After I was older, having lost my religion, I saw it for the first time. The result was that I realized that my old church's brand of Christianity was not the only one out there. Gene Siskel called TLToC a great movie that had the potential to expand Christianity. It's a shame for the church that they tried to push it down instead of using it to witness to others. The movie is so powerful that I actually went back to a church for a few years after seeing this movie. Even now, it has a permanent place in my collection.

I'll even put it way above "Passion," which has long been on the list, but always, for some reason gets preempted... I'll add here that Gabriel's Soundtrack is most excellent, and been a long time top listener in my library. I hope I feel the same about the movie.
