Drama wise, I love "Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison" and "Black Narcissus". Yep- Deborah Kerr was the best nun.... 
Comedy wise, ya can't beat "Sister Act". Ah, just to see Dame Maggie Smith's facial reactions to Whoopie...priceless.

Posted: 9/2/04 at 7:15amBERNADETTE. It's a the French movie based on the life of Bernadette Soubirous. I saw most of it last week in Lourdes but the projector broke down one third of the way through it. Will have to scour E-Bay for an American-compatible video. What I saw was magnificent. It was far more accurate than THE SONG OF BERNADETTE (which I love).

Posted: 9/2/04 at 8:51amI've always thought that Song of Bernadette would make a wonderful musical - even the name sings...it is such a beautiful and touching story. I cry every time I see it.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

Posted: 9/2/04 at 3:08pmJean and Walter Kerr turned SONG OF BERNADETTE into a musical. It played in London and was an ignominious flop.

Have always loved "Song of Bernadette" would love to see the French movie that Dollypop spoke of.
BTW who also loved Vincent Price in Song of Bernadette? He played yet another nasty so wonderfuly!
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

Both Sister Act movies were great.
My favorite nun show on stage is without a doubt Nunsense...Amen
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Posted: 9/4/04 at 11:25pmLoved Marge Redmond in THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS (the math nun who teaches math through horse racing.) She was also on THE FLYING NUN.

Not to kill the happy theme, but "The Magdalene Sisters" is an excellent (but not in the happy sense) movie.
On to the happy movies. I love Sister Act. And Sound of Music. And that's all I know of that I've seen.

Posted: 9/5/04 at 6:41amOMG I don't think I've ever been so moved by a movie the way "The Magdalene Sisters" moved me. It was....definitely an experience.

I need to see "The Magdalene Sisters".
I remember being shocked when I saw "The Nun's Story".
She didn't sing and wasn't funny and I was not sure she was going to live happily ever after.

The Nun Story with Audrey Hepburn. The best movie about nuns and Catholicism I've seen.
Black Narcisiss is pretty good too, albiet pretty creepy.
"I've got to get me out of here
This place is full of dirty old men
And the navigators and their mappy maps
And moldy heads and pissing on sugar cubes
While you stare at your books."

I go to Saint Mary's College.
Our mascot?
We're the Belles.
So I have to say "The Bells of Saint Mary's".
But yeah, I love "Sister Act".
And "Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit"
And the "The Sound of Music".
Does "Mermaids" count?
Or "Mommy Dearest"?
How about "Superstar"?
I starred in a short film called Magnetic Personality. Check it out!

This is an old thread that started before I was even posting... but I would just like to weigh in now and agree with bwaylover that "Black Narcissus" is the BEST for drama, and one of the most beautifully, hauntingly photographed movies ever made (by legendary cinematographer Jack Cardiff of "The Red Shoes" fame).
And of course, the Sound of Music!
