Vatican Best Films List

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of cinema in 1995, the Vatican compiled this list of "great films." The 45 movies are divided into three categories: "Religion," "Values" and "Art."

Religion (1-15)
Values (16-30)
Art (31-45)

25th February, 2014: The original link seems to be gone now, but I've managed to find a website containing a snapshot of the lost page, including paragraph details of each film (now added in notes).
