Hollywood Movies with Strong Christian Themes:
(1) "The Mission" (starring Robert DiNiro and Jeremy Irons)
Voted the Best Movie of all Time on a spiritual theme by the British Film Academy and its musical score was voted the 27th best of all time by the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild. It is based on the true story of Jesuit missionaries trying to convert an Amazon Indian tribe, while the Spanish and Portuguese are trying to enslave them. It is a little slow paced, but its conversion scene is the most powerful ever put on the screen; and the spiritual dilemma it poses is the most profound I've ever seen in a movie.
(2) "The Inn of the Sixth Happiness" (starrubg Ingrid Bergman in what many critics label her best ever acting role)
Based on the true story of the most effective female Protestant missionary [to China] of all time, Agnes Aylward. And she had been told that, as an uneducated cleaning lady, she wasn't qualified to be a missionary!
(3) "The Shadowlands" (agreeing Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger)
Based on the true story of famed writer, C. S. Lewis's romance in later life with a former atheist who gets terminal cancer.
This very tender movie is the best movie on grief and its vulnerabilities ever made!
Christian Movies from Christian Studios [These are great, but lack the production values of the top 3 above]
(1) "Beyond the Next Mountain"
Despite its rather amateurish production values, it is my favorite Christian movie because of the amazing true story it tells about a little jungle boy from northern India who walks through the tiger -infested jungle to try to find the missionary who abandoned his tribe without giving them a Bible in their own language and without fully explaining the Christian life. Years later, this jungle boy grows up and studies to give his people the Bible in their own language--and much more!
(2) "The War Room"
The "war room" was a special closet a Christian woman used to wage spiritual warfare in prayer to regain the love and fidelity of her husband who was having an affair.
(3) "Courageous"
A great story about the trials of Christian police officers and their troubled families

I have to say I am very leery of any Christian film that has someone playing Christ with a speaking role, especially when and they are not quoting scripture but making up new dialog for Christ. Very iffy territory, disrespectful, speculative, and I think a wrong move for any Christian or Christian group to be involved in. We have all we need in the written Word of God.
