Fr. Merrin

No contest. Father Merrin all the way. "The power of Christ commands you!"scene ranks right up there with "Klaatu nicto barratu!" Words seared into memory. Never know when they might come in handy.

Dick Van Dike in "Cold Turkey". Terribly underrated movie and very funny, especially if you are a smoker.

Worst priest in a movie? Gotta vote for Christopher Reeve as Father John Flaherty in Monsignor. Pathetic movie, pathetic acting.

Honorable mention to Christopher Lambert in "Too Kill a Priest" which was loosely based on Popieluszko.

Fr. Hugh O'Flaherty played by Gregory Peck in The Scarlet and The Black. Spell-binding tale, excellent script and superb acting. His opponent was played by Christopher Plummer (be still my heart!).

On the “worst” list you can add Gene Hackman in “The Posiden Adventure”.

Although not a priest, Walter Pigeons role as Mr. Gruffyddin in,How Green Was My Valley, was stellar.

Barry Fitzgerald seeing his mother again, at the end of Going My Way

Ward Bond as the village priest narrating the story The Quiet Man.
