Are there any actually good religious movies?
And I don't wish to incite vitriol, but I don't require recommendations for Christian movies. Christianity isn't even a real religion, and in western culture Christian movies are overplayed and simply tacky. So I don't want to see anymore. I'd like movies featuring religions more foreign to me.

Meh. I use my guile to avoid fights. I have this neat trick I use sometimes where people knock on my door, but I don't open it. That gets them pretty much every time.
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Captain Kirk fights God
Star Wars.
I don't like the original star trek series.
I also don't like star wars.

It's a korean horror movie - main religions are Catholicism and some tribal korean shit.
okay here's a list of all religions that are really christianity:
protestant
anglican
catholic
mormon
lutheranism
latter day saints
pentecostals
jehova witnesses
probably many more
so don't give me any of this "catholic" bullshit
No. All the best Bible adaptations are Charleston Heston bullshit and they're all decades old. There was that one "The Bible" miniseries that was alright but they rushed the plot.
If there was an actual Bible adaptation with God as the MC it would be kino. New testament has way less plot and it would be a shorter story, so incorporating the two into one cohesive screenplay or showrun is kinda difficult. However, across the original and the sequel, God is still the main character; he just manifests his other forms as Jesus and Holy Ghost in the sequel. The third season would probably cover the middle ages and all the saints that came after. If they stuck to just 3 seasons and didn't go any further, the whole show would be a solid ramp-up in quality until a timely end.
tl;dr: No Bible narratives have ever been adapted well.
Also, the only adaptations I've seen of the Buddha and The Mahabharata have been absolute shit pajeet-tier filmography. Any adaptations of Eastern religion stories were done back in the '80s or '90s when Asia was still relatively undeveloped. There are no adaptations of the Quran either because the religion forbids depicting Quran characters with faces.
tl;dr: So no, you're not going to find any good religious movies from any faiths.
>No Bible narratives have ever been adapted well.
It was a really fucking good movie, but it wasn't so faithful to the source material. The Romans were the ones that always yearned to kill Jesus but never had the impetus until the betrayal of Judas. In the film, there's too much emphasis on the Jews denying their prophecies.
oh wow look it's the opposite of what I asked for. Christians sure do have a knack for endearing people to their cause by butting in everywhere they are unwanted.
If you want to start a discussion of religious movies, you can't deny the bulk of films based on the Abrahamic religions. Especially if you want to compare them to those of the shitty, shitty adaptions that Eastern studios have put out. The West and their religions had Hollywood for enacting their visions of religion onto the silver screen. Other faiths didn't have those kinds of resources.

Enlightening AND funny.
I can deny whatever I want. I'm under no obligation to listen to facts and reason simply because you say so.
I know you're trolling but I encourage anybody who's honestly curious about this subject to read Joseph Campbell, Ibn-Khaldun, and that one German guy i can't remember his name - Zizek keeps namedropping him but i can't quite remember it because i'm too drunk. Not Heidegger but the other guy.

Attached is Anthony Quinn as Mohammed's uncle Hamzah in The Message, a hugely profitable 70s movie about the beginnings of Islam. Give it a look some time.
Imagine the self-pity behind that farrago of shite. Or don't, it's probably for the better.
The Quran forbids to depict the prophets in order to prevent people from turning them into religious symbols.
e.g. Build a statue of Mohammad in 700 AD, and people will be worshipping it as an idol in 2500 AD (You're already seeing it with Christians kissing the cross and using it for protection and shit like that).
Technically, there shouldn't be a problem depicting events that took place either in the Quran or in the lifetime of Muhammad in general (see ).
But I personally oppose even doing that because any such depiction is subject to the author/director's personal biases. So there is a risk of dramatization/romanticizing.
