.....I always liked "City Slickers" with its message of hope, optimism and perseverance; love and family and friendships. It seemed to me to be a very positive, uplifting movie of life-affirming Christian values.
Also even though I believe Albert Brooks is Jewish - that great comedy with Meryl Streep "Defending Your Life" which was practically ripped from the pages of the New Testament: "Therefore each one of us must give an account of our lives to God." - Romans 14:12
So I am wondering this morning - as a Christian and a film buff - what are your favorite non-religious movies that seem to have hidden or not-so-hidden Christian themes?!?

Ghost or Ghosts with Patrick Swayzee and Demi Moore. That was something the way they portrayed death vs everlasting life. It was very meaningful- of course for me 'Ben Hur' does it for best religious.

Lord of the Rings!
The Lord of the Rings recount a pre-biblical period of the earth's ancient history -- where there are no Chosen People, no Incarnation, no religion at all -- yet from a point of view that is distinctively Christian. The characters are mythic, but the epic sweeps across a Christian moral landscape.

Mutiny On The Bounty
Fletcher Christian was a major character.
I don't think any of it has anything to do with delusions of the existence of a god though.
