Can you get a Chesterton book on a netflix? I would recommend Orthodoxy. It's a good one.

Kinda funny you ask if there was a Chesterton book on Netflix... I just learned that Chesterton ' s short stories of Fr Brown was put into a movie series in the 1950's. Probably not on Netflix though. I couldn't imagine appreciating Chesterton ' s works in a visual setting.

Thank you, although I cannot support FSSP if they compromise with the Novis Ordo and I am not Sedevacantist.

If you are an SSPX supporter there isn't much there that I have found. There is more for the indult crowd and sedevacantists and a lot more for the resistance supporters, but very little for SSPX supporters. I think the SSPX must not allow their priests to post sermons online or something. I don't know why else there wouldn't be more of their sermons online since there are so many priests compared to the resistance and the sedevacantists yet there are so few SSPX youtube videos.

I like things like this:
when it comes to religious topics, but when I was starting this topic I wasn't necessarily looking for just religious topics. Originally I was posting regarding entertainment, but of course religious subject matter is great when it's good.

lol. It wasn't a trick question :)

You won't find anything like that on Netflix, I'm afraid.

Netflix's streaming library has become of considerably low quality over the last few years, so there aren't many titles that I'd recommend unconditionally. But I have a knack for recommending things to people (or so I'm told) based on their tastes.

What sort of genres/themes to you enjoy? What are you favorite movies to date? And are you married/would you be watching with your husband/children/etc.?

If you're looking for entertainment there are a lot of good old movies from the 1930's and many have a good moral in them.
If you're strong in your faith you will see the moral in these stories.
Back then they were making movies that told a story and all without sex and shock value.

Some good ones are;

First Legion(Jesuits)-Charles Boyer
Andy Hardy movies-Mickey Roon ey
Green Dolphin Street- Donna Reed
Picture of Dorian Gray
Friedly Persuasion - Jimmy Stewart
Yours Mine and Ours= Lucille Ball
Yankee Doodle Dandy-James Cagney
3 Godfathers-John Wayne
By Dawn's Early Light (Teens) Richard Crenna
Count of Monty Cristo
Young Tom Edison - Mickey Rooney
Fighting Sullivans- Anne Baxter
The Hawaiians- Charlton Heston
Shop Around the Corner-James Stewart
Kings Row-Ronald Reagan
Knute Rockne All American-Pat O'Brien
San Francisco-Clark Gable

The list goes on and on
Check them out on Youtube

And of course there are many religious movies as well.

Nice, The old version of The Picture of Dorian Gray is actually a favorite of mine! Thanks for the list.

I usually don't like religious movies...because many don't do the subject matter any kind of justice but there is a miniseries of the life of St. Teresa of Avila that was really good. I think it was originally through PBS, but I saw it through Netflix.

I do watch plenty of modern movies though too.

I don't think it's on there any more, but if it ever comes back, check out the BBC Miniseries of Brideshead Revisted with Jeremy Irons.
