    Too bad more people haven't seen this film: « Leap of Faith (1992), starring Steve Martin as Jonas Nightengale, a cynical traveling preacher who uses a secret communications earpiece and collaborators to scam people during his revival shows. »

    I do and I agree. I have met people whose strong faith in superstition has forced me to comment or suggest a movie to watch (I like "Leap of Faith" with Steve Martin, but there are many others like "Elmer Gantry," etc.).

    So I started rewatching Leap of Faith (1992) and I'm struck by how much the movie expects viewers to pick up on subtle unsaid moments. Like, the main character lies every other sentence, but you mainly see that through gestures and facial expressions, nobody ever explicitly says "hey that's a lie"

    We have had movies and musicals about it. The Rainmaker, the Music Man, Leap of Faith, Paper Moon, etc. There is even a silent movie, Miracle Man, from 1919. The difference now is that we have a major political party dedicated to conning the American people for power and wealth.

    To be clear, I largely DGAF about this woman’s obvious grift, but what the actual fuck is she wearing here? I mean the glitter suit (clearly inspired by Steve Martin’s huckster preacher in the movie “Leap of Faith”) was wild enough, but this is even weirder.

    On a complete whim, yesterday I watched a movie I have only the dimmest (fond) memory of watching as a kid on TV with my mom: 1992's Leap of Faith with Steve Martin. It holds up in a mid-budget-well-made-drama-that-they-don't-make-anynore kind of way. But, man, its view of conmen feels profound rn.

    I did enjoy Leap of Faith. Steve isn't the most biting of satirists, but it was good. Tangentially, it was the movie David Spade was reviewing in his Weekend Update segment on SNLwhen Steve showed up behind him with menacing intent. "I meant to go see it, but I was sick that day."

    I haven’t yet! My favorite one is Leap of Faith despite thinking it’s slightly lower quality than a lot of his other movies. The music is just so cool and any movie about someone coming to question their entire belief system is usually pretty well crafted. I’ll have to check out All of Me tho

    Catholics also get Silence (we can share Last Temptation), A Man For All Seasons, and Sister Act. You get Chariots of Fire, Ordet, and Leap of Faith. But, generally, the Catholic pagentry lends itself better to film.

    People need to watch the Steve Martin movie "Leap of Faith" from 1992. The film exposed the evangelical grift, the flashy tactics used to rope in the marks, and the contempt that the grifters held for the marks, years ago.

    I watched LEAP OF FAITH: WILLIAM FRIEDKIN ON THE EXORCIST (2019). Not a whole lot to say about this. It was really just a documentary with William Friedkin talking about working on The Exorcist. It was interesting though getting behind the scenes insight to the film. Good watch.

    I think that as a society, we don't talk about the Leap of Faith sequence from the first Spider-verse movie as much as we should. Like, it's not our biggest or only failure as a society, but it's definitely one of them.

    Another phrase I’m fond of simply blurting out into the social ether is from the Steve Martin movie Leap of Faith, when he yells, “Aluminum siding!” It’s apropos of nothing, and at the very least, people tend to ask me what I’m talking about, and then I get to tell them about that film. Win-win.

    Religious cons take advantage of the incurable human need for faith beyond the mundane “Leap of Faith” (1992) tackles the topic of a fraudulent traveling evangelist/faith healer played by Steve Martin. One of the trucks of his religious circus breaks down in a small town in Kansas and Jonas Nightingale (Martin) promptly takes advantage of the situation by holding a camp meeting. Debra Winger plays his assistant while Liam Neeson is on hand as the skeptical sheriff who smells a con. Lolita…
