The Passion of Joan of Arc; one of the most haunting, and intense films ever made.

Ditto...

And I also like a documentary called In the Light of Reverence (2001) …

The Passion of the Christ and Jesus of Nazareth.

I'm with Pid; The Apostle is fantastic.

Obviously The Passion of the Christ is somewhere on the list, though I couldn't say where, really. The Excorcist is around there, too. Stigmata takes the cake for most disappointing religiously-themed film, in my book.

I was waiting for someone to say the exorcist and I was surprised it took this look. I didn't mention it myself because I found it dissapointing. I guess there was just too much hype built up around it.

The Exorcist or Sister Act.

I'm just kidding about Sister Act.

Before I get slaughtered, Groundhog Day's full of Buddhist philosophy - a man reliving his day over and over until he gets it right.
