The Ten Commandments (with Charleton Heston and Yule Brynner) is a good one.

As far as other Christian movies, I'm not a fan. Before people start trying to lynch me, allow me to explain:

I am a fan of cinema. I have seen some absolutely amazing films -- including low budget films. I have a major beef with most Christian films. That beef? They suck. Yes, the message is a good one. But the story, writing, acting, editing, score, and directing all suck. Are there exceptions? Yes. But the vast majority of Christian films, in my humble opinion, suck.

However, this doesn't have to be. Some examples:

Passion of the Christ
The Ten Commandments
End of the Spear (a good one to check out)
The Count of Monte Cristo (okay, so not actually a Christian film, but an absolutely amazing message about God in the Jim Caviezal/Guy Pierce film)
Saints and Soldiers (again, while not actually a Christian film, has an absolutely amazing message)
To End All Wars (with Kieffer Sutherland; not advertised as a Christian film, but watch it once and you know it is. It's unlike any Christian film as it's rated R for language -- so if you're under 18, ask your parents to watch it first).

The other Christian films I've seen? Well, they just suck.

the one i recently saw at my church was Facing the Giants and the other one just with the youth group was Thr3e and i really enjoyed them both. my friend gave me Thr3e cus he had two so i was pretty excited about owning a christian movie LOL. My rents also bought Passion of the Christ.... it was really well DONE! all i could say was WOW at the end.

Thr3e has a really weird ending... other then the ending i enjoyed it!

Very awesome that you are wanting to please the Lord in all areas of your life!

Do you like animation? If you do, you might want to check out "The Prince of Egypt" and "Joseph, Kind of Dreams". They are both really good.

There's lots of Chistian movies, those that aren't great, that are okay, and are not good at all. I've seen a lot of Christian movies, and I'd recommend: The Climb, Time Changer, Unidentified, The Perfect Stranger, The Moment After Two....there's so many movies, you should be able to find some good ones. Here's a good website to check out: http://christianmovies.com

Chronicles of Narnia. :)
Facing the Giants
End of the Spear

to name a few...

Let's not forget animation. For the most part, Christian-themed animation has historically not been very good, but then Veggie Tales came along. I believe Veggie Tales has the distinction of being the first full-length CGI animation. And, although I don't think they're being made anymore, Big Idea Studios (the Veggie Tales folks) also made a series (at least three) of a really fun series called "3-2-1 Penguins."

Also, please let's not bar the gates and retreat into our Christian ghetto when it comes to entertainment. Hollywood used to make some great movies. Some of the black and white classics that really fall under the classification of "cinema" are great moral or historical tales (or just plain great stories) and I suppose the worst that a Christian reviewer could say about them would be that they do not mention the name of Jesus Christ.

Yeah, Veggies Tales are awesome. We have "Minnesota Cuke" on right now.

I love Veggie Tales(and I am almost 20)....3-2-1 Penguins also is really good. especially when you are babysitting little kids.

my favorites are Chronicles of Narnia, Facing the Giants, Extreme Days(my ultimate favorite) and I really like A Walk To Remember...it starts out so so and then goes more "christian".

Love Comes Softly Series. I like them. There's a new one that came out on DVD sometime in May.
