The Vatican Film List
Last night, I watched Thérèse (1986) [not the more recently released Thérèse: The Story of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux]. I doubt any actress could top Catherine Mouchet's portrayal of the sanctity and simplicity of Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus, not to mention her uncanny resemblance to "The Little Flower."
The film is among those chosen by the Vatican to be on its list of "Some Important Films," made on the 100th anniversary of cinema in 1995. Here are the ones I own, most of them bought here in Korea in bargain bins, or have seen, categorized as the Vatican did by "Religion," "Values," and "Art:"

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
