Greetings and Salivations!

Can anyone recommend some great Christian-themed movies to watch? I am familiar with all the "usuals", but I thought I would ask here and see what everyone else recommends. Even just some great family films that aren't filled with sex, violence and vulgar language. (If I wanted that, I would connect my tv to the cable plug. After all, you become like what you spend your time in.)

I turned my television off for good last July and couldn't be happier. I just use my DVD/VCR player to watch movies. That way I know what I'm getting! Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I highly recommend, "A Man Called Peter". It's an older movie from the 50's or 60's about the life of Peter Marshall. His wife, Catherine Marshall, who also writes Christian fiction, was involved in it's making. Peter gives some rousing sermons/prayers in this movie! Definitely a

I'll come back with a few of my own recommendations if this thread moves along!

Well....ironically "Bruce Almight" (though it has breif spots of language) is a shining example of God's grace...especially if you watch the deleted scenes.

Obviously "The Passion of the Christ".

Other than that...I can't think of anything.

My wife and I own the "Little House On The Prairie" TV Series. We have them on DVD, seasons 1-6, also the pilot movie. Very clean with good morals in the stories. We also have "The Waltons" TV Series Season 1. Again very clean with good morals in the stories plus strong family values.

We also have the following, "Finding Nemo", "Toy Story 1 & 2", "Bug's Life", "Left Behind 1 & 2" although we don't agree with all of the doctrine in the movies. Try looking at the Focus on the Family web site they have a section where they review movies. They break it down by violence, sexuality, langauge and other areas, it is very informative.

The Man From Snowy River is excellent, as well as the sequel Return to Snowy River. I also recommend Chariots Of Fire.

I just saw Christmas with the Kranks. It is really good.

Have you seen the movie? It displays the grace and character of God better than any other movie I've ever seen.

Big Fish....

Very good movie.

Keith,

An oldie but a goody is entitled "The Cross And The Switchblade." Was rather amazed with it upon my first veiwing of it, seeing as it was not only a story of which was set in the 60's or 70's, but also on account of the power of God within a country preacher upon city gang members...just awesome.

Another movie of good Godly power is "R.I.O.T." which involves Christian singer Carmen telling the story of a single father who is raising his two children after his wife's death. He works as a cop and ends up having serious trouble with gang members. (God/Christ play a large part in this story.) Also has some awesome music videos with more new age gospel songs.

With Love In Christ,

Danielle
