films set in convent schools?
I loved this movie, what other movies are set in convent school/catholic school?
Kate Nash is extraordinarily overrated
Brides of Christ (Australia miniseries 1991), http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101053/, which co-starred Naomi Watts in her breakthrough role.
Also, there's an extraordinary novel, Frost in May, by Antonia White, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonia_White, the first in her Frost in May Quartet. The Frost in May Quartet was made into a BBC miniseries a couple years after White's death, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0233760/episodes, but unfortunately it seems that it's never been released in video. I'd give a lot to get hold of it, but anyway, you might want to read Frost in May. The entire Quartet are available in Virago Modern Classic reprints, http://www.virago.co.uk/display.asp?K=9781844083787&sf1=ctitle& ;st1=frost+in+may&y=0&sort=sort_date%2Fd&x=0&m=1&d c=1, and in fact Frost in May itself was the inaugural publication of Virago Press in 1978.

Sister Act ll
Girls Just Want to Have Fun
A Garibaldian in a Convent
Mommie Dearest
The Mighty Macs (released in 2010)
The Countess Died of Laughter
The Bells of St. Mary's
Don't Deliver Us from Evil
I got these on Imdb "Convent School" keyword list.
I love the Bells of St Mary's. I try to watch it during the holidays...not necessarily every year.
Mommie Dearest doesn't really count because you only get a couple of scenes where Christina is coming in and going out...there are no scenes where she's actually in the convent school.
And Sister Act II doesn't count either because the school isn't a boarding school and probably couldn't be if it was co-ed.
