I am delighted that someone so young is aware of so many wonderful classic movies from the 1940's, 50's, and 60's. Your parents did a wonderful job raising you.

Little house on the prairie is just wonderful. Especially the earlier episodes. when they have the baby so much prayer. I cried in several episodes.

"The Passion of Joan of Arc", 1928 silent film, lost to studio fire twice... but it survived. You'll never regret watching it.

"A Man for All Seasons" which profiles the stroy of St. Thomas Moore is damn good and inspiring!

The Disney movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a good movie to watch

I am starting to watch the show Chosen; although it isn’t explicitly Catholic, I still enjoy it for its faithful representation of the origin of the Christian faith: The Gospels of Christ Jesus. I recommend it to anyone who has some difficulty understanding biblical context, and would like to have a visual counterpart to the Holy Scripture. 😊

I LOVE the 1952 Fatima movie, it's one of my favorites. And I recommend: "The Robe" "The Reluctant Saint" "Behind the Mask" "St Ignacio of Loyola: Soldeir, Sinner, Saint" "Saints and Soldiers" "Saints vs Scoundrels" (TV show)

I can’t wait for the resurrection. I’m hoping it comes out this coming Easter. The Passion was amazing. I cried watching what he went through because he loves us.

Couple of recommendations: Hacksaw Ridge - quite graphic and gory due to is war plot but has good messages about perseverance in one belief's, main character is Catholic too and prays God for His help throughout the film. Little Boy - Very nice & touching movie about the power of faith, even though it is more addressed in a humanistic way rather than religious, the messages are there (gospel of faith included). You'll cry at the end.

Thank you for sharing! I've been struggling to come up with Catholic/Family friendly movies for our family!

A television show that _every_ Catholic should watch is _Gunpowder._ Unfortunately it _is_ an HBO show, but it's good. It tells the story of Robert Catesby and Guy Fawkes as they fight persecution during the English Reformation.

Oh. My. Gosh!!! The King & I is a fav!!! Not many people mention that movie and I love that you did. And I would also highly recommend The Chosen. It's a very personal show to me and I love it. I love Dallas and all the actors. Jonathan especially! You will not be disappointed watching it. It will change you're life!!

“Silence” is best understood as a tragedy. Fr Mike Schmitz has a great video explaining why.

i am so happy, i found a CATHOLIC person like MEEEEEE!!!

I absolutely love Vincent Price and now want to watch Song of Bernadette because I heard he was in it. True story time, Price was a convert catholic, and the story of how his wife found out is really nice. Vincent married a catholic, though her name slips my mind, and they moved to America, I think L.A. For a few weeks, he started coming home from work really late. his wife got really worried, believing Vincent to be cheating on him because he was coming at like 3 a.m. She confronted Vincent about it and he pulled out of his pocket some prayer books and revealed that he was surprising her for their anniversary, he had been going to late night classes on Catholicism and converted, later being baptized. "Pray for me, Bernadette" -Vincent Price, Song of Bernadette

Here are some really good ones The Mission The Bells of St. Mary's Sound of Music The 13th Day Boys Town I confess 10 Commandments (interestingly, Vincent Price who played in the film was a convert) usually, I stay away from Pure Flix films, they tend to sugarcoat christianity, making it lobey/dubey and are pretty bad overall.

Hi there, the fact of having a fantastic movie as the Lord of the rings is based on a new beginning again that can establish our own desires. Oooo my name is Michael? And I have not told you but you are one of my favorites. I wish for you to be able to injoy yourself to a nice romantic movie of your own decisions. Why, the real romance is not here but is in heaven. Therefore I realized that what's true about you is not here but in heaven. I wish not to loose the extreme sence of humor that you have brut me. I thank you very much for inviting me to your channel. You are a true blessing that I believe you'll get to your destiny. You bring out the best in me again thank you. Friends.... Gardian angel. E.T.

Thanks for the video! This weekend I just watched a movie about Padre Pío called “The Miracle Man” and I cried the whole way through. I definitely recommend it, it touched my heart and soul 💓

The Ten Commandments along with the Greatest Story Ever Told are my top favorite Biblical films. Most of them are going to feature violence obviously but it wouldn't be accurate without it so I appreciate these extra recommendations that are clean. I'm new to your channel by the way but my grandparents have always been religious so it's nice to find some channels on the topic. All the best!

