The Top 10 Movies about the Saints
Rare is the saint’s biographer who can avoid these words in the first few pages of the book: “His life would make a great film!” Or “Her story was like something out of a Hollywood movie!”
Some lives of the saints seem tailored for the cinema, so inherently visual are their stories. The series of brightly colored frescoes in the Basilica of St. Francis, in Assisi, by Giotto, could be a storyboard pitch for a movie: Francis and his vision at San Damiano, Francis preaching to the birds, and so on. In his book A Brief History of the Saints, Lawrence S. Cunningham notes that there have been, since the talkies, over 30 versions of the life of St. Joan of Arc. Again, one can identify the visual elements with ease: her visions, her meeting the Dauphin, her military conquests, her martyrdom.
The lives of other saints, especially founders of religious orders, are more difficult to dramatize, since they often move from dramatic conversion to undramatic administration. It was long rumored that Antonio Banderas (the cousin of a Jesuit) was set to play St. Ignatius of Loyola on screen. But any marketable screenplay would end after the founding of t

Our list of Movies Every Catholic Should See is finished. It has taken us two years of weekly posts to get here, and I am proud to say that we have never missed a week. The goal of our project since the beginning has been to educate people on the Catholic aspects of the art of cinema. Catholics are often very aware of great Catholic art in the realms of painting, music, and literature, but cinema is often seen as a sort of second-tier art form, one which exists to entertain more than to inspire. We at Movies Every Catholic Should See hope that we have highlighted films which transcend that paradigm, films which truly reach for the Good, True, and Beautiful in their themes as well as in their technical artistic prowess. Film can be an exceptionally powerful medium, at its best combining the visual beauty of painting or photography with the moral power of drama and the emotional force of music to create an experience which can move the human heart like no other. This is why we love movies so much, and this is why we believe that filmmaking and film discussion is an essential part of evangelization in our modern world.
