God used the Gospel of John movie to draw me to Himself. I can't believe it. In 2013 my parents were watching the movie and I walked through the room and heard one verse, "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him." It scared the daylights out of me and made me realize I didn't know what the Bible said. Three days later, I watched the DVD myself and God brought me to repentance and faith in Him.

O my what a wonderful testimony! Thank you See how powerful the Word is! His word created the world. He leaves us His written Word, a book of love & instruction to encourage & protect us. And Christ IS the Word in the flesh He said heaven & earth will pass away but my Word remains forever! So what could be more important. Please reader pick it up & just read Matthew out loud and feel the bad stuff go away in the presence of that power.💖 Love from GreatGramma.

I met Rev. Wurmbrand in person about 1967. His humility is surpassed only by his undaunted faith in Jesus Christ.

And also "Flywheel" by the Kendrick Brothers. About a corrupt auto salesman who didnt have time to spend with his kid and rip off his customers until one day he became converted through the gospel preached, he sought forgiveness and try to make it right with the customers he ripped off and also paid off or canceled the car debt balance that a single mother with kid undergoing financial hardship didn't expect and was grateful. He transformed his auto business. One of his co workers chose to quit on him and join other car dealership that continues to rip off people. He would not give up and close to the end the customers rallied and gave him support because he was honest. He started having more time with his kid. What a movie. Flywheel is a must-see!!! Moving.

I'm glad to see The Nativity Story up near the top. I never went to see it in theatres because I find most "Christian" films lacking. Most have a heaping helping of cheese. However, one Christmas four years ago, I gave in and watched it. I absolutely loved it!!! It really made you realize just what Joseph must have gone through. No cheese, just great acting. I noted with interest your omission of The Passion of the Christ. I have a love/hate relationship with that film. While I find it excellent in some respects, and especially love that it was an attempt to be ultra accurate, even down to Mel wanting it to be in the original language with subtitles (which I would have loved), I find I cannot go back and watch the entire film over again because of the violence, and the film puts too much emphasis on the physical suffering of Christ, without the context of what it meant. My last comment is about Fireproof. Let me first state that I have massive respect and admiration for Kirk Cameron and his sister. I love them, but honestly, this was one of those Christian films with far too much cheese. You can see it in the clip you showed. The acting, the dialog, the cinematography....? Not sure which is responsible... Maybe a bit of all of it, I am not sure, but the end result doesn't feel natural. It feels forced and cheesy.... Like it's trying too hard. Pretty good list. I think I will revisit Ben Hur. While I don't feel like an actor portraying Christ is breaking the second commandment, I do agree that there is a certain power in the director not showing the face of Christ. It really makes that scene. That's my thoughts. Happy New Year everyone!!!

The most obvious and surprising omissions from this top 10 list of best Christian movies are Franco Zeffirelli’s phenomenal miniseries Jesus of Nazareth (which totally OWNS The Chosen, by the way!) and The Passion of the Christ, but The Robe should definitely be on here too. I would also add Courageous, which is still the best-made Kendrick Brothers film, and October Baby, which is also excellent.

Another movie I would highly suggest is "End Of The Spear" put out by Every Tribe Entertainment. It's based on a book by the same name by Steve Saint, son of one of the five missionaries killed by the Waodaini (Auca) tribe in 1956. Jim Elliot, probably the more prominent missionary from the book "Through Gates of Splendor," was one of them.

End of the Spear was great.

Great selection. Todd is a real softie. 😀

When I was a new Christian, I bought and watched the Gospel of John so many times. Thank you.

"A Hidden Life" the story of Franz Jagerhutter. Martyr. "Bonhoeffer" ( 2003 ) I cannot quite handle portrayals of Jesus, as in "The Gospel of John" or "The Visual Bible". It's impossible for any actor even with modern film techniques to capture His essence, as sincerely as it may be attempted. It is always less than the reality. Awkward. But I will concede that they have a place. And, how about Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ"? Stunning. Profound.

As for myself, I try to avoid watching movies that have a member of sinful mankind portraying my sinless and holy Savior, or movies that try to portray God Himself in a frivolous manner. They may be produced with good intentions, and they may be of very high quality, but I have been guilty of watching them in the past. And I must confess that I have broken the second commandment many times, ironically offending the God who died for me. Father forgive me, for I knew not what I was doing.

A hidden life is a masterpiece

Thanks, Todd!

Love the visuals Mark and John. Puts you in that atmosphere. For me, John is awesome! I just love the serious and direct portrayal of the missionary aspect of Christ ministry.

The book of acts was an excellent movie, word to word...3 plus hours I had my Bible open the entire time.

For something current, I would recommend "I Heard the Bells" which was released December 1 and tells the story of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's life and inspiration for the well-known poem. Very inspirational - and the first movie production by "Sight and Sound" based in Lancaster, PA.

Sight and Sound in Ronks PA is a once in a lifetime experience and worth putting on your bucket list. JESUS in 2019 was sensational!

Dear Brother Wretch! Spot on with # 1's!!! Anytime someone asks me to recommend a movie about Christianity, I pick one of those two, if not both of them. As a family, we've been watching them for years and I have used them to personally evangelize many people who wouldn't listen to me, until after seeing them. Powerful tools! Keep up the great Kingdom work. Merry CHRISTmas! Love ya bro! >

Love it , will try these movies

For another old (but much less known) classic, I really like Barabbas.

“Secrets of Jonathan Sperry” probably my favorite Christian movie.

God bless you, sir.

Do You Believe is my favorite Christian movie. I recommend this to anyone looking for a solid Christian movie with great acting and plot!

I just loove fireproof. It's a great story about forgiveness and love. Watched it already 10 times.

Early Wretched Fam!

I am shocked you didn’t pick Passion of the Christ in your top 10 Edit: I didn't know it was Catholic. I watched it when I was teenager in a protestant church. It was memorable to me because it brought to tears over the brutality Jesus endured. It made appreciate the gospel even more. Really!

It was fantasy. Catholic mythology. Anti-biblical.

I love the two movies with Charlton Heston. Beautiful epic productions. I also loved "Fireproof", a great movie. Another movie I have always loved that was not mentioned--Quo Vadis (also a novel).

The Ten Commandments and Ben Hur are amazing! 😍 they're literally some of my favorites!

I would add “Risen” to the list. It is fiction, Joseph Fiennes plays a Roman official who chooses to follow Christ after his resurrection. Quite a bit of theatrical license, but a very good film and well acted.

Todd's imitations are so funny.

The excellent book PEACE CHILD by Don Richardson should be put to film!

I have seen most of these and do also like them. I always get goose bumps when Jesus said before Abraham was I Am...

Chariots of Fire? Eric Liddel , olympics, standing for convictions..."when I run I feel God's pleasure"...gotta include it!!

I also enjoyed The End of the Spear, courageous, and Facing the Giants.

'The Hiding Place' has a sequel, 'Return to The Hiding Place', it is also a great movie.
