By religious, I mean movies about faith, not necessarily Christian or so-called family values. Sometimes, the movies ask tough questions. They are not always inspirational. I have never particularly liked movies about Jesus, because, in my opinion, no movie even comes close to depicting Jesus as I understand him. I suspect the Jesus of history does not resemble the Jesus of motion pictures.
For religious movies, the bar is pretty low, but there are some classics. These are in alphabetical order, not in the order of my preference, are A Man Called Peter, A Man for All Seasons, and:
Amazing Grace
Ben Hur
Brother Sun, Sister Moon
Chariots of Fire
Dead Man Walking
Eat, Pray, Love
Elmer Gantry
Entertaining Angels
Fiddler on the Roof
Gandhi
Going My Way
Lilies of the Field
Malcolm X
Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Saved
Shoes of the Fisherman
Song of Bernadette
Soul Surfer
The Bells of St. Mary’s
The Chosen
The Hiding Place
The Mission
The Nun’s Story
The Passion of Joan of Arc
