I am looking for movie recommendations. I like watching movies during my free time at nights before I go to bed, but it is hard finding good movies.

My favorite movies are Andrei Rublev and the Passion of Joan of Arc. Rublev was directed by a Russian and is about a Russian "Orthodox" painter, directed by a Russian Andrei Tarkovsky and the Passion is about the trial of the saint, directed by a Lutheran, Carl Dreyer. There is one movie I haven't seen but want to see and that is Monsieur Vincent which I have heard is the best Catholic movie ever made.

I am looking for recommendations of good movies that may or may not be Catholic, as long as they are not sinful to watch.

I also love the films of Yasujiro Ozu. All of them, but especially Tokyo Story, Late Spring, and Early Summer.

If you can sit patiently through this movie and actually enjoy it, my hat is off to you. You are well on your way to earning a martyr's crown.

Do get Monsieur Vincent—but not the dubbed version! There's nothing like it. Amazon has got it.

This is a DECENT list of movies. There are some bombs, however, like the "Faustina" movie, and the Dorothy Day story, Schindler's List, and Sister Act. Ugh. But, it's a novus ordo list, so keep that in mind.

There are a good many excellent films on this list, though.
