The younger me would have a different list than the older me. Goodwill Hunting, The Persuit of Happiness, Forest Gump and Catch Me If You Can are memorable. As a dude I have to give honourable mention to the following franchises:
Rocky
Lethal Weapon
Lord of the Rings
Everything Marvel

I recognize the underlying messages may be far from Christian. Clearly the entertainment value far exceeds the moral value in anything that originates in Hollywood. If we are aware that all entertainment feeds the flesh and can just enjoy a movie without glorifying the content and characters it can be innocent fun. When we allow it to reshape our thoughts and morality it may be problematic. Kind of like alcohol, the effects may very on the individual.

Ahhh yess yess, the movie was tolerable; but the BBC's stayed truer to the Austenian novels.
lol actually personally I can't handle the true blue British style television, it just confuses me more than anything. Then again, I'm pretty sure being a man has left me unable to comprehend anything Jane Austen writes lol.

I agree and I agree with Stallone, Gibson, Willis, Schwarzenegger movies and Heston .. Hard to pick just 10, loved Burt Reynolds flicks too
I haven't seen a movie made since 2000 I don't think ''just no interest'' and so many were made filled with filth language in the 80's, 90's that would be great if they'd go back and edit the filth out ..
