Dogma (1999)

As a child, Kevin Smith wanted to be a preacher when he grew up. It was only later that he realized his real dream was to tell stories in front of an audience. His fourth directorial effort, Dogma , showed that he still had a lot to say on religion, resulting in a clever and heartfelt satire that deserves to stand with other divine comedies like Life of Brian , Good Omens and Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal . Dogma ’s star-studded cast is anchored by Linda Fiorentino as Bethany Sloane, a jaded abortion counselor who is charged with a holy mission of stopping two fallen angels (Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, fresh off Good Will Hunting ) from exploiting a loophole that will let them reenter heaven and, as a result, unmake all of creation.
