"Come and See" with English Subtitles

 

[SeraphimSarov]

I can vouch for Ostrov. I've seen it a dozen times. Great film.

 

[Chesterton]

I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard from several people that the new film Man Of God, about St. Nektarios, is good.

 

[Andrei D]

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a "movie" but it's quite good:

 

[rakovsky]

I made some threads on this topic:
Movies on the Writing of the New Testament
Movies on the 12 Apostles
Movies about the Book of Revelation
Movies on the Early Church

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a "movie" but it's quite good:

On this channel this movie is without Romanian subtitles. Good for those who don't understand Romanian.
LIFE OF SAINT JOSEPH THE HESYCHAST THE MOVIE - YouTube

there is also the recent Man of God about St Nektarios.

Has anyone seen Hitchcock's film I Confess? It's about a Catholic priest refusing to break the seal of confession. It's not Orthodox, though.

It's really good. IMHO.

 

[ArmyMatt]

no, but that sounds very interesting.

 

[ArmyMatt]

don’t forget the Hollywood classics like Quo Vadis, The Robe, etc.

Yeah, Quo Vadis IS good.
But those blockbusters tended to make the "Christian message" about freeing people from slavery in this world, rather than repenting of one's own sins and changing. The talk is about "freedom" in a decidedly secular sense. The arena scenes do undercut the secular message put into the mouths of the actors - Christian martyrs are the most powerful witness to the truth, and one aspect of that is that it is not this world that we are to desire.

that’s why I mentioned The Robe as well.

 

[rusmeister]

Never saw that one.

 

[ArmyMatt]

Never saw that one.

it’s about the centurion commander who led Christ’s crucifixion.
