It's been awhile but I saw these films on Sister Clare Crockett, she was very charismatic I thought: Clare Crockett - Wikipedia Clare Theresa Crockett (14 November 1982 – 16 April 2016) was a Catholic nun and former actress from Northern Ireland. ... She joined an acting agency at 14 and got her first job at 15. She worked as a theater actor, writer and director, and as a tv presenter for Channel 4. She was a self-confessed wild child during her teenage years and loved to go partying.[4] She wanted to become a famous actress after a role[5] in the Jimmy McGovern film Sunday, directed by Charles McDougall, which depicted the 1972 Bloody Sunday massacre in Northern Ireland. ... Death[edit] On 16 April 2016, while she was playing the guitar and singing with her companions, the house where she was staying collapsed due to the 2016 Ecuador earthquake. Hours later she was found lifeless under the rubble. She died due to multiple injuries, in a community of Riochico, Portoviejo, Ecuador.[12][13][14][15][16] Her remains were flown from Ecuador two weeks after her death back to her home town of Derry and were laid to rest in the City Cemetery.[17] Since her death, the story of her life has become known to many and she has been an inspiration[18][19] for her womanhood and for her exceptional commitment to her vocation. Legacy[edit] The movie All Or Nothing summarizes her life.[20][21] In 2020, a house-sized mural commemorating Sister Clare was unveiled near her home in Derry,[22][23][24] and a sister in her religious order published a biography of her.[25][2] Miracles[edit] Healings and fertility miracles have been attributed to her after people prayed for her intercession[26][27][28][29] and there have been calls for her to be made a saint.[30] Usually a beatification process doesn’t begin until at least 5 years[31] after a person’s death. In January 2021 her order said that they have begun "to take steps in view of opening the cause”[32] of her beatification, but that it also depends on the local ecclesial authorities in Ecuador, as set out in the Catholic Church's relevant document, Sanctorum Mater. [33] Movie: Report, shorter: Very much modern day....very lovely. This impressed me. As a male, I tend to think some of these films, yes, are more geared towards women... but the Church appeals to all. I watched some of that St. Philip Neri movie, it was good but seemed a bit oriented towards youth I thought. But I think most should at least know about Sister Clare Crockett.
I would take a pass from the Meryl streep movie. No love for the Church. Of God's and Men is supposed to be wonder ful. I havent seen it yet. The Mission is good I thought. The Way is worth a watch. Just my 2 cents.
Roe Vs Wade 2021 Wow so many Catholic heroes during the 1970s Abortion wars as shown in this film. Planned Parenthood/ Abortion Advocates singled out the Catholics as their no.1 enemy. You would be proud as a Catholic after watching this film.
This was uploaded only May 28th, 2021 and already has over 40,000 views?? They ask women of their experiences on getting an abortion, pretty good movie. I think the film itself is not new, Doctor Martin Luther King's neice Alveda is in it, she's quite a bit younger than nowadays, Alveda has already said something like her daughter or niece are already in the pro-life movement. That same channel, Christian movies has another pro-life movie, "Alison's Choice", it's okay. Some years ago, I saw some movie about an abortion survivor, a young woman who goes to meet the mother who tried to abort her, I thought that was pretty good. I can't remember the name.
I don't know if it was this same man who did the performance I saw, it has been awhile but one can note, A total recitation of the Gospel of Mark by one man, I saw it done. Impressive. Watch Mark's Gospel: On Stage With Max MacLean (2017) - Free Movies | Tubi (tubitv.com)
They shift around movies at that tubitv and as I've said before, I'm not sure if these links will work in Europe and elsewhere.... Vatican Best Films List - IMDb <--- Per 1995, this is the Vatican's list of "great films", not sure if I agree with all of the selections but "CHARIOTS OF FIRE" is on the list.... There is a bit of a sequel to "Chariots of Fire"..."Wings of Eagles", watch at: Watch On Wings of Eagles (2017) - Free Movies | Tubi (tubitv.com) "On Wings of Eagles" about Eric Liddel Eric Liddell - Wikipedia , Olympic runner from "Chariots of Fire", he became a missionary (not a Catholic missionary but Church of Scotland or something similar) and died in a Japanese prison camp. You know, it's not a bad movie and it was made by Chinese Christians, they had to toe carefully how even they presented this story with China's repressive government. This lead actor, Joseph Fiennes is also in "Risen", Also, fast forward to about 4:25 on the video below, 45 Christian Missionary Martyrs in China around the year of 1900, short film piece, less than 10 minutes. I'm sure most if not all of these martyrs are from the United Kingdom...this was during that time of the Boxer Rebellion.
I'm sure plenty of members of the forum have seen "Gospa" on Medjugorje. One common complaint about the movie and it's not really a bad complaint is that it is not really about the message of Medjugorje, it's about the struggle with the Communists, the leaders of Yugoslavia. I had this on videocassette, VCR, I watched it many times. Martin Sheen, Michael York, Morgan Fairchild, Paul Guilfoyle. Acting is no problem. Movies like "Song of Bernadette" and "The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima" key in on the message of the apparitions and apparition site. I think that is why those two movies are highly regarded. My personal rating would be it's an okay movie.
We'd hand out those Miraculous Medals...in the MI, send brochures to hospitals, prisons, place flyers on cars (just for the record, Prisons usually don't allow Miraculous Medals because they are steel, maybe one could fashion a weapon out of such). Very short film below, 16 minutes. What is the Militia of the Immaculata International militia-immaculatae.org UK branch seems connected to SSPX... here is one of their magazines, elaborate publication for a magazine. knight_no.24.pdf (sspx.org) Just one of the organizations in the US, this is probably the main one but there may be other organizations, people striking out on their own.

