Lilies of the Field - 1963

It is a rarity but when it happens it is worth savoring every moment. What I am referring to is when a simple script turns into a great movie. If someone told you they were going to make a movie about an unemployed person helping nuns build a chapel, you would think that would be a dumb movie. The tension between Homer Smith & Mother Maria is more about their own stubborness than it is about their different faiths, cultures or background. They never admit it, but they need each other to fullfill their potential. 4 out of 5 stars and it almost made my list.
