Is that blind guy in Little Nicky an evangelical preacher?
Lawnmower Man
Static (OK, more of a soapbox looney)
Dawn of the Dead (on TV).
Eric Cartman became an evangelist in order to raise ten million dollars…
as I recall.
“Surely,” I thought to myself, “surely, no one else will remember Wise Blood.” Yeah right.
Doesn’t “O Brother” have a preacher dunking vthe sirens ?
Pass the Ammo with Bill Paxton, Tim Curry, Annie Potts and um, other people. Tim and Annie play Jim and Tammy Faye types. It’s quite funny.
If you’ll allow a made-for-TV movie, then Fall From Grace with Kevin Spacey as Jim Bakker should qualify. It’s been a few years since I saw it, but it is a good demonstration of how powerful Spacey was even before the breakout Kaiser Sose role. He’s one of my favorites, and I’ve yet to see him fail in a role, even if the movie itself is weak.
The Bakker saga is one to annoy on many levels, but Spacey manages to humanize The Chipmunk without resorting to parody. Or, better said, he’s not as over-the-top as a lesser actor would go.
For my tastes, Burt Lancaster as Elmer Gantry set the standard that all others, including the magnificent Robert Duvall have tried to follow.
Nashville, I think, but it may only be a gospel revival singer.
