I think the movie BATAAN has a scene with Robert Walker praying right before he's killed...but I can't remember if he's actually praying or if it's just a prayer-like moment. Also SEVENTH HEAVEN with Jimmy Stewart right before he loses his sight. On Feb 20, 2012, at 9:42 AM, lj frezza wrote:

As I recall, there's an interesting although brief sequence of soldiers participating in a post-battle mass in Apocalypse Now. I believe it happens after one of the two battles featuring Robert Duvall's character. I remember it being pretty loaded visually, with a lamb (or maybe a calf? )
