Let me know how you found it. :+1:t2:

It can be a bit heavy but it does touch on the very essence of the sacrifices nuns made and continue to make. I hope you make it to the end. 😊

The 1983 made-for-TV movie “The Scarlet and the Black” starring Gregory Peck as Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty. A true story of Nazi-occupied Rome during WWII. It puts the lie to the myth of “Hitler’s Pope” But the true miracle occurred in 1959.

Ah. Then you know the rest of the story.

I believe that Monsignor O’Flaherty will ultimately be canonized.

He was an extraordinary person.

In English, I always enjoy going back to the Song of Bernadette. Even though there are historical inaccuracies, it is still a delightful movie.

Similarly the Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima is a charming movie.

For the third? It is a hard choice for me between A Man for All Seasons and Becket.

I am pretty sure if my old Latin teacher, Sister Mary S., was alive, she would be telling us to watch Risen. Anything with a realistic depiction of Rome, she told us we should watch

I have never heard of this movie. I shall have to seek it out. In which country was it made?

This brings back memories…the story of the Ten Booms was so profoundly moving.

“Risen” is a US movie made by Sony Entertainment with a US and British cast. Joseph Fiennes plays the lead character of a Roman tribune who sees Jesus die and then later is sent by Pilate to prove Jesus didn’t rise from the dead. I don’t usually watch current movies but a priest happened to recommend this one so I checked it out. Here is the official trailer:

I never heard of this movie so I looked it up and was surprised to find out it was apparently one of the most popular movies from Spain ever made. Watched a clip on YouTube in Spanish. It was such a sweet movie. I have to find a full copy with the English subtitles.

I remember this. And its sequel. They were both wonderful. His cause for his beatification is in the pipeline…the founder of Boys Town that is…not Spencer Tracy.

Hmmm. Looks interesting. Never heard of it but then I am not in the circle on American films. Thanks for the information.
 
There’s this movie called Aurore, and it contains a lot of Catholic themes. It’s hard to explain. Anyways, I saw this movie when I was 12 and started researching Catholicism after watching it.

Henry Poole is Here; it was funny but also spiritual. also, George Lopez is in it

I feel like I’m forgetting some other movies. Oh! The Bells of St. Mary’s. It’s from 1945, I loved it.
 
I read somewhere that they’re making a continuation of the Passion, about the Resurrection.
Is that true?
