Movies of Note
9:07 AMUnfortunately, it is hard to find movies like this unless you are willing to put up with gore and other things, which I am not. I like my movies to be rated G or no more than PG, and if I can find movies without romance at every turn, I really love it. Few movies are made that I just love, but I would like to share my favorites with you.
My favorite movie of all time has to be Matthew a Visual Bible production. This is a word-for-word production of the gospel of Matthew, which my family watches over and over again. There is nothing bad in it (it’s the Bible after all), though the crucifixion is bloody. But it was a powerful portrayal of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. My other three favorites are not in order. That is because I haven’t been able to come up with an order.
Facing the Giants put out by Sherwood Pictures. I am sure most of you have heard about this film and the small church in Georgia that made it. When I first heard about it I wasn’t interested, because so many Christian films are dippy and poorly made, but when I saw it I was amazed. I still get goose bumps every time I watch the death crawl scene.
In Search of the Castaways is an old, old Disney movie starring Haley Mills. I had watched it when I was real little, and we just recently rediscovered it, and it never fails to make me feel good. It is about a brother and sister whose father is a captain of a ship that has disappeared. A French man says that he found a note in bottle that will help the children find their father and that sets them of on a amazing journey.
Last on my list is The Chronicles of Narnia produced by Disney. When I saw The Lion, the Which and the Wardrobe I was amazed at the cinematography and the wonderful way they had developed the characters. I especially related to Peter, as we are both the oldest in our family and both want to keep them safe at all costs.
What are your favorite movies? I look forward to hearing from you.
