Also good film (when you are too tired to do much else) is ‘Faith Like Potatoes”, which you can see (72 minutes at a time) if you sign up here http://perfectwisdom9.clicdev.com/f/index.php?trk=perfectwisdom9&; then see Christian Movies List

As far as recent Christian films go, none can compare with Bella. I bought it on DVD (after I'd seen it in the theatre) and I loan it to friends.
It stars Eduardo Verastigui, a former Mexican soap opera star (a true life "hunk") who gave up his secular pursuits for a life of spreading the Christian message.
An indie film, Bella was sponsored by the Knights of Columbus, among others including Gov. & Mrs. Jeb Bush. It's well worth seeing.
Our famly loved Facing the Giants and Fireproof.
I highly recommend “Point of the Spear”, the story of missionaries in South American jungle converting an extremely violent tribe of indians.
Stunning movie.
Courageous, for those who don't know, is going to be about a group of police officers who are pretty good at what they do...but in the role of a father, they've got struggles. After tragedy strikes, one of the cops has a wake-up call about his role as a dad, and he gets his friends, as well as a civilian neighbor, to commit to being the kind of fathers God has called them to be.
The Kendricks keep cranking out fantastic films with a great message. I have no doubt Courageous is going to be even better. I won't be able to go on opening day, but I'm going to see it some time in the first week.
For those who want to see it, here's the TRAILER.
“Fireproof... was made for a relatively ambitious $500,000; its $33 million box-office take beat that of Milk, Sean Penn’s Oscar-winning biopic, and the George Clooney comedy Leatherheads.”
Wow, I’m impressed. Not so much about Leatherheads, but about the Harvey Milk picture. I probably never would see that movie, but I have to say that from the ads it looked like Penn gave a great performance in it. (Oh please, don’t flame me!)
Sort of on topic - does anybody remember the little tv dramas that were produced by the Mormon Church, they were probably 1/2 an hour long, maybe even 15 minutes?
Some of them were great. Hubby always talks about one he saw with John Astin in it, he always says its one of the best things he ever saw, and he pretty much watches EVERYTHING.
I don’t know why they stopped making those, I can’t really remember any in particular myself, but there were as good as anything, much better than many things, on TV.
I wonder if they actually heard about this guy or they thought they were making the plot line up.

“Facing the Giants” is one of my favorite movies. “Flywheel” is good, too. I didn’t care for “Fireproof” - a Christian chick flick is still a chick flick. I will go and see “Corageous” when it comes out.
