New Takes on the Old Book
Looking for movies that deal with Christianity in new or surprising ways?
Here's a list:
1. Dogma
Two fallen angels find a loophole in the church dogma that may allow them back into heaven. Irreverant and sometimes disgusting, always funny. Alanis Morrisette plays God and Chris Rock is the 13th Apostle!
2. The Last Temptation of Christ
A new take on the man who represents the struggle between the spirit and the flesh. Stars Willem Dafoe (Jesus), Barbara Hershey (Mary Magdalene), Harvey Keitel (Judas) and David Bowie (Pontius Pilate)
3. The Decalogue
Originally made for Polish TV, each episode revolves around one of the Ten Commandments and the lives of people in a Warsaw apartment complex.
4. The Life of Brian
The Monty Python movie that is often considered blasphemous and sacrilegious, this is the tale of Brian, a nobody in Jerusalem who seems a lot like Jesus.
5. Saved!
Mary is a good girl at a Christian school. When her boyfriend tells her he thinks he's gay, she decides to save him by having sex with him. You can't get pregnant your first time, right? What follows is a funny, punchy, smart story of Mary and the misfits that surround her.

Donnie Darko must be going insane. Why else would he be friends with Frank, a giant, sinister Bunny who says the world will end in 28 days?
Enter the strange, dark world of a teenager who nearly escapes death when a plan crashes into his home, who is interested in time travel, and discover the gateways between past and present, between life and death.
Like the paranoia and end-of-the-world feeling of Donnie Darko?
Try reading Don DeLillo's White Noise.
Defending Your Life
A lighter look at the afterlife.
Defending Your Life is the tale of a man who dies in a car accident and finds himself in Judgement City, the purgatory where the fate of souls are determined.
