Most Catholic & Least Catholic Movies:"The Passion of the Christ" received more votes from readers than the next three films on the list combined: 1965's "The Sound of Music," 1966's "A Man for All Seasons" and 1943's "The Song of Bernadette." Rounding out the 10 most pro-Catholic movies were 1946's "It's a Wonderful Life," 1956's "The Ten Commandments," the 1983 made-for-TV movie "The Scarlet and the Black," the 1977 TV miniseries "Jesus of Nazareth," 1993's "Schindler's List," and 1945's "The Bells of St. Mary's."
TPOTC, Schindler's List, The Song of Bernadette, The Sound of Music, A Man for All Seasons, and Jesus of Nazareth are top notch. I've never seen
The Ten Commandments or
The Scarlet and the Black.
The Bells of St. Mary's,
It's a Wonderful Life are okay.
On the anti-Catholic list, with one exception, the worst films were the most recent. Following 2003's "The Order" were 2002's "The Magdalene Sisters" (released last year in the United States); the 2001 cable television production "Sister Mary Explains It All"; 2000's "Chocolat"; 1999's "Stigmata" and "Dogma"; 1998's "Elizabeth"; 1988's "The Last Temptation of Christ"; 1994's "Priest"; and 1985's "Agnes of God."
I was aware of these being anti-Catholic so I didn't waste my time or money on any of them. I already KNOW what the world thinks so I don't think I'm missed much. Meanwhile there's a Corner post on the hateful "Million Dollar Baby"
here.
