We watch lots of movies in our family. Entertainment is secondary to engaging the ideas embedded in the movies. I find that for weeks following a movie my conversation with wife and kids will revisit the themes and worldviews represented in the production.
We recently switched back to Netflix from Blockbuster and I have gone through the process of rating movies I have seen in order for the interface to be able to make recommendations to me. During this process, it has been interesting for me to identify some old favorites. I share a few here, in no particular order.
Martin Luther (1953)
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
The Last of the Mohicans
The Patriot
The Quiet Man
Henry V
The Sound of Music
Braveheart
Groundhog Day
Sergeant York
Return To Me
