Patrick Madrid just found Catholic movies on Netflix. I must admit, it’s the only reason I subscribed a couple of years
ago–I didn’t want to purchase all the Catholic movies and there are very few secular DVDs I care to view! Anyway, here is his list. Do you have any more to add?
Here’s a few that I would add:
13th Day: The True Story of Fatima
Song of Bernadette
The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima
The Ninth Day (Der Neunte Tag)
The Scarlet and the Black
If you use Netflix, here are some worthy Catholic titles to add to your queue:
A Hand of Peace
A Man for All Seasons
After the Truth
Don Matteo
Father of Mercy: The True Story of Venerable Don Gnocchi
Faustina
God in China
Into Great Silence
John XXIII
Karol: The Pope, The Man
Love is a Choice
Maria Goretti
Our Father’s Plan
Padre Pio Between Heaven and Earth
Paul VI: The Pope in the Tempest
Pope Benedict XVA
Road of Hope
Saint Anthony
Saint Francis
Saint Rita
Saints and Soldiers
St. Giuseppe Moscati: Doctor to the Poor
St. Teresa of Avila
The 13th Day
The Jeweller’s Shop
The Miracle of Marcelino
The Reluctant Saint
The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius

I have a list on my blog, amazingly I don’t think any of them are on your list! http://sanctussimplicitus.blogspot.com/2010/06/catholic-life-in-cinema.html
Well, I guess there are a few of yours on my list… I jumped the gun on that before I read through it well!
Hello Colleen!
Check this site out: http://www.faithandfamilyflix.com/default.php
It is called Fath and Family Flix. Movies for the family… many Catholic films too. It’s basic rate is $9.99/month for one at a time which would be about one every five or six days or so. So maybe four to six a month. They also have a review program (Protestant, I think) called the Dove program for many of the movies.
Thank you, Maura!
That’s a great list! I’ve seen several of these through Netflix so far, but you have caused me to add quite a few more to my queue. Thanks for the recommendations!
Make sure you see “The Ninth Day”. INTENSE!!!
Unfortunately, even when you watch a number of the great Catholic films Netflix offers, they are unable to suggest a wide range of other Catholic films because there is no ‘Catholic’ subsection under their ‘Faith & Spirituality’ genre. Please encourage your fans to take a minute to call Netflix at 866-716-0414 to suggest that they add a Catholic subsection, just like they have for Jewish films.
Excellent suggestion, Colleen. THANK YOU!
Hello Colleen. My name is David Britt. My wife and I own http://www.piusmedia.com. It is a Catholic version of Netflix. We, too, were members of Netflix but struggled with the immoral content. The movies mentioned in this thread can be found on Piusmedia. In addition to Ignatius Press, we carry EWTN, St. Joseph’s Communications, and Catholic-friendly Hollywood movies. Please check us out!
