It seems like there was a spat of good, solid Christian films in the '80's. Maybe Reagan's Presidency had something to do with it.

Robert Benton's "Places in the Heart" with Sally Field from 1984 is a lovely film. The scene in church where Field's dead husband is sitting next to her always makes me cry. lol. Just thinking about that scene makes me cry. 8~)

And Steve Martin made a great little film in 1992 that didn't get much notice, but was a really nice movie -- "Leap of Faith."

I don't recall either of those films. Thank you for the recommendations!

I really liked that film.

I think you're right about not seeing anything positive from Hollywood anymore. I thought Mel Gibson's "The Passion" was very powerful, but focused too much on the physical.