Who needs modern tv series when we have a huge list of catholic movies to watch? Of the 3 lists I've only seen like 3. (I am very ashamed) but my favorite movie is Mary of Nazareth by Giacomo Campiotti. I loved how they showed our mother.

little house on the prairie is my favorite show of all time. means so much to me, I can literally tear up just thinking about it :) I will rewatch it forever

I watch Song of Bernadette at least 12 times a year. It’s my favorite.

I absolutely love the Lord of the Rings and Narnia movies. Narnia specificially the first one. I am also a huge fan of Sister Act. I also adore the Sissi Movies from the 1950s and "Feuerzangenbowle" (a german classic, we call it a Klassiker, which is traditionally watched either on Christmas Eve and/or on New Years Eve. I am still traumatized by "Ben Hur" the original version and "Spartacus".

ok so this is SO unrelated haha but i was at Mass yesterday and Father was a little tired and struggling with remembering the specific words, and so he looks up to the congregation and says "I'm practicing my Joe Biden". That was literally the greatest thing ever😂

I love The Trouble with Angels too! Why do you think that is controversial? Have you heard of many people not liking it? Also, Courageous is another great movie. It’s not Catholic, but it’s family friendly and has a good message. It was directed by Alex Kendrick, and a lot of his movies are really good. Thanks for sharing!

New to your channel and so happy you mentioned The Trouble with Angels. I really liked Romero a lot about the life of St. Oscar Romero (it's from 1989).

May I recommend The Exorcist. I know it is an R rated film, but there is nothing more heroic about Catholic priests sacrificing their lives to save a 12 year old girl possessed by a demon. Another series I can recommend is the HBO Chernobyl mini series. I know it is not Catholic themed but it portrays very well what Godless ideologies like socialism/communism are capable of. It shows very well what the consequences are when we reject God.

Bless you, Amber. Great list. Have most of these. (Yes, it's now 9 mos. later...) 💜☕

My wife and I like watching the "Father Brown" BBC series. There are a few details where the Father Brown of that series is not a perfectly orthodox Catholic, but it's good fun. 🙂 In general shows in the comedy detective genre (Monk, Psych, Death in Paridise, The Good Cop) are usually good clean fun.

Great suggestions! Another powerful Christian movie that I suggest is The War Room. The resounding message is the power of prayer.

I saw Unplanned in theaters. It made me cry twice.

Related to the song of Bernadette,there is also the passion of Bernadette that I really enjoyed.

As a student of film history, I'd like to offer some noteworthy movies for all Catholics and Christians (Some are on the Vatican's top 45 list): Andrei Rublev (Tarkovsky) - On the Vatican List The Sacrifice (Tarkovsky) - On the Vatican List Nostalghia (Tarkovsky) Winter Light (Bergman) Wild Strawberries (Bergman) - On the Vatican List Cries and Whispers (Bergman) Through a Glass Darkly (Bergman) The Passion of Joan of Arc (Dreyer) - On the Vatican List Ordet (dreyer) - On the Vatican List The Flowers of St. Francis (Rossellini) - On the Vatican List Rome, Open City (Rossellini) - On the Vatican List Viridiana (Bunuel) Nazarin (Bunuel) - On the Vatican List Marketa Lazarova (Vlalic) Au Hasard Balthazar (Bresson) A Man Escaped (Bresson) Diary of a Country Priest (Bresson) It's a Wonderful Life (Capra) - On the Vatican List On the Waterfront (Kazan) - On the Vatican List My Night at Maud's (Rohmer) City Lights (Chaplin) Modern Times (Chaplin) - On the Vatican List The Tree of Life (Malick) Bicycle Thieves (De Sica) - On the Vatican List Babette's Feast - On the Vatican List Citizen Kane (Wells) - On the Vatican List Grand Illusion (Renoir) - On the Vatican List Napoleon (1927) - On the Vatican List The Leopard (Visconti) - On the Vatican List Fantasia (1940) - On the Vatican List Non-Narrative films: Antonio Gaudi (Teshigahara) The Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach You might not like them all but I promise there is some truly edifying stuff on this list.

thanks for the recommendations! I also suggest Padre Pio -Miracle Man (2000) and about Pope JPII: Karol: The Man who became Pope (2005) & Karol: The Pope, The Man (2006) both are not big Hollywood movies but rather local productions with English dubbing but I found them very well done and moving and they are free on KZfaq

I liked the 2020 Fatima movie, but now I want to watch the early version you spoke about. I was wondering when you would get to “It’s a Wonderful Life”, which is one of my all time favorite movies. The Chronicles of Narnia (the 1st one) is worth a view.

It's not a Catholic movie, but one of my absolute favourites is "The painted veil". The story of a marriage begun terribly and redeemed through suffering. And in my opinion it's the only case where the movie is better than the book.

