Jesus Camp! That film terrified me because it depicted the same spiritual scene I grew up with as a teenager - uber spiritual shaking and tears and oobla doobla praying, the whole intense package ... except the film's version was centered around kids. Put an entirely different spin on the Holy Spirit and my perceptions about what is genuine.

But perhaps the scariest part of all was that home schooling scene where the kid was being taught that global warming is false because evolution is false. :shock:

Jesus Camp is a prime example of Christian indoctrination that I've spoken about. If this was a Muslim or Scientology group doing this, Americans would be screaming about it.
I don't object to the concept of a deity, but I'm baffled by the notion of one that takes attendance. ~AFF

The Mission (1986) starring Robert DeNiro and Jeremy Irons (with Liam Neeson in a minor role). Won awards for cinematography and music. Great scene on penance and forgiveness. Great conversation-starter about the proper Christian response to injustice.

Surprised no one has mentioned Keeping Mum where Rowan Atkinson does a great turn as a vicar.
