Christianity Today posted its list of the "most redeeming films" of 2011, and there are some great ones up top. As the article says, these are films that "ask you to put the popcorn aside, pay close attention, engage your heart, soul, and mind..."
I'm not typically much of a moviegoer, but 2011 did seem to have an abundance of good films. Every movie I saw last year is on the "most redeeming" list: The Way, Of Gods and Men, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part II, and Soul Surfer. I've even seen a couple of the honorable mentions -- Winnie the Pooh and The Muppets -- thanks to my kids. Part of my clan saw Hugo this weekend as well, but I didn't get to go on that field trip. Heard it was great, though.
I don't know about you, but I tend to forget which movies I'm meaning to see once they leave the theater. This list will come in handy when I'm looking for something to borrow from the library, although we already own three of them.
