Any good books or movies about conversion and/or The Church
I'm a Protestant and am looking into Catholicism. I'm not sure maybe it's God tugging I just have a desire to find out more about my faith. I'm just looking for any works to start off reading or watching about conversion or the Church in general.

Re: Any good books or movies about conversion and/or The Church
here's a few good reads:
born Fundamentalist, born again Catholic by David Currie
Rome sweet Rome Our Journey to Catholicism - Scott Hahn
Suprised by Truth- 11 converts give the biblical and historical reasons for becoming Catholic - Patrick Madrid

I am also a Protestant looking into Catholicism. In addition to the resources the others have posted you might find a book titled If Protestantism is True an interesting read. I am currently reading that one myself. It is written by a guy who was once a Baptist but ended up converting to Catholicism. It discusses his faith journey and his findings as a result of his personal research into his Protestant beliefs.

Re: Any good books or movies about conversion and/or The Church
Here are two that I have really appreciated:
The Pillar of Fire. ( An Autobiography) Written by Karl Stern
Edith Stein: St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (A Biography) Written by Marķa Ruiz Scaperlanda
Both of the subjects of these books found Catholicism through Judaism.

Catholicism for dummies was recommended by my deacon when I expressed my desire to covert from the Methodist church

2nd this. Such an amazing writer. I credit him as one of the people who led me back to Catholicism (it was his Life and Holiness though).
