Let me put it this way... while some will still see it as a 'Christian movie', it's not a positive one that helps lead people towards God. so based on that it's not really a true Christian movie. Whether ideological nutcases recognize this fact or not, it IS a Christian movie made by a Christian. But it is only for intelligent, thoughtful Christians, so obviously folks like you aren't the target audience. |

faustus5 Well if the Catholic church condemns it, then it's obviously not a good thing. it's pretty safe to say they know more about Jesus Christ than the average person does.
p.s. for the record... Jesus Christ started the Catholic church with Peter (the first pope) and then it went down through the generations til today. basically it's the church He guides.

Aj_June , what is your family's nationality or ethnicity? I have lived in India, UK and Australia at different times of my life. But I was born an India and even though I am not an Indian resident any more I still consider myself an Indian.
My family is from north India. I was born in the place where Gautama Buddha got his enlightenment. It's an old town of North India.

What is your family religion? I and my sister and cousins who are 35 years old or less are not religious and never were. Father was not religious but in last 5 years it seems he has developed some sort of faith. Mother is moderately religious (Hindu). Grandfather/Grandmother were very religious (Hindu). One aunt is still very religious. |

That reminds me of a quirky little religious film I liked a lot, although I wouldn't call it one of my favorite films.
Masala (1991)

I'm sure that daring to show it in public would provoke the religious fanatics into lynchings and burning down cinemas. It was made in Canada. Could never have been made in India. |

This reminds me that your son looked like a little Buddhist Lama in the pic that you had put previously.
BTW, nice movies on your list, Mur. I hope Miracle of 34th street is the 1947 version that you are talking about.

Excuse me, clueless one, but the Catholic Church is a conservative, reactionary organization that tends to be on the wrong side of almost every issue and does not in any sense represent the final word on Christianity. |

Life of Brian Last temptation of Christ (although when I mentioned that Ada said it was not a Christian movie ) I don't think either of these qualify as "religious films" using a typical definition. They do concern religion but basically mock Christianity. I would probably have agreed with Ada about this. |

My Top Spiritual Films (And One TV Mini-Series) In Chronological OrderLa Passion de Jeanne d’Arc (The Passion of Joan of Arc) / Carl Theodor Dreyer (1928) Silent. Based on the actual trial transcripts. One of the greatest movie performances. Maria Falconetti (her only movie appearance). 82 minutes. The Song Of Bernadette / Henry King (1943). Oscar winner: Best Actress. 156 minutes. The Razor’s Edge / Edmund Goulding (1946). From the Somerset Maugham novel about a young man’s search for meaning after World War I. Tyrone Power, Gene Tierney, Clifton Webb. 145 minutes. Ikiru / Akira Kurosawa (1952). In Japanese. One of the greatest humanist/Buddhist films. My #1 best film of the decade of the 1950s. 143 minutes. Akibiyori (Late Autumn) / Yasujiro Ozu (1960). In Japanese. A mother and daughter contemplate their futures in this great film from the legendary director. 128 minutes. Nattvardsgästerma (Winter Light) / Ingmar Bergman (1962). In Swedish. The second (also the shortest and most accessible) of the famous director’s “Faith” trilogy. 81 minutes. Léon Morin, Prêtre (Leon Morin, Priest) / Jean-Pierre Melville (1962). In French. The story of a young priest in a French village occupied by Germans during WWII. 117 minutes. Il Vangelo Secondo Matteo (The Gospel According to St. Matthew) / Pier Paolo Pasolini (1964). In Italian. Pasolini, a Communist and an atheist, made a film completely faithful in dialog and incident to his source – making both his friends and the state church mad at him. My #3 best film of the decade of the 1960s. 137 minutes. Au Hasard Balthazar / Robert Bresson (1966). In French. The life story of a donkey. 95 minutes. The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy / Douglas Adams (1981). The BBC miniseries is the only way to watch this comic exploration of the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. Six 30-minute episodes. Babettes Gaestbud (Babette’s Feast) / Gabriel Axel (1987). In Danish. My Best Film of the decade of the 1980s. 102 minutes. Kundun / Martin Scorsese (1997). Scorsese directs against type for this meditative story of the early years of the current Dalai Lama. Great score by Philip Glass. 134 minutes. The Straight Story / David Lynch (1999). David Lynch, a maker of weird movies, directed this gentle film of penance and reconciliation. My #2 film of the decade of the 1990s. 112 minutes. And a few more from the New Century which have great promise to become a spiritual classicLe Fils (The Son) / Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne (2002). My Best Film of the Noughties. Die Große Stille (Into Great Silence) / Philip Gröning (2005). Docu of silent monks in France Solntse (The Sun) / Aleksandr Sokurov (2005) . Almost anything by Sokurov might fall into this category. Aleksandra / Aleksandr Sokurov (2007). The Messenger / Oren Moverman (2009) Marwencol / Jeff Malmberg (2010) Prize winning documentary Another Earth / Mike Cahill (2011) Mlyn I Krzyz (The Mill And The Cross) / Lech Majewski (2011) Ida / Pawel Pawlikowski (2013) Phoenix / Christian Petzold (2014) In a Bible study class long ago I was asked my choice for the most Christian movie I had ever seen. I thought for a second or two and said "Ikiru" even though it never mentioned Christ or Christianity. |

Yes, they are not religious movies. However they are movies that are based around religion. |
