Here is an excellent movie about Saint Teresa of Avila. It is in Spanish with English subtitles. Just ignore the commercials for Ratzinger's books before the movie starts.

St. Teresa of Avila

Quote from: Matthew

Which St. Francis of Assisi movie is the good one? I think he had several on his "to buy" list.

Sorry, I should have been specific. The 1961 movie starring Bradford Dillman is the one I was referring to. I haven't seen the later one with Mr. Bova.

Song of Bernadette is good.

The movie about St. Therese is decent, although it had it's faults. As another poster said, it is rather odd that they never show the inside of a church. On the bright side the acting is quite good, better than the average Catholic low-budget production.

Forgot to mention-I have not seen the St. Gianna movie, but several people whose opinions I trust have said that it is excellent.
