I was just thinking about some good movies that might make Christians cringe. Dramas like Elmer Gantry and The Apostle (a Robert Duvall gem!), comedies including Saved and The Life of Brian... then there''s Dogma, which almost defies categorization as a comedy but is funnier than hell. Anyway, those are some of my favorites. Yours?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Inherit the Wind was on......Gene Kelly as HL Menken I always find odd, he's good but it way out of his norm.
Claude Akins as the crazed preacher I'm sure ruffeled some feathers

The movie Stigmata comes to mind. Apparently the Catholic Church was MOST upset with it.

"Marjoe" is a fascinating doc. about an ''evangelist''....Marjoe Gortner was raised to be a child preacher and, after becoming disgusted with himself, participated in this film. I believe it's on YouTube.

@gryzlybear you should watch the film
The Life of Brian is practically a must-see for agnostics/atheists!! All others should be chained in front of it!

Thanks, gryzlybear. I have watched all of those, except Dogma. Didn't think of them as a way to annoy believers. I'll go look for Dogma on Netflix now.

I was in "Elmer Gantry" in the street scene of the band marching into Zenith; I was in the first row of trumpets - right end.

Alyssa Morissette's nose tweaking is classic theist answer
