You'll find  great films here. Some have won Oscars for their artistry. Some are important for other reasons, and we encourage you to look at any of these to find those reasons.
 
Film offers us a picture story that makes visible truths we know, believe or suspect but do not necessarily "see." The films listed below clearly depict various ideas on meaning, love, God, faith, beauty, truth, sin, redemption, forgiveness, and other touchstones of life.
 
Bear with us, though. We are still working on filling out this page.... We are posting information on why we think these films are important, what they teach us, what to look for. We encourage you to discuss these films with us, each other, friends, co-workers, or family. And feel free to post your thoughts on these or any other films on the Forum.
