Books & Movies
There are other movies and books out there, so keep looking. Try the Internet Movie database. Or you could look at the movie recommendations and reviews from the Catholic Council of Bishops and perhaps do a report on movies they forbid or encourage Catholic to see. Also, Mel Gibson's Passion might make an interesting presentation as you could compare it to other Jesus movies and their appeal to Catholics.
