So last night I went out and saw "Constantine." For anyone who has never heard of this movie you can find the plot by clicking the following link - [link]Disney.com | The official home for all things Disney[/link].
Anyways, the movie wasin my opinion great, however I am a big fan of biblical/theological thrillers. My question is, what is your favorite theological thriller? If don't have just one list them all.

Yes, but it also doesn't have all the good stuff like depictions of angels, demons, heaven and hell.

saw it awhile ago, memory isn't fresh. Anyways lets get this back on topic... listing movies
I forgot to list some, so here goes.
Because I just saws it and loved it... Constantine. My second choice would be the ninth gate - I love the mystery plots related around religious scripture. I also will throw in The Devil's Advocate, End of Days and perhaps The Order just because it dealt with exorcisms and had demons and angels in it. I konw there is a few extremely good ones I have seen but I just can't remember them at the moment.

The prophecy is a really good movie, I agree, Christopher Walken plays that role extremely well.
-Stigmata, thats a good one. I just rented that again a few weeks ago, it's got a good storyline.
Can't say I have seen Life of Brian, I googled it and saw it was a Monty Python series, a comedy I suppose. I am more into the thrillers with horror or some battle between good and evil.

Hah, that is a good one. If you look at the movement of where movies are going - epic battles, mythological characters and heroes of ancient cultures, I think we are going to see a movie based soley on God vs. Satan come out very soon. It will probably contain epic battle scenes against angels and demons etc... As I type this however, I feel that there has been a movie like this or perhaps it's just my imagination. Anyways, I hope a movie like that comes out.

The Saint of Killers, a cowboy with two pistols and perfect accuracy. I suppose, perhaps if they demodernized him it would be a pretty good movie.
Dogma was pretty good, again a comedy but just the presence of the religious figure: angels, demons, prophits and so on make for an interesting movie.

I heard The Omen was good, I have to watch that sometime, I've never seen it. I suppose I'll look into Life of Brian now, 2 referals is good for me.

here's one I just saw, The Omega Code. I actually just watched it today, at my college we have a program that networds computers (certain folders) together and allows us to download from them at T1 connection speeds so people burn DVD's to their comp and thousands of people share the burned movies. It also allows us to download from other colleges as well so I basically can see any movie .

I've heard of Hellblazer, that site didn't give much information, are they making a movie or just another series of comics?
True, Keanu is a poor actor. However, he is casted in amazing movies. If you took a really good actor and casted them in these movies they would probably be monumental, well besides the matrix, which in fact called for a detached, "wooden" character to play the role of Neo.

is the movie title Hellblazer? I couldn't find it on movies.com.
Anyone hear about the Da Vinci Code becoming a movie, I suppose that will be really good. I also heard speculations that the Da Vinci Code was or rather Dan Browns influence was based on another novel, I can't remember the novel's title I might go digging in Amazon to try to find it. If you know it let me know, it will save me time.
