My Top Christian Movies

Here is a list of my top Christian movies. I know there is only three.... I am very picky. When I say Christian movies, I don't necessarily mean movies produce by a Christian company that were trying to be explicitly Christian, though those could count. Here I'm thinking of something like Facing the Giants. Great message. Bad movie. When I say something is a top Christian movie I mean that the overall message is distinctly Christian, even though the movie producers might not have trying for that, and that the movie in general is well done: good acting, plot development, cinematography, etc.

This is my list. Let me know what you think.

3. Bruce Almighty: A movie about a man having all God's power for a week, on the surface sounds wildly heretical. But this movie actually presents what I think is a very accurate picture of the interplay between divine sovereignty and human freedom.









2. Amazing Grace: Great true story of William Wilberforce. This movie presents an excellent example of seriously contemplating how your faith can be lived out in your profession. In this case how a politician can act against societal norms (slavery) to bring about social justice.








1. To End All Wars: Awesome. This movie presents the true story of prisoners in a Japanese POW camp in World War II. This setting is the perfect representation for life in a fallen world, the need for mercy, and the salvation of Jesus Christ. Just awesome. There are so many great one-liners in this movie, and they all come right out of Scripture. (*Note: This movie is about prisoners of war and is rated R for language and violence).
