What is your favorite Christian MOVIE and why?
I really like the Left Behind movies because of the truth in it.

I like the Left Behind movies, too. My dad owns them all :-)
But my favorite would have to be Veggie Tales!!!

The Gospel of John is awesome and free on YouTube!
I also liked The Bible...In The Beginning starring Richard Harris.
Looking for more good movies . . .
Sorry to disagree on Left Behind. I didn't like it because they threw the bible at a mirror and a basketball at the cross. That is an insult to God and wasn't necessary to be in the movie. Plus it's not biblically accurate. Events described in the bible are much more extraordinary surrounding these events, such as Jesus appearing in the clouds, three days of darkness, etc.... They definitely could have made a better film.

Every time a Christian movie makes me cry, it is the best ever, until the next one! There are dozens tied for #1 in my opinion!!!
Undoubtedly, if you count Ben Hur, it would be the best ever!
If I have to pick #2 & #3, at this moment, I think "The Gospel of John", and "10 Commandments"!
Rounding out the top 10 Christian movies in history may be:
(in order of release year)
Chariots of Fire (1981)
Places in the Heart (1984)
The Mission (1986)
Dead Man Walking (1996)
Signs (2002)
The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-2003)
The Passion of the Christ (2004)
I think "SIGNS" is the best of those last seven (#4 over-all IMHO)!!!
Jesus began many of his parables with the phrase, "The kingdom of God is like ..."
It is generally agreed that "Places in the Heart" is a metaphor for the kingdom of heaven.
Nowhere is this communicated overtly. It is suggested through the film's system of metaphors and reinforced by its enigmatic ending.
It is said that non-Christians make the best Christian films, because they understand that cinema is an art form of symbol and metaphor.
When Christians make a Christian film, they tend to be too obvious in their message, so unbelievers may refuse to see, and only believers are touched.
There is nothing wrong with films FOR believers.
But I like there to be more subtle movies, here God is an unseen character (like in real life), like 'Narnia'.
Such subtle Christian messages have the ability to melt the unbeliever's hard "heart of stone"!

The Passion of the Christ.
The Left Behind movies are only one possible interpretation of end times and should NOT be taken as "gospel."

I also like Left Behind. But I think I like Facing the Giants the best.
Passion of Christ was so graphic, too much for me. But I bought the DVD, so when I watch it again, I can have more control of when I need to have it silent.

Life of Brian is great but I also liked Oh, I cant remember the name! The one with , I can't remember! Brain freeze.
How could the left behind series be truth if it hasn't happened?

I have two: "Romero" and "Jesus Christ Superstar."
"Romero" is the story of a priest in El Salvador (Reagan years) who is elevated to the post of Archbishop and gradually becomes involved in the struggle for freedom against the oppression of El Salvador's right-wing dictatorship. It is extremely well-made.
"JCS" is a late-60s or early-70s rock-opera which tells the story of Jesus's last week on Earth from the point of view, mostly, of Judas Isacariot.
I showed both films to my religion classes the one year I taught religion in a Catholic school. The school administration let me teach science and math after that.... =)
