie those poor kids,and I think that was a true story.

I just couldn't comprehend how that was going on.

"Of Gods and Men"

Manach

The Mission,
Song of Bernadette,
Lord of the Rings (Tolkein mentioned this had Catholic Christian themes, well it does have plenty of beer in it.)

Bonita810

Exorcism of Emily Rose

and Faraon that was a cartoon ;P

Of Gods and Men
Lourdes - The Austrian film set in Lourdes circ 2008-2010 about a group of pilgrims going to lourdes - brilliant
The Island - a russian film, not sure of the russian name again around 2009 I think
No Greater Love -
Priest - this is going back a bit and there are a few films with this title, its the one set in Scotland, where a priest is told something in Confession and the conflict this brings up for him. It also deals with his homosexuality.

Clockwork Owl

On the flip-side of this, I'd suggest giving 'Suing the Devil' the widest possible berth.

'Suing the Devil' was probably the single worst film I have ever watched in my life, its only saving grace being the funny moments... most (if not all) of which were unintentional. The fact that it was marketed as a 'legal thriller / courtroom drama' should have been liable under the Trade Description Act. Never before have I seen such strained, miserable script-writing and awkwardly forced storyline development, Fifty Shades of Grey aside. I'd struggle to put that much ham and cheese in my spaghetti carbonara, and that's saying something.

Ahem. S'just a tip.

The Ten Commandments (Heston)
The Black Robe
Ben Hur (Heston)
The Passion - It is very difficult to watch. I don't know if I ever will again.
