MERRY CHRISTMAS

Answer 1

I like "A Man for all Seasons" and "Ben Hur" is a classic epic. I own them both.

Answer 2

I have a few. I would recommend one called "Joseph and His Brethren" , it's an old movie. I think that I found it in one of those $1 bins at Walmart. I look there often when I want to see if they have such a movie in there. I have several of those. They are old movies that they wouldn't dare ask more for.

They also had and really old old movie, "Pontius Pilate" from 1952. I left the link below, you can even watch the whole movie streaming from the link on the page I provided.

Also, I didn't see the "Gospel of John" on your list. If you do not have that movie, get it! I think that it is the most accurate Gospel movie out there. You might make it the gem of your collection.

I am always out to see what they have. According to a rather recent program about the Bible portrayed in movies which was on Discovery Channel or History Channel ( I always forget which - they are so similar ) , the movies made by Christians are gaining in popularity. That community has found out something about the market that the traditional outlets didn't like: They do not see the need to open the movie in secular movie theaters. What has been shown is that the movies do quite well in being released in churches across America. So the occasional release in secular theaters still happens, as I think "The Nativity Story" did, but many other movies have not be released to those theaters.

I am glad that they are so encouraged to do well made movies outside of the focus of the secular public.

Also, I watch movies that are Hollywood/Christian movies ( as long as they are not musicals - sorry Disney ) , in order to make them an example - to challenge my cunning with Biblical scripture. I treat all Biblical movies that way, but when I come across a movie like "Constantine" I find a particular interest in the way they abandon Biblical reasoning for the purpose of telling a story. Also, some people do not know the difference, and I like to be up on the movie so that I can know what the question is about, and to be able to relate the answer accurately to the question.

Answer 3

Vincere pro domino, amice! (latin)

I've only seen a couple, but that's a great collection!

I've got more of the veggi tales stuff, which is practically the same thing.

Good luck and merry CHRISTmas, fellow Catholic! I'm with you all the way!

Answer 4

I prefer "Trouble With Angels"--I love the card BTW--Merry Christmas

Answer 5

I wonder if you have a documentary film of the Catholic Church and the Ustashi? Or do you just do 'Hollywoodized' versions of Biblical epics?

Catholics and Muslims worked together on the Ustashi 'project', surely that would be a worthy addition?

Answer 6

I might get "End of Days" simple because I want to put a collage of Arnie 1 liners together.

Does that count?

Answer 7

I do.

We have drinking parties and watch them Mystery Science Theater 3000 style.

Answer 8

I collect Christians in my basement and use them as slaves, but I treat them according to the OT standards for treating your slaves so it's cool

Answer 9

i like "Naughty Nuns III"


much better than the first 2


(go ahead thumbs down me crusader, but you know it was funny :P
merry Christmas)
