Now for something a little different:

Last week I took a concentrated course at the seminary called Theological Themes in Films. Before the class we had to watch 25 movies, some very familiar (Groundhog Day, The Matrix), some not as familiar (Whale Rider, Unstrung Heroes), and some virtually unknown to American audiences (Kolya, Central Station). As we discussed those films, we talked about different aspects of the Gospel and how these different movies “preached the gospel” (example: Groundhog Day “preached” conversion, in a sense).

We still have to write a paper about a movie or a group of movies (not necessarily on our list) that preach some aspect of the gospel. While I am trying to decide what to write my paper about, I thought I would throw it open to the BHT. What movie or movies (secular, please, let’s not have any “Left Behind:The Movie” nominations!) that you can think of communicate an important aspect of the Gospel?
