* The Archbishop's life is the basis of the 1989 film ''[[Romero (film)|Romero]]'', directed by [[John Duigan]] and starring [[Raul Julia]] as Romero. It was produced by Paulist Productions (a film company run by the [[Paulist Fathers]], a Roman Catholic society of priests). Timed for release ten years after Romero's death, it was the first Hollywood feature film ever to be financed by the order. The film received respectful, if less-than-enthusiastic, reviews. [[Roger Ebert]] typified the critics who acknowledged that "The film has a good heart, and the Julia performance is an interesting one, restrained and considered. ...The film's weakness is a certain implacable predictability."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/romero-1989 |title=Romero|last=Ebert |first=Roger |date=8 September 1989}}</ref>
