Open Up - God in Film

Have you ever seen a film that has revealed something of God to you? Film critic Jeffrey Overstreet told us that we can "glimpse transforming truth through the beauty of art - if we put aside fear and judgement and look with ‘eyes to see’." Which films have spoken to, challenged you or changed you? Which films have shown you something of God, something of goodness, something about spirituality or the Christian faith?

Maybe ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ gave you a greater appreciation of freedom. Maybe the ‘Wizard of Oz’ taught you something about following a certain path in life. Maybe you watched ‘Titanic” and had a feeling that life is unpredictable and to be ready!

The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Schindler’s List, A Space Odyssey… the list of great films goes on and on. But  is there one film that’s had a particular impact on you?
