Top Ten Christian Films
The June 2006 issue of Entertainment Weekly named The Passion of the Christ the most controversial film of all time, followed by Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (1971). In 2010, Time listed it as one of the most "ridiculously violent" films of all time.

Son of God - Christian Movie/Film from Mark Burnett with Diogo Morgado / The story will encompass the birth of Christ to his Resurrection, with the adult Messiah played by Portuguese actor Diogo Morgado.
It is encouraging that some major movie production companies and some well-known actors took Scripture seriously enough to want to recount and remain true to what even they call “the greatest story ever told.”
Of all the Jesus films, Franco Zefferelli’s “Jesus of Nazareth” is a competent portrayal from birth to resurrection. Other than “The Passion of the Christ,” Jesus of Nazareth is still the bar to follow by. However, there are two good things I remember about “The Nativity Story.” 1) Joseph was really fleshed out and 2) Mary’s birth pang.
The film may be only intermittently successful, but when it takes its own story seriously rather than treating it as a means to an end, it stands among the best films yet produced by the Christian film industry. The Case for Christ is based on the best-selling book of the same title by Lee Strobel, which walks the reader through Strobel’s investigations into the factual basis for Christianity’s claims about Jesus Christ.
To Save a Life is a 2009 Christian drama film directed by Brian Baugh. The film was released theatrically in the United States on January 22, 2010, and was written by Jim Britts. It stars Randy Wayne, Deja Kreutzberg, Robert Bailey Jr., Steven Crowder and Sean Michael Afable.
