Top 100 Spiritually Significant Films
A website called Arts and Faith has released a list of their Top 100 Spiritually Significant Films. The list is not only interesting from a film lover's perspective, but from a religious studies perspective: Arts and Faith is a decidedly conservative, protestant Christian site (they praise the evangelical subjects of the documentary Hell House), and they place much value on films as diverse as Blade Runner, Fight Club, The Lord of the Rings, The Last Temptation of Christ, Dogma and even Monty Python's Life of Brian (the last received a special jury selection). It's heartening to see so many of these films considered for their spiritual significance, even by those who might traditionally be offended by the films - or believe they should be offended without having seen the film first.
