Signs is one, though it's more of a sf comedy than anything.<BR/><BR/>One of my favorites, which I watched with my sf small group, is Donnie Darko. I believe a case can be made that it's a Catholic movie, and in fact I've read at least one review by an agnostic which did exactly that.Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144417439505262113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23675574.post-1151675987990129352006-06-30T14:59:00.000+01:002006-06-30T14:59:00.000+01:00I admit it was only a TV movie, but The People mov...I admit it was only a TV movie, but The People movie that came out in the seventies was actually not half-bad. Pretty spiritual, too. (You know, Zenna Henderson's The People stories?)<BR/><BR/>I don't remember that the Disney movie of Escape from Witch Mountain had the spiritual stuff in it that Alexander Key's novel did, but something about it haunted me as a kid. (Key was always writing novels where a child was lost in a strange world less moral than his native one, and somewhere out there, the kid's relatives were looking for him or her. Escape from Witch Mountain was along these lines, IIRC, though not as touching as The Forgotten Door.)Bansheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594214770417497135noreply@blogger.com
