Evil priests and ministers are a modern movie cliché

Hollywood used to portray religion positively, as in The Sound of Music

HOLLYWOOD VS. RELIGION

Michael Medved, radio talk show host and author, is the host of Hollywood vs. Religion

1994; 55 minutes

Movies with religious characters raise an issue that has bedeviled Hollywood time and time again: does the entertainment industry present an unfair and unnecessarily negative view of religion and people of faith? In this provocative one-hour television documentary, PBS film critic Michael Medved examines this question using clips from more than fifty well-known movies that illustrate some of the best and worst depictions of organized faith in contemporary films.

Fascinating and disturbing.
