Here’s my deal with Christian films. Don’t get me wrong I love these films. I’m thankful we have clean enjoyable films out there. But…and this is a big but…Christian films seem to latch onto a message. A message that they prefer to tell then give a good story. Now, I know I’m not the only one out there that feels this way. I would like to see them work harder at making a high-quality film and give entertainment then a good message.  I know it can be done and we are all called to spread the Word. What better way to spread the Word then though a good film. So please stop making the focal point of your film be a message and  just make a movie.  Let God speak though that. I think you’ll be amazing at the outcome.

Here’s a list of films that I have enjoyed.

Star of Bethlehem (2007)

Rated NR

Delve into an astronomical mystery in this documentary about the historical star that believers claim prophesied the birth of Jesus. Could the star have been a comet or an unknown planet?

But when their car breaks down in a remote area, they find themselves in a horrific nightmare.