"The Robe" "Benhur" "Going My Way" it is the prequel to: "The Bells of Saint Mary's" "The King and I" is good, but I prefer the earlier version called "Anna and the King" with Irene Dunne. I really enjoy your channel, we need more Catholics with your enthusiasm and fire for our faith. God bless you.

You should really watch Francesco, giullare di Dio. It's an Italian movie, written by two troubled Catholics about St Francis of Assisi. But it was approved by the Vatican.

"The mission" is a stone cold classic. Seriously it is one of the most under rated movies I've ever seen. I dont get emotional at movies, I'm pretty stoic but the mission hit me hard in the feels. Personally I think its Robert DeNiro's finest hour, his character development is Biblical in its redemption arc. Also let me recommend "The Thin red line" by Terrence Malick(who is Catholic).

FOR GRATER GLORY! WATCH IT WATCH IT!!

I'm glad you mentioned October Baby. I watched it several times while I was a Protestant and loved it. The other day I watched it and it has the Cathedral of our diocese in it. I go there about once a month besides going to our parish. Beautiful Church. The bishop mentioned in the credits is the bishop I met during the Rite of Election and now a Facebook friend. God bless you. The theater in the movie is the Alabama theater. My parents took me there to see the Sound of Music when it came out in the 1960s. I'm telling my age now lol. Actually, the Sound of Music began my journey to Catholicism. I was fascinated with the nuns in the movie so I checked out the local monastery just driving around when I was in my teens. That monastery is now EWTN. My journey took too long as I resisted because of some lies and didn't go and ask a priest. One of my favorite Catholic movies is Polycarp, from 2016 I think. It's on Tubi TV. I've been tempted to buy the DVD, but since I can watch it for free, I usually buy a movie about one of the saints.

I LOVE LES MISERABLES!!!!!!!! You should see it on stage if you get a chance. A BEAUTIFUL story about redemption.

Hi Amber! Here two movies that are related together that I highly recommend : "The Robe" (1953) and "Demetrius and the gladiators"(1954)! They really touched my heart, espicially in The Robe one! Here some little descriptions: (The Robe): In the Roman province of Judea during the 1st century, Roman tribune Marcellus Gallio is ordered to crucify Jesus of Nazareth but is tormented by his guilty conscience afterwards. "Demetrius and the gladiators":In 1st century Rome, Christian slave Demetrius is sent to fight in the gladiatorial arena and Emperor Caligula seeks Jesus' robe for its supposedly magical powers." Demetrius is in the 2 movies and is played by a very talented actor I love, Victor Mature! Hope you want to watch it, it is worth it!

What's interesting is if you try to imagine the film "The Matrix" as a religious movie also containing themes of spirituality, Catholicism. Wherein all of us are very mild-mannered people, cut from a mode that is manufactured in order to keep society perfect & orderly--but alas may not bring us happiness unless we learn to think of our lives in deeper terms. It does not mean everything for Thomas Andersen simply to work for his office career; happily leaving it for something more heroic and attentive to his personal problems. Finding out that the limits of science are not really what we percieve them at-fist to be that surviving a certain form of education are we capable of transcending the boring & fake reality, in order to do miraculous things that turn the tide against evil in the name of eternal good. As if Neo's "soul" is the person trapped within the cacophony made by the artificial intelligence and exploring this reality will make him more powerful, as those who encounter the teachings of Jesus can overcome the difficulties pressed upon them by boisterious unbelievers. Real Talk.

And I forgot to mention the Rami Spider-Man trilogy 2002-2007 with Tobey Maguire is also a good movie series to watch

The Little Boy, the 13th day, and Bells of St. Mary’s, are great too!

Doubt is a really good movie. Meryl Streep is amazing. My other faves are all of the Conjuring movies and Annabelle Comes Home. Any true story real life exorcism movies are my favorites because they reaffirm my faith.

To go with the movie For Greater Glory, read the books, Red Mexico Mexican Martyrdom No God Next Door Blood Drenched Alters

Is the list you talked about listed on here ? I was trying to take notes and couldn’t catch all the titles- thanks in advance for sharing!

I liked the old Fatima movie too. It’s a lot like the Song of Bernadette. I liked The 13th Day as well, although I forget but I think it wasn’t as complete with the messages as the old one. But the special effects and the way Our Lady looked in the light was cool. Definitely liked it a lot more than the 2020 one.

Silence and Calvary are interesting modern meditations on faith and morality.

