Best religious movies you've seen?

Troll 2 comes to mind

Leap Of Faith

Stigmata FTW.

Is Leap of Faith that Steve Martin movie about the tele evangelist? If so, come on. That's not religious. It might use the theme of a faux religious person in the movie, but the movie isn't religious.

I know. My bow was at his joke.

I'm still really trying to narrow this down for a serious answer. I'm not sure I've seen one that really qualifies as a great religious movie without some type of agenda. Either to sway you toward that religion, or to make up some story based on lore (more common)


ETA: I guess I should broaden my thinking. I never thought of AN or Shawshank as "religious"

Ben-Hur by a mile. You don't even need to be a Christian to like that movie. Great acting, gripping plot and the action sequences put you on the edge of your seat. That movie works on many levels.

The Passion Of Christ
Fireproof
Ten Commandments
Letters To God
The Appointment
Pastor Jones Series
Facing The Giants

It could be argued that any good film is religious because all art is religious

I guess I would need to hear that argument, because right now in my head it makes zero sense.

Scorsese's movie Last Temptation
