Christian based movies

About 75 to 80% accurate. Some hollywood flavor was added in.

The movie "Jacob" was about 75 to 80% accurate also.

(We are expecting to get "Joseph' and "Samson and Delilah" from "The Bible Collection this week, and "Moses" at a later date.

Thank you. I'll look forward to hearing about those also.

I watched In The Blink of An Eye the other night. I thought it was pretty good. End times themed movie about a detective and his wife on a vacation that turns into a nightmare.

Here is a preview I found on youtube

Yes, that was a surprisingly good movie - and quite suspenseful!

My wife and I just watched the movie "Joseph" (1995) from TNT's "The Bible Collection."

Movie was rather lengthy. (3:05) I would say it was 65-70% accurate.

My wife and I did enjoy watching it.

My wife and I just watched the movie "Abraham" (1994) from TNT's "The Bible Collection."

Movie was rather lengthy like the last one. (3:06) It covered Abraham's life from the time he left Ur of the Chaldees until he was stopped from sacrificing Isaac on the altar.

Several things in it that were contradictory to the Word.

My wife and I just watched the movie "Samson and Delilah" (1996) from TNT's "The Bible Collection."

The movie was just under three hours. (2:58) It covered Samson's birth through his death. Hollywood added a lot to the Biblical account, as usual.

It's a shame Hollywood seems to feel the need to add their own stuff to Bible stories. So many Bible stories are filled with more than enough adventure, sometimes romance, bravery, great story lines and even wickedness that they could most certainly stand on their own.

I agree. Sadly though, it will continue. The world has no problem with exchanging the Word of Truth for a lie.

I bought Early Warning, Dial tone, and Gifted Hands the other day. Have not had a chance to watch them. Anyone seen them?

Have Dialtone in my Netflix queue. They don't offer the other two.

Just watched "Candle in the Dark" (2004). 94 minutes.

Excellent movie about William Carey, a Baptist missionary to India, and the trials he faced in bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world. William Carey was responsible for the government banning 'Sati,' the burning of widows. He also translated the Bible into 6 different languages.

Sounds interesting! A missionary couple our church supports in India mentioned some of this during their brief trip back to the states last year.

Dial tone was a lot better that I expected. I was thinking it was going to be some cheesy movie but was pretty well done. there seems to be to many Christian movies out there that are just thrown together. Which reminds me if you every feel the need to watch Worm or Pray do not worst movies I have seen.

Just watched "St. John in Exile" (1988) starring Dean Jones of Walt Disney fame. (The Shaggy Dog, The Love Bug, etc.)

Dean does an outstanding John on the Isle of Patmos in this one-man play.

Not entirely accurate, but was worth the watch.

Watched "Treasure Blind" (2008) A story of a man whose quest to find buried Civil War treasure is hindered when his blind grandson is left in his care.

Very inspiring movie.

[Standing Firm In Christ]

Watched "Through Gates of Splendor" (1967) A documentary about 5 missionaries to the Auca Indians who were killed two days after making contact with them.

Narrated by Betty Elliott, the widow of one of those who was killed.
