This book is a great resource for reflection and discussion on movies using the Church's Sunday Scriptures. It uses Cycle A. A short summary of the movie, commentary, key scenes to focus on using the Gospel of the day and a prayer at the end. I read it by myself and enjoyed but I can see how reading in a group will enhance the experience.