Well, there is the Shrine, 24 hour webcam. In Illinois. Audiobook: and Then He Smiled - The Story Of Saint Maximilian Kolbe
For Canada, maybe a bit reminiscent of Solanus Casey here in the US, Brother Andre in Quebec was just, I think, even just a doorman at the Church, no great position of power... but miracles seemed to happen around him. André Bessette - Wikipedia So, he was humble in his station in life. BROTHER ANDRE The Wonder Man of Mount Royal I think this movie is dubbed into English from French. I have a friend really into Brother Andre... Andre had a devotion to St. Joseph, I really should know more about this myself. André Bessette, C.S.C. (9 August 1845 – 6 January 1937), more commonly known as Brother André (French: Frère André), and since his canonization as Saint André of Montreal, was a lay brother of the Congregation of Holy Cross and a significant figure of the Roman Catholic Church among French-Canadians, credited with thousands of reported miraculous oil healings associated with his pious devotion to Saint Joseph.[1]

I never knew until watching the movie that the image is printed on both sides!! That's pretty astounding. There's always something new to know. Also covered of course, are the eyes of OLG, I've known that for some time. The Eyes of Our Lady of Guadalupe (holyhillcross.com) There's the live webcam, COVID really slowed attendance down. I don't think attendance has recovered yet, in the background is the earlier Basilica. It was closed, see, Mexico City as they say is built on a lake and some buildings there are sinking, problems with the foundation. ------------------ Western actors but...less than an hour long, "Paul The Emissary" is a good Bible-based film, based on Paul's Epistles.

Not sure what you mean by “it’s new to me”. Do you mean you never saw The Chosen before , that you didn’t know it was ever live-streamed, or are you referring to the scene tonight where Jesus is arrested by the Romans- but it’s not The arrest?
I see the new film about Fatima is released in Ireland. Saw the clip of Our Lady appearing and a little sad. She seemed rather like an ordinary woman in white. But then how could they really have truly portrayed her? 'Some people are never going to believe, even when standing before the Face of God.' Our Lady of Fatima
I am impressed in that I believe at the July 13th, 1917 appearance, Our Lady showed the children her Immaculate Heart, it's not easy to pull off something like that effectively but the movie makers attempted it and I'm impressed. Some might not like it but I did. (EDIT ON: This image is NOT from the movie) That's a bit why it is difficult to keep up with the details of the apparitions. At least, they tried. The movie also shows where the children see the vision of hell, on July 13th as well. I guess Joana Ribeiro is the actress who plays Our Lady. Like Vittoria Belvedere who acts in some of the Italian "Catholic" movies like "St. Rita of Cascia" a very good movie, these actresses come off as a bit secular to me, mainstream. Joana Ribeiro plays Our Lady of Fatima and for me, does very well at it, netflix or amazon has the movie. If one really showed Our Lady of Fatima, might she be 16 years old or something? So no movie actually does that yet. : I'm not saying for all actresses but most of them, "sex" still seems to be a big selling point. Europe, some of Europe that is, might even be worse than the US though, of course, generally speaking, nothing could be worse than people like that Harvey Weinstein fellow. To me, Lucia's mother and the Priest are the best actors but especially Lucia's mother. One really meets people like that in real life, her name is Lucia Moniz. Very impressive: Cast Fatima; Fatima (2020) - Full Cast & Crew - IMDb Father Ferriera was played by Joaquim de Almeida, Brazilian I believe. I watched some movie where he was a bad guy. Unfortunately, it seems a good number of motion pictures with Latinos portray criminals... just like you have Mafia movies with Italians. So he wore his Rosary around his neck like a necklace? I wonder if that really happened but overall I like the movie. Maybe it is not as good as "The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima" but imho, it's got its pluses. -------- There's a book "100 Questions and Answers" on Fatima... that might be the book to get if one really wants to sort out the details. I'm afraid if I were to get it, it would just sit around and not be read but it might be useful to some. First apparition, May 13th, 2nd, June 13th, 3rd, July 13th, by August, the children are not allowed to come, in jail? and so it continues.
I was reading the reviews at IMDB (internet movie database) and...I thought one of the reviews was spot on, at least for the USA... Fatima was against Communism and low and behold, something like that is in the USA, we need to pray to be protected from it.. Pray, Pray, Pray. Nothing to take lightly....So, Fatima appears to be very relevant still.

Does anyone have Pure Flix? I keep seeing ads for it on my DVD’s and wonder if it’s worth it to purchase?
Pureflix have some of those kinds of protestant-oriented films, films like "God's Not Dead II" in this case. "Courage", "Facing the Giants", etc. Why 2 Pure Flix Produced Films Have Dove Nominations I think they are alright movies. Tubitv who I almost seem to plug and don't mean to, have a number of films if one types in "Faith" besides have it's own category called that: faith | Search results | Watch Free TV Online | Tubi (tubitv.com) Billy Graham's company "World Wide Pictures" made some movies, some from the '50s and '60s may not be great movies but I've enjoyed them some just to see what they are saying: Watch Oiltown, U.S.A.

A movie with light Christianity (doesn't preach, not really), independent movie is "To Be A Soldier", I really thought it was a good movie, well made, creative. Watch To Be a Soldier (2018) - Free Movies | Tubi (tubitv.com) They also have their share of Catholic movies and "Bible" movies too...

They have some movie "Ruth, the Musical", I watched the first few minutes, it looked okay.
thanks! I have tubi as well and was wondering how you were finding your movies I’ll check out the ones you suggest. I’m ok watching Protestant movies - it’s still better than what they are showing on cable. And even if the show is ok, sometimes the ads drive me to distraction!
