Viridiana: A woman who wants to become a nun, gives up and does something useful with her life, after almost being raped twice. There's a mock Last Summer with homeless people that's really funny. The movie got Bunuel kicked out of Spain, because the Catholics were mad and Franco supported the church. I haven't watched Bunuel's other films (sans Belle Du Jour). Exterminating Angel sounds like it could be an "atheist" movie. He's famous for the quote, "Thank god I am an atheist."
The Wicker Man: Howie's a jerk Christian. He travels to an island in search of a little girl. He pisses on the local pagan customs. They burn him in a wicker man, while doing a Scottish jig.
Thirst- A priest becomes a vampire. There's lots of sex.
Quest for Fire= It's about cave people. Their lives sucked. They go after fire. There is cannibalism.
Crimes and Misdemeanors= A dentist kills his mistress, gets away with it. He contemplates turning himself in. Woody Allen loses Mia Farrow to a jerky Alan Alda. Woody also stuck to his principles, and he got screwed. The universe is random is basically the point of the movie, and Woody Allen thinks that sucks.
Inherit the Wind of course. We had to read and watch that one in high school.
Aguirre seems like it could be classified as an atheist movie. The conquistadors float off in to the jungle, and die.
There's a movie called Don't Torture a Duckling. It's about a priest that kills little boys so that they won't be corrupted. Not a very good movie.
Elmer Gantry is a good "atheist" book, don't know about the movie though.
I'd say Dawn of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and Night of the Living Dead were all kind of godless.

I read and then watched "The Golden Compass". Great story and moral, love it.

Funny about "Golden Compass" - I had a conversation with a teenage girl who said she didn't like it because it's Atheistic.

I asked her, "Do you mean because the author is an Atheist? Because in the books and film, god very much does exist."

She went silent. Apparently was not critiquing the book/film, but parroting Xian complaints about it.

Have to say, my favorite element above all was the concept of your soul as an animal daemon who walks around with you. Extremely, extremely cool!

The Tillman Story looks promising when it comes out to a wider audience.

I liked Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Hogfather and The Color of Magic. Of course, these were written by atheists rather than promoting atheism.

Well, it's a dark comedy called 'Saved!'...
with the guy from Home Alone. 2004.
The outtakes are something else! As absurd as it is, the movie speaks volumes.

Ooh, I liked "Saved!"
