Hollywood nearly always pans Christian films.  However, in all honesty, one reason for that is that many
Christian films are truly, terribly bad.  And I say that as a Christian.

What are you talking about? SPARTACUS? the TEN COMMANDMENTS? Was Ben Hur a bible story?
I dunno.
All the old Universal horror films were very religous.  The cross always kept the vampire away.
And when Henry Frankenstein tryed to play God-he got f**ked.

Fifty years ago it was a very different story. Hollywood had a different attitude, and those films were of much better quality.
And there are some modern faith-based films that defy the stereotype.  But there are a LOT of low-budget Christian films -
and some not-so-low budget - that are absolutely terrible!!

Left Behind is a huge business. I agree with one take on Revelation I read which is that unless you think Jesus is actually a 7 headed lamb or whatever it should probably be taken as just symbolic

I liked the books better than the movie, but I still didn't finish the series.  It's just one interpretation among many.

I saw two good Christian-themed films this year: OVERNIGHTERS (documentary) and CALVARY.

Most of the "inspirational" films are terrible because they put message first, quality second.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

I'm a little disappointed that God's Not Dead isn't on here. That movie was way more than just a Christian movie, it's anti-atheist, anti-islamic, hate speech.

Olivia Bauer

And it has Kevin Sorbo in it.

F**k 'em.

I loved that particular film.  "Hate speech"? Really?
I realize you are an atheist and will object to the film's message, but
I saw nothing hateful about it.  The depiction of how Muslim families
react if their children embrace Christianity was painfully correct, perhaps
even understated.  In much of the Islamic world, converting to Christianity
carries a DEATH sentence.  So having a father slap his daughter and
throw her out of the house for converting is not out of line at all.

God's Not Dead strawmanned atheism by making us look like douchebags that hate god.

I do not hate god, I think he's a fictional character. It agitated the s**t out of me. Yes it's hate speech, it's no better than a Chick Tract.

I shouldn't have hijacked the topic, and I apologize.
I would enjoy continuing this conversation via PM.
In the meantime, how about those HUNGOVER GAMES, guys?

I don't know what that is and I don't want to know. Just from the title I'm getting a "Friedberg" feel from it.

Wheres the tornado movie-have any you folks seen the tornado movie? INTO THE STORM? What a mess!
Just shows-special effects can be great-but if it sucks-no amount of cgi can save this piece of s**t.
Its like EARTHQUAKE without actors.

I saw some cool little Christian movies on netflix. well cool maybe not the right word but enjoyable.

C Me Dance remains just about the worst movie I've ever seen. It was such a huge disaster, nothing was done right and it had no charm just ...Zonk!