I like my old black and white television. Can’t beat some Dick Van Dyke show, Andy Griffith, I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver, The Twilight Zone and the Rifleman.

Haven't watched the video yet so don't know if you mentioned it, but highly reccomend Paddington 2 lol

Havent watched past the intro ad yet but incase it doesnt get mentioned- Angels In the Outfield, the original one, based on the Pittsburgh Pirates, is amazing.

The Chosen is the best Jesus biography I have ever seen and I’ve seen plenty in my long life.

3 films ( not for kids). ‘Calfary’ starring Brendan Gleeson, ‘Silence’ by Scorsese & ‘The Mission’ none are easy or comfortable viewing , but imo the topics cover the human existence, sin, redemption, the search for God, our human failings but touches on the beauty of faith amongst it all. In my opinion, not necessarily wholesome, but extremely catholic in their very DNA

Amber, don't know if you saw it already, but I have to recommend "On The Waterfront"

The Chosen....the best current series

*Kingdom of Heaven* is not necessarily a Catholic film per say, but since it's about the Crusades Catholicism naturally plays a role. It's about Balian, a blacksmith, who loses his wife to a suicide and to save her soul from eternal damnation, he joins the Crusades to defend the Kingdom of Jerusalem against the army of Saladin. He thus gets caught up in a Holy War all while struggeling to maintain his faith. If you watch it, please watch the Director's Cut. Another pretty good Bible movie is the *Prince of Egypt* . This animation by Dreamworks is one of the best Moses story on the market, even if it changed scripture a little bit (most notibly the relation between Moses and the Pharaoh).

actually a very good film is A Man of Iron by Andziej Wajda. It explains the story of the strikes in the Gdansk shipyards, which led to the starting of Solidarity. it's in Polish but maybe you can get one with English subtitles

I loved Trouble with Angels!! We watched it in Catholic school so I think it’s okay 😉

Country Comfort, a great family/Christian friendly show, I really recommend it :)

I think it's best to watch both Fatima movies since in both movies there are details kind of get missed in both but together would compliment one another.

Try “Going my Way” and “The Bells of Saint Mary’s”. Bing Crosby is great as Fr. O’Malley. Barry FitzGerald and Ingrid Bergman are also great.

I recommend the movie “Thérèse: The Story of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux” (2004)

Never seen well anyway if I had to pick my favorite five it probably be Shawshank Redemption Passion of the Christ 12 Angry Men Coward of the County and Pamela's prayer

Go watch The Borgias 2011. It’s on Netflix. The show is filled with pre-Vatican 2 catholic traditions and culture.

Babette’s Feast. An older film about redemption.

Don’t forget Narnia! And if you ignore the fact that they’re not like the books and a bit strung out, the Hobbit movies are fun if you’re bored

I was a little surprised by a few of your choices. Passion is as you say not sugar coated but its more than that -- it's a level of graphic gore you rarely see even in horror movies. Anyway, how do you feel about The Conjuring? Did you see it?

Vision, about the life of Hildegard von Bingen is avail on youtube by Kino Lorber. Subtitles are available.

I watched The Song of Bernadette on TV, but I wanna rewatch it, where can I find it?

Raining Stones (1993) The Decalogue (1988) The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1964) Ida (2014) I Confess (1953) The Straight Story (1999) The Leopard (1963)

You might like the other newer Fatima movie called, The 13th Day. It is low budget but really great.

I would suggest the movie Roe v. Wade as well and explained what happened in the 1960s that made abortion legal in the United States the other movie that I would suggest would be the latest gods not dead movie when it comes out if it’s not out already it is about parents who want to homeschool their children because of what is going on in the Public school system

I love the new Fatima movie, even bought it. I feel like everyone is being so hard on it, but I enjoyed it. It's a movie, not catechism class or Bible study. It's definitely not a documentary either, it's just wholesome entertainment. If anything it may pique someone's interest enough to go and research further & actually find all the facts about Fatima. But I don't bash catholic entertainment, there's barely any new stuff out there as it is. It's entertainment, like Lord of the Rings, Infidel, etc. I love it. Oh and the new Divine Mercy movie I like too!

I highly recommend the 1950s A Christmas Carol.

May I recommend the 2009 film "Into Temptation". It is definitely not for children; it is rated R and has strong sexual themes. It's about this Catholic Priest who is willing to sacrifice his good name and reputation by diving into the seedy world of the sex trade, all in a effort to find and save the life of a woman who told him in confession that she was going to commit suicide. It's really a great film and a rare time in Hollywood where the Catholics aren't the bad guys. Approach it with an open mind and I'm sure you'll like it. The surprise ending is great.

