‘Dogma,’ ‘Life of Brian’: Best Movies for Christians!

At least that’s what one online list would have you believe

Christianity Today May 27, 2009

If you were making a list titled “100 All-Time Best Movies for Christians,” where would you start?

Probably not with the blasphemous Dogma, in which one character, a woman working at an abortion clinic, is allegedly the last living descendant of Christ. And probably not with the scathingly satirical (some would say heretical) Life of Brian.

And yet ChristianColleges.com has posted a list with those two films–and many more head-scratchers–at its site. The posting goes on to say that its list includes movies that “are a great way to affirm faith,” going so far as to call the films in its list “Christian movies.”

Huh? Dead Poet’s Society, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and The Last Temptation of Christ are “Christian movies”? Yowza.

Check out the whole list here.
