Let’s face it. We see less and less good movies on a wide screen:(
It seems that all talent escapes into TV Shows like “Dexter”, “Shameless”…[/quote]
I agree in that I really don’t care that much about a celebrity’s private behavior – just the work. I want to watch entertaining, well-made movies and not dig too much into the real life behavior of the people making them.
The one I find hardest to stomach is Roman Polanski, with his drugging and raping a 13-year-old, but Chinatown and Frantic were awesome movies I will probably watch again some day while I try to focus only on the talent and not the asshole who possessed it.

I guess The Ten Commandments is on the list, or at least it used to be.
But he may be referring to the Star Wars movies (the Force) and Titanic (they had a great deal of faith that ship would never sink.)
And that remake of Fern Gully with the blue aliens had some life-force-tree/religious theme as well, as I recall, and the movie did very well.

That is what I thought. So, because there are good guys vs bad guys in movies it is religious themed? OK.
I mean Titanic (Faith) that would be a stretch.

Lord of the Rings
Narnia
Sound of Music
The Da Vinci Code
People love movies involving religion, about religion, with religion as a major part.

Can’t stand Mel Gibson. His acting has always been so overly wrought and often self conscious - bordering on cliche.
After ‘Gladiator’ was released and it was reported that Gibson had been considered for the lead role, I thanked God that it went to Russel Crowe instead.
Oh, and ‘Braveheart’ is terribly overrated.
HOWEVER… aside from a couple of minor details, I think he did a brilliant job with “The Passion of the Christ”. I was pleased he didn’t decide to play the lead.[/quote]
lol, with his ego I’m surprised he didn’t.

Really? I suppose I could see that with the Da Vinci Code, since that is a Dan Brown fiction, but Sound of Music is based around a convent, the other two are based off the story of Jesus.
The Lethal Weapon series is awesome. Too bad the man seems to be disintegrating this violently…

Personally I like Mel as an actor always have. To bad he is crazy as a loon. [/quote]

Narnia maybe but still it’s only using the story, it’s not a religious themed movie. LOTR is in no way based on the story of Jesus. Based on your classification I could just as easily say LOTR is a metallurgy documentary and that The Da Vinci Code is an art film.

Haha, I was totally joking. The only movie that I mentioned that I would consider religious is The Ten Commandments. Stuff like Avatar, Star Wars, can certainly be said to have a mystical component to them, but I wouldn’t call them religious.

I was watching this show called Canada’s Greatest Hanydman a couple of weeks ago and one of the contestants was sporting a serious mullet (and some really bad teeth). My GF informed me there are a still a lot of mulleted people in small towns in Ontario LOL.
I had figured the last mulletted guy had died out or gotten a haircut over more than a decade ago. It’s kind of like finding out a large herd of wooly mammoths survived the last ice age and are still grazing somewhere.

They should have killed Riggs at the end of LW 2 like originally planned. The quality of the movies correlates with the length of Riggs’ mullet. Look what happened to Sampson…

I knew you were joking I was replying to what BC reasoning was.
The Ten Commandments, The Passion of the Christ, Some Moses movie those are religious themed.
Saying Star Wars is because of the “Force” is reaching if that were the case every movie where someone makes a decision is religious themed due to free will.
