I don't think anyone's mentioned one of my favorite theologically based movies...
The Rapture, written and directed by Michael Tolkin, starring Mimi Rogers. On a limited budget, there's only so much you can do in depicting the end of the world...but the movie isn't really, quite, about the Rapture. It's complicated. Well, just go see it, it's good. On the other hand, you might hate it, and I could respect that, too.

"I'd like to see some occult conspiracy movies that drew their macguffins from sources other than Nazis and the Catholic church."
Have you read Roger Ebert's review of Constantine?
quote:
" Strange that there is a priest, since that opens the door to Catholicism and therefore to the news that Constantine is not doomed unless he wages a lifelong war against demons, but need merely go to confession; three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys, and he's outta there. Strange, that movies about Satan always require Catholics. You never see your Presbyterians or Episcopalians hurling down demons.
[...]
Oh, and the plot also involves the Spear of Destiny, which is the spear that killed Christ, and which has been missing since World War II, which seems to open a window to the possibility of Nazi villains, but no."
