(well, it's more fun than housework)
Your Favourite Film?
Tricky one. My all-time favourite film has got to be Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ. I saw it at the cinema nine times. And then I bought the DVD. It's only a tricky one because of the next category...
Your Favourite Film with a Religious theme?
Umm... I suppose that I can't have the same film as last time? OK, I'll plump for Bernadette. It's actually a French film, directed by Jean Delannoy, and starring Sydney Penny. They shot the film on location, and used local Pyrennées actors.
Your Favourite Film Priest?
I guess that has to be Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty (played by Gregory Peck) in The Scarlet and the Black.
Your Favourite Film Nun?
Well, since I only know of two film nuns, it's an easy choice. It just has to be Bernadette (played by Sidney Penny) but I'm not cheating - it's in the sequel: The Passion of Bernadette because she isn't actually a nun in the first film!!
(The other nun was Maria in The Sound of Music which doesn't really count !)
Ok, I shall tag the Catholic Cavemen, the Scorpion Stalking Duck and Orthfully Catholic.

Oooh. What a fantastic meme!
I second you having Passion as your favourite film. My favourite with a religious bent is Karol: the man who became Pope.
My favourite on-screen priests are both Fr. Tomasz Zaleski, and Fr. Wojtyla in Karol. Nuns... I haven't seen too many on film, so I can't judge.
I interpreted 'favourite film with a religious theme' as being favourite film that isn't explicitly religious but...' otherwise I would have said The Mission!
Otherwise, I'm glad you enjoyed the meme.
And while I am here Happy Christmas!!!
Thank you!
Merry Christmas, and may the New Year bring you peace and joy.
