‘Stigmata’ (1999)
In Catholicism, stigmata is the phenomenon that occurs when devout believers experience the wounds that Jesus Christ suffered during the crucifixion. But in the film Stigmata, Frankie Paige (Patricia Arquette) is an atheist who doesn’t believe in God. Somehow, Frankie has not only been stricken with stigmata, but she also shows signs of possession as well.
Father Andrew Kiernan (Gabriel Byrne) is sent by the Vatican to investigate Frankie’s condition. What he discovers is something that threatens the very foundation of the church itself. Frankie’s life and her immortal soul hang in the balance as Father Andrew attempts to find a way to save her from both the evil spirits within and rogue agents of the church.
Stigmata is streaming on Prime Video.

Director James Mangold (A Complete Unknown) took the bitter rivalry between Henry Ford II (Tracy Letts) and Enzo Ferrari (Remo Girone) and then made it the backdrop of his 2019 movie, Ford v Ferrari. Ford definitely wants to get payback for Ferrari’s slights, but he delegates the task to former race car driver turned automotive designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon).

To build a Ford capable of competing against Ferrari’s top racing models, Shelby turns to Ken Miles (Christian Bale), a race car driver whose talents on the track are almost equal to his ability to alienate everyone he meets.
