Church Movie Night- Ideas for Discussion

[Thersites]

Remember when a filibuster was seen as a good thing?

I've never seen Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but I would like to.

Ack, I was thinking of the wrong film.

Forest of the Damned. If nothing else, it's an excellent cure for sexual urges.

thanks everyone for your movie suggestions (I appreciate it!) but i was looking more for some thought provoking questions that I could ask. I guess I have some already based on the movie i had in mind (on corrie ten boom)but just thought some might have ideas on how to engage in the convo...flyers, wing it, ask if anyone has any comments on the movie, etc...

I can't say I know much about Corrie ten Boom, but you could always ask about the flaws and virtues of the main character, of the villain, or of significant side characters. Ask about vice, virtue, the reasons the characters make the mistakes they do and the reasons they do the right thing...

I don't think it's very easy to get very theological through most movies, but that doesn't mean you can't get some interesting ideas out of them. That said, there are a number of decent films about the lives of saints that you might find worthwhile. I don't know the names of any off-hand, but they do exist.
