I don't know why I thought of this today but ....
I'm guessing just about everyone on the forum knows of or has seen the movie The Way. I saw it after my second camino - enjoyed it very much and thought the Estevez / Sheen son and father captured quite a lot of the spirit of The Way.
But my favourite Camino movie - ok I only know of two - is a 2005 French film titled 'Saint Jacques la Mecque'. My French pilgrim husband told me about this movie in the first days after we met. And some years later he managed to find a digital copy online. I've watched it a few times - in French with English subtitles. While much of the movie takes place on the Le Puy way before crossing over the Pyrenees - the whole film could as easily be in Spain. This is very much about the lessons we can learn by walking The Way. I won't give away any of the characters or story - but if you can find a copy, and you have a couple of hours to spare - I highly recommend it.
Wonder if anyone else has seen this film?
