It is missing Joseph: king of dreams from 2006. That was an animated film, do we include animated movies? David.Baratheon (talk) 12:19, 6 May 2022 (UTC) 12:18, 6 May 2022 (UTC) 14:19, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I had previously added the forth-coming film Carry Me Home to the list, but my edition was reverted. This film has the following features:

• It is written by
  Tim Chey (The Genius Club); the cinematography is directed by Dean Cundey ('Jurassic Park,' Back to the Future), and it's the debut of TV-Series actor Peter Cousens
  as as a movie Director.
• The cast is made up by well-known actors and starred by highly acclaimed ones such as Cuba Gooding Jr., William Sadler, and Sharon Leal
• It is culturally relevant: The plot is inspired by the story of
  negro spirituals
  .
• It is a big-budget film and highly expected to be released by several companies such as ChristianCinema.com., which present it as a"highly-anticipated" "Epic Movie". It has a description at IMDB.

Even though it doesn't have an article on Wikipedia yet, in my view this film fits perfectly Wikipedia's notability criteria. Is there any opposition? --Goose friend (talk) 00:48, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why not create an article for it then? Some of your points are irrelevant - eg subject matter. See

so no Magdalene Sisters? Thank you for the clarification. You might want to remove Agnes of God from this list, if I recall it correctly. Will Sandberg (talk) 04:51, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This film should be removed from the list. It is a Jewish film produced for Jewish people and is not part of the Christian film industry-Rainbowofpeace (talk) 22:48, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I definitely see the case for this. My recommendation would be to change the label to 'religious' movie. You bring up THE PRINCE OF EGYPT; I know way more Christians who'd consider that to be a 'Christian' movie rather than 'Jesus Christ Superstar,' which is also on the list. :DLadam11 (talk) 20:53, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! This is an excellent list - really comprehensive. Just curious if "Christian film" really encompasses what this list is? I'd suggest changing it to "religious movies," as Christian seems to imply that it was produced by a Christian organization or specifically was made to proselytize.

For example - JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR would be considered a religious film, but given its nature and its reception, at least initially, it doesn't really encompass a "Christian" film.

Just curious if we'd be able to re-label this list or what. Ladam11 (talk) 20:53, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If it was called "religious film", it would also cover other religions. Dimadick (talk) 22:08, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that Diary Of A Mad Black Woman isn't on the list tells me that this list includes films about Christianity or the Christian church, but not films made by Christian people for Christian people. And apparently "Christian Films" also contains movies hostile toward Christianity, since Jesus Camp made the list. So presumably there is a lot missing.2620:10D:C091:480:0:0:0:3477 (talk) 16:52, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Diary of a Mad Black Woman is in no way a "Christian movie" "made for Christians". PRAXIDICAE🌈 16:53, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, enlighten me how you came to that conclusion, specifically with reliable sources. PRAXIDICAE🌈 17:05, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
