The site Fish Eaters has an interesting Fun Stuff page. One that I tried is "Saints and Their Symbols" matching game. I got 70% on the first try.
They also have an interesting list of Catholic Movies. How many have you seen?
The Ten Commandments (1956)*
Jesus of Nazareth (1977)*
The Passion of The Christ (2004)*
Spartacus (1960)
Quo Vadis? (1951)
Becket (1964)
Joan of Arc (1948)
The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928)
A Man for All Seasons (1966)*
The Song of Bernadette (1943)*
Thérèse (1986)
The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima (1952)
The Exorcist (1973)
The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)
Their other list is of "films with a Catholic sense of the world".
Meet John Doe (1941)
It's a Wonderful Life (1946)*
I Confess (1953)
Angels with Dirty Faces (1938)
The Dead (1987)
On the Waterfront (1954)
The starred movies are the ones I have seen. I don't think I could ever bring myself to watch either Exorcism movies. I really liked The 10 Commandments, Jesus of Nazareth & The Passion of the Christ. Definately worth renting/buying.

Blushing -- I got 20%.
ReplyDeleteThat was fun. I only got 65%.
ReplyDeleteI have seen 4 of them and will try that game out.
ReplyDeleteI am blushing too, 30% eek!!
ReplyDeleteIt was a hard quiz, that's for sure! The only reason I knew St. Rita was because that is my current parish. I was a bit surprised that St. Therese wasn't on there. Also, I thought the one holding the roses or however they said it would be Juan Diego, but it wasn't.
ReplyDeleteAll Don-Camillo-Movies are missing!
ReplyDeleteNot known in the US??????
I loved the exorcist. I do love movies that have new and interesting stuff about the Catholic faith. It is a good stepping ground for me to expand and learn more.
ReplyDeleteIt was very violent, scary and not a pretty site...so I understand why alot of people won't watch it. There is also a book about it. Which is very thought provoking too.
