You overlooked one of the best, A Man For all Seasons. Religous with a backbone!!
The Gospel of John starring Henry Ian Cusick
What about Barrabas with Anthony Quinn? Far and away the best religious- themed movie!
I like "The Apostle" with Robert Duvall and Farah Fawcett..
Luis Bunuel's Nazarin should be right at the top. Bunuel, a devout atheist, was always amused the fact he could have picked up an award from Cardinal Spellman. (You'll note it's on the Vatican's list of best movies also.) It's a film that actually makes you think, not a costume drama, and can be enjoyed equally by the devout and anything-but-devout.
Quo Vadis and Barabbas are two of my favorites.
While it was billed to the viewing public as a sci-fi thriller, Signs, starring Mel Gibson and Juaquin Phoenix is really about the presence of God and his care woven into our lives - and that we must be attentive to them if we are to see them. Great as a suspense/thriller, but even better because of the strong religious undercurrents that hold the story together and give it depth.
Robby Benson was awesome in THE CHOSEN.
