Movie Meme - Can you guess the titles to these movies? Updated

The Curt Jester tagged me with the movie meme.

The rules are:

- Go to IMDB.com and look up 10 of your favourite movies.
- Post five (5) official IMDB "Plot Keywords" for these 10 picks.
- Have your friends guess the movie titles.
- Then tag three people.

1. killing snake, mother-son relationship, sacrifice, trial, scourging

2. 1940's, small town, drug store, bell, Christmas

3. Austria, Nazi, convent, Baroness, singing nun

4. 1900's, trolley, world fair, New York, St. Louis, Missouri

5. Irish American, Broadway New York City, playwright, Patriotism, WWI

6. based on novel, lawyer, African American, murder, small town

7. holy vision, 1850's, France, miracle, nun

8. snow, fur coat, young girl, self sacrifice, lion

9. Friendship between men, rain, tap dancing, dancing in the street, chorus girl

10. Tennessee, farm, WWI, conscientious objector, Appalachia

I tag the following three people: Esther, Leticia, and Jay Anderson. Also, anyone else who is interested in this meme, help yourself.

Now, can anyone identify these? I will give you a hint - most of these are classics.

*** Update: Since 5. is difficult and no one has guessed it yet, here's two more clues: dancer, Vaudeville.

    You guys are good! I don't want to reveal the answers just yet, but there are two more clues for # 5. I saw this movie at my Catholic grade school and it made me want to get up on my desk and dance. Fortunately, I didn't follow through with that idea.

    Shucks, Jean! Too bad I didn't see this post earlier! I actually knew "Yankee Doodle Dandy", I saw it as a girl and it made a deep impression on me, being Irish American, and just saw it for the second time recently.
    Thanks for the tag!

The Spirituality and Miracles of St. Clare of Assisi

Image
August 11 is the memorial of St. Clare, one of my favorite saints. She was the first woman to follow the life of radical poverty practiced by St. Francis of Assisi and is the co-founder of the Poor Clares. Although I am not a Franciscan, I have had Franciscan friends, clergy, and spiritual directors instruct me on the beauty of St. Clare's spirituality. I have also learned a great deal from reading about her over the years. Clare and Francis (2007) is a film which depicts the fascinating story of her dramatic conversion and surrender to the will of God. St. Clare is the patron saint of television. She is also the patron of eye disorders, embroiderers, good weather, and telephones. The Contemplative Life The Lady Clare was born into a noble family in Assisi in 1193 and was admired for her great beauty. When she heard Francis of Assisi preach his Lenten homilies at the Church of San Giorgio, she was captivated by his words. At age eighteen, she heard him say: "When the

Saint Michael de Sanctis: Patron of Cancer Patients

Image
Today is the feast of Saint Michael de Sanctis, also known as St. Michael of the Saints, a Spanish Discalced Trinitarian priest, the patron of cancer patients. Michael Argemir was born on September 29, 1591 at Vic, Catalonia, Spain. At age 6, he told his parents that he planned to become a monk and began modeling his life after Saint Francis of Assisi. Michael’s parents died when he was about ten years old. He then served as an apprentice with a local merchant. During this apprenticeship, he continued his fervent devotion to the Lord, especially to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the age of 12, he joined the Trinitarian Friars at Barcelona, taking his vows at St. Lambert’s monastery in Saragosa four years later.  Shortly afterwards, Michael expressed a desire to join the reformed group of Trinitarians and was given permission to do so. He went to the Novitiate at Madrid and, after studies at Seville and Salamanca, he was ordained a priest. Twice he served as Superior of the hou

St. Raymond Nonnatus, Patron of Expectant Mothers, Midwives, and Newborn Babies

Image
The saint of the day for August 31 is St. Raymond Nonnatus. He is the patron of expectant mothers, midwives, obstetricians, infertile couples, and newborn babies. Raymond was born at Portella, Catalonia, Spain in 1204, the son of wealthy parents. He was delivered by cesarean section when his mother died in childbirth. Hence his name non natus (not born). In his childhood, he seemed to find pleasure only in his devotions and serious duties. His father, sensing that Raymond was drawn to religious life, ordered him to manage one of the family farms. Raymond readily obeyed but spent his time with the shepherds and workers, studying and praying until his father abandoned the idea of making his son a worldly success. Raymond later joined the the Order of Our Lady of Mercy or the Mercederians, which was founded by St. Peter Nolasco, who devoted to ransoming Christians captured by the Moors. He succeeded Peter as chief ransomer and went to Algeria to ransom slaves. He remained as hosta
