I think there are 2 available already…Fr.Kolbe the prisoner and Maximillian Kolbe are the names I think…one is a documentary though…I’d like to see a film about St. Maximilian Kolbe.

I’d like to second the several suggestions for a film on the life of St. Augustine; he and his mother St. Monica are great heroes to me!
I’d also dearly love to see a film on the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe to Juan Diego in Mexico. I have many Mexican friends, and it is a heart-wrenching tragedy to see many of them falling away from the true Church and embracing Protestant beliefs(Pentecostalism, mostly!
); perhaps a film about Mexico’s patron saint would serve as a wake-up call to get them back into the fold.

Wonderful Topic!!!
3 Movies I would love to see made. One of them I was actually in the process of getting a go on.
Has anyone read Bud McFarlands Books??
There is one called “Pierced By a Sword” that would be a HUGE hit in the theatre I just know it.
havent read it yet? What are you waiting for its free and its awesome.

Code:
If you've read the Book then you know the Character Father Chet Sullivan (of course youd remember these characters become your best friends as you read the book) I can see his character being played by Father Larry Richards. They are an exact MATCH!
I met Father Larry last year I believe it was and asked him if it was Him in the character, since he is a good friend to the McFarlands. It wasnt he said. But still when I read this book he is who I see as Father Chet.catholicity.com

Spooky “catholic” film ? No, not “The Exorcist”!
The film that freaks me out is “Black Narcissus”-The nuns are not Roman Catholics, they are over-the-top Anglo-Catholics -but the whole oddity of an unreal religion is within every frame…Rumer Godden detested the AC nuns who had educated her, so her novel at least strikes back at them.
Of course, it’s not India either and Sabu is the stuff of stupid English vicars who knew the Raj…He’s pantomimic…
But the spookiness begins with the Christmas celebration…they don’t seem to have obtained a priest, but the way that Sister Clodagh’s head slips into carnal memory about her lover and also that they are sunk in a liturgical tinsel is absolutely unsurpassed in cinema.
A lot more happens-it’s famous that one nun puts on rouge and lipstick and chases a man.
In short, a film that draws on the very stimulating theme of imitation fake religion.

P l e a s e nothing re-evoking Bing Crosby, Princess Grace , Frank Sinatra or Pat O’ Brien.
Sad that Princess Grace fell from the religion she used to so romantically defend every Christmas.
The others are actors…their films were no more than well produced cliches of the faith.
Maybe priests should be left from films, just as there used to be regulation about any depiction of Jesus.I don’t know where US films get their church interiors-In England a crew cannot go near a consecrated church and film a drama.A notorious film “Priest” used a derelict building-what they produced about the contemporary Catholic priesthood was bad enough.I like spotting mistakes-a soap opera had a priest whom a teenager was in love with celebrating a mass on Good Friday.I ask you.
Apart from supernatural theological horror and well produced religious epics , I detest movie religion…nuns and priests.
How many vocations were inspired by "The Sound Of Music"I have never in all my life seen a sillier film, I cheered when the Germans arrived as as a boy and laughed to know the old one about if they’d followed the route of Reverend Mother they would not have made it to Switzerland.One Jaffa orange of a film !
The Passion ?Well we are no longer in the realm of inferior and mediocre art or at least I didn’t think so.Very interesting angle with the language, perhaps we lack a Miklos Rosza to write us scores these days.But the early colour scheme was radiant.Of course it’s soaked in our view of things, but that’s not a problem, it makes a much better job than "King of Kings " which confused us badly about Jesus’ mother and his foster-father.
One last question?I was rather taken that in Mel Gibson’s film the Disciples were already calling Mary their Mother.What do people think of that?Also if I could be very positive with my final suggestion I would like to see a tasteful and artistically stimulating film dealing with Mary’s early life, possibly involving Saint Anne.Think of something new around the visit of Gabriel and even don’t pitfall with the manger scene .Any offers ?

Craig- I was thinking the exact same thing when I started reading this thread. They could call it “MAX!”I’d like to see a film about St. Maximilian Kolbe.
Are you in the Militia Immaculata?

I agree that these books would make great movies.
I have a point to pick with you. Buzz rubbed me the wrong way almost all the way through “Conceived Without Sin.”

Darn, they put that scene in Pirates of the Caribbean, must have been some mix-up at the studio!Actually,
Mel Gibson forgot a part of the Passion that I would have liked to see.
In the Gospel of Matthew, I believe there is an account that then Jesus died on the Cross, that the ‘graves were opened and the dead walked throughout Jerusalem.’ Now what a spooky scene that could have been captured on film!

I have to agree with several others: St. Augustine and especially St. Francis of Assisi. But Miguel Pro would be interesting too…

St Francis has been cinematically impersonated several times.Bradford Dillman played him once and there was a flower child one called Brother Sun, Sister Moon. I think Judy Bowker was S Clare. These films do daft things-no one gets the habit right…they rely on much later pictures and styles.
The Italians have made very good treatments of Francis.
If you watch something as silly as “The Vikings” with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis, you’ll see a monk that might as well be a Dominican or at least a Franciscan stuck in the middle of Amglo-Saxon England! “You can take your magic elsewhere holyman !”

Until then, we have the GK Chesterton ballad. Actually, no movie could do for this great moment in human history what GK did with the greatest English poem of the 20th Century. Memorize it. Teach it to your children.
“It is Richard, it is Raymond, it is Godfrey at the gate!”
