Aspect Radio #87: Top 5 Movies About Faith & Religion
Ben and Corey are joined by FilmNerds.com maestro Matt Scalici to talk about their favorite movies about or related to faith and religion.
They list the top five films that force them to contemplate their own faith or religion in general, many of which have stuck with them since they saw them as children.
Woody Allen, Francis Ford Coppola, Terrence Malick, the Coen brothers and other filmmakers often express their personal beliefs in these films, thus moving us to think about and further discuss their arguments and make our own.
Aspect Radio and FilmNerds.com contributors Graham Flanagan and Ben Stark also offer their favorite films about faith during the discussion.
This episode was filmed in front of a live audience at First United Methodist Church in downtown Tuscaloosa, as part of Ben’s dad Steve Flanagan’s six-part series “God at the Movies (And Other Platforms.”
If you want to just hear our tribute to the late Roger Ebert, we’ve cut a separate special edition of it from episode 86 to honor one of our heroes.
Joined by Aspect Radio and FilmNerds.com contributors, Ben and Corey pay special tribute to the late, great Roger Ebert, who passed away on Thursday after a long battle with cancer.
Graham Flanagan, Craig Hamilton, Ben Stark and Matt Scalici all share thoughts on Ebert’s passing and what makes the longtime Chicago Sun-Times film critic such a legend. Fittingly, Corey got the news of Ebert’s passing while in a dark theater watching a new film.
