Faith / Spirituality / Religion

This is not intended to be comprehensive - and only just begun to draft. These are some of the ones I have seen and some of those I would like to see - that I know about.

I am open minded to multifaith and nonfaith / atheistic explorations too.

Bottom line - is it a well made movie / does it stimulate discussion / does it cover an area not otherwise touched. If you know ANY please let me know.

At the moment I am collecting and scanning. I will hopefully split this into sections later.


DrPhibes has a list too @ http://www.flixster.com/movie-list/faith-on-film
