Movies that feel like Marjoe (1972)
Part documentary, part expose, this film follows one-time child evangelist Marjoe Gortner on the "church tent" Revivalist circuit, commenting on the showmanship of Evangelism and "the religion business", prior to the start of "televangelism". Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2005.
If you loved Marjoe, the closest films we have are Salesman (1969), Cane Toads: An Unnatural History (1988) and The Dog (2013). All three share Marjoe's contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Hands on a Hardbody: The Documentary (1997).