What is your favorite iced coffee?? I'm addicted to a Vanilla Cold brew with soft top from Dutch Bros. here in the Pacific Northwest!!

have you considered watching the chosen yet?

I remember you said you disliked American Gospel bcuz it was “anti-catholic” in the middle. Was there any other reason?

The new Fatima is still worth watching. It will not disappoint you even if lacking some of the scenes in the earlier movie.

Could you please suggest shows like The Office us that I could watch

"Unplanned" 👍❤️

Padre Pío movie on Form is so beautiful

La La Land The most inspirational movie I’ve ever seen.

I suggest "My Catholic Family" in EWTN

I hope you read this. I loved watching that. October Baby is a good movie. I took a quick glance on the list. Three movies not mentioned. All from the 1950's that are Catholic themed: 'On the Waterfront' (1954) with Marlon Brando, eve Marie Saint & Karl Maldon who plays a Catholic priest about gang Controlled unions along the docks in New York. (Won Best Picture) 'Marty' (1955) A great romance movie of a 34 year old man, a butcher in New York, who is still single, with all is siblings married, lives with his mother & finally goes out with a woman who was dumped on a blind date. He is a Catholic. (Won Best Picture & the Golden Palm in France) 'The Wrong Man' is an Alfred Hitchcock movie, that is based on real life events. This movie has so many Catholic themes. The wrongly identified man prays the Rosary, etc. I describe that movie in one word, bleak.

Best Movies I can think of 1. Life is Beautiful 2. On the Waterfront Elia Kazan (1954, USA) 3. Babettes gæstebud (Babette’s Feast) Gabriel Axel (1987, Denmark) 4. A Man for All Seasons Fred Zinnemann (1966, UK) 5. The Incredibles 6. Lord of The Rings 7. The Bells of Saint Mary's 8. The Song of Bernadette 9. Au Revoir, Les Enfants (Goodbye, Children) Louis Malle (1987, France) 10. It’s a Wonderful Life Frank Capra (1946, USA) 11. The Prince of Egypt 12. Metropolis Fritz Lang (1927, Germany) 13. The Passion of The Christ 14. The Quiet Man 15. The Mission Roland Joffé (1986, UK) 16. Thérèse Alain Cavalier (1986, France) 17. Ben-Hur [A Tale of the Christ] William Wyler (1959, USA)

What do you think about the ‘Chosen’ show?

Agree with many of your choices although I'm surprised you didn't mention Going My Way or the Bells of St. Mary. I'd like to also throw in the Two Popes that came out recently. Just watched it this morning. As far as The Exorcism of Emily Rose unless I'm mistaken Emily Rose was a fictional character. The movie is inspired by the exorcism of Annaliese Michel that died in 1976 in Germany. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d96fiLpkudSUYY18.htmlf you get around to watching Silence I hope you do a review. I was sorta conflicted about the end of the movie on whether the priest did the right thing. Would like to hear your thoughts on it.

That's called a addiction young lady!!!! God Bless

The Song of Bernadette is on youtube Jennifer Jones does a great job in A Portrait of Jeannie with a repectful representation of nuns in a convent school I highly recommend Come to the Stable it's an amazing Catholic film from 1946!!! Ida is a very artistic drama film representing a catholic novice about to take her vows in 1960s Poland Touched By an Angle may not be Catholic but there's alot of enjoyment and thought provoking messages Bells of Saint Mary's is a great Catholic film from the 1940's Mother Angelica Live has plenty of episodes on KZfaq St Mary Mazarello House of Happiness is a great Catholic film on KZfaq

The exorcism of Emily Rose is based on true story of annelisse michel. There is a documentary movie about this German teen girl and it is 100x scarier than this horror. It is including real exorcism tapes with demon voices. So not for everyone. As Pole i would recommend "Popiełuszko. Freedom is within us".

Jesus of Nazareth is a really long movie

You should wacht The Chosen.

Circle k gas station got good ice coffee. But you got to go inside and make it yourself. Haha

I love watching daredevil

The Conjuring movies are great. While other movies sugarcoat witches or Satan, this movie doesn't. Instead it showed the simple truth, they lead to death. Also the Conjuring showed the romance between a married couples, staying faithful to God and each other. While most movies showed premarital sex. For real, this is a mainstream movie that show fidelity, purity and faith as good. Also Lorraine carries a rosary in her hands. Plus, this movie earn is about the inherent evil of paranormal events while many only believe in ghosts but not God. Consider how some horror movie mock Christianity, this film is pretty unique.

The passion
