What a terrific list! Schindler's List is a great movie although very, very difficult to watch. The story was too powerful not to be told. I'll have to check out some of the other titles that you have listed.
ReplyDeleteThe Arts and Faith site is great. They have a page for each film on their list. I always keep their list in mind when I'm looking for DVDs to watch.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could figure out their criteria for "spiritually significant". I can't find that overtly stated at the site, though it may be there somewhere.
