Top 5… Religious movies

It’s Easter so I thought this was a good excuse to do a top 5 list of religious movies. This doesn’t mean cheesy Christian films but any film where religion or faith is an important plot piece. Important exclusions  are films where there is religious metaphor. This will prevent The Matrix from making it into two Top 5 lists in a row!

Top 5… Oscar years

Last night was the 84th Oscar ceremony and I wondered what Oscar themed top 5 I could do to celebrate. Well I thought I’d go for the big one and pick my top 5 Oscar years.
