["m" ... :)]

Can anyone recommend any good films on religion?
Not a documentary but fiction. I've seen Devil's Advocate and Down to Earth and Dogma.

The Last Temptation Of Christ is a little bit religious

SE7EN would count as a religious film.

The Miracle Maker - it's animated but it's beautifully told and has the most charismatic Jesus that I've ever seen in a film!

 

[Spider-manf4n4t1c]

Passion of the Christ II: Crucify This

 

[Carinne B]

Arthur C. Clarke claimed 2001 was a religious movie. He was an atheist, though.

The ones i have watched and liked are -

The Message is a very good film. Long but enjoyable.

Passion of the Christ. Some scenes are very violent and hard to watch but it is one of those films that you have to see - whether you like it or not is another matter.

Ben Hur is another classic, well known movie and a must see.
