Brides of Christ (1991)
ten star series
This is a beautiful miniseries that had us weeping many, many time. If you love this show, you will also love Ballykissangel, and An American Rhapsody.You'll see a very young Naomi Watts, the wonderful Brenda Fricker and a young Russel Crowe. I am a Catholic, so I know a lot about priests and nuns, but if you are a non-Catholic you will find this to be very revealing about the mores of the Catholic Church and life in a convent. Even my most stoic friend-an atheist -was sobbing during the last show. My wife and I cry easily, but this baby will make any sensitive soul reach for the Kleenex. I might add that another great movie for lovers of shows about religion is Babette's Feast.
An American Rhapsody (2001)
The second(Babette's Feast is number 1) best movie of my life
If anyone can watch this heartbreaking tale without crying, you must have a heart of coal. Natasha, Scarlet, the war between Mom and daughter, the trip to Hungary, her reunion with the farm couple who adored her, oh my God. I saw this first in Santa Monica with a male friend who is a stolid and Stoic Estonian , and he sobbed. A movie of great passion and love. When I want to cry I watch it again.
