WP:OR I don't know that "spiritual" is a typical genre of film like horror or romantic comedy, but it if is, then a properly-sourced article with links that satisfy guidelines should be written. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:17, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect to List of religion films, very closely related topic.--Hongkongresident (talk) 02:27, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete While all fiction is spiritual, or at least the case could be made, the expression "spiritual film" does not seem to be notable. Don't merge since "spiritual" and "religious" are not the same thing. I don't think anyone would call "Star Wars" a religious film, although its spiritual background is well-recognized.

- Well, it depends on how you define both words. You've defined spiritual as being something ephemeral, intangible, related to the soul, which is certainly one of the senses of the word. But, for many people, as per the second sense of the word, spiritual can also mean: "2.Of or pertaining to the God or a Church; sacred". Both are acceptable usages, but I think it's better that, if a reader does look for spiritual film, he get ssomething very, very closely related like religious films, rather than a red link.--Hongkongresident (talk) 03:03, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
