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

But there are so many good movies too. I respect your opinion, but I don't think it is all bad.

I used to watch a lot of movies. There was only one director who made what I considered to be true art. He was the Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu. My favorite films of his were called "Tokyo Story" "Late Spring" and "Early Summer". I used to own them on DVD. There is no immodesty and they are not sɛҳuąƖ though they are often about marriage. Although since he was not a Catholic and none of his characters were Catholic, his films are pagan, though I believe they are truly artistic paganism, like Homer or Virgil. Other than him, I would say nearly every film I watched was either trash, or well executed immorality.

But I got rid of all of my DVDs and now I do not often watch vulgar movies anymore, even Ozu. I still watch videos on youtube, mostly Catholic sermons or conferences. Actually I must say every once in a while I watch a movie that I believe is safe for recreation, but very rarely, maybe once a year. And I do not miss movies. If I have two hours of free time I would rather spend it in spiritual reading or praying three rosaries.

Thanks for the input Matto. Do you have any favorite YouTube channels?

I watch some of the traditional Catholic channels. Sensus Fidelium is good, though they are FSSP oriented. Traditional Catholic Sermons is good if you are a sedevacantist. WCB Ohio has good videos by SSPV priests. There are others which have a few good videos here and there, especially if you are interested in the resistance priests and Bishops which you can find by searching for the priests or bishops by name.

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