All of you so called Apostolics are making me sick. Favorite movie of all time? You need to pray through. Where are the convictions? I cannot believe this is considered an Apostolic forum. This is a Baptist forum at best. All of you posting on this thread that claim to watch movies need the Holy Ghost. If you get it, you will no longer desire Hollywood. It starts with repentance. If you are sincere in your heart he will fill, or re-fill you with the Holy Ghost.

You go tell your pastor, Bro Ogatt, that you done good and did your part to body slam us back to the straight and narrow!
(By the way, you just might like the SAW series yourself! Will keep you guessing to the final minute of each film.)

I know how you feel. I can't understand why everyone doesn't see things exactly as I do, too. Very frustrating.

Timmy, sometimes I hate it that I agree with you as much as I do!

So does this mean you don't have a favorite movie...?

He has likely seen a movie that he has enjoyed - he just prefers a confessional booth over AFF.

Since no UC has stepped up and said it yet, I will.... some of you folks are going to bust hell wide open because of some of the junk you're watching....
I've watched a few movies in my day, but Lord help me if I even thought about watching some of the movies already mentioned on this thread....
I largely agree. I don't know if anyone is going to bust hell wide open over watching horro movies-but it is 100% certainly counter active to living for God, and lest so many forget it is the little foxes that spoin the vine.
I would like to throw in my 2 cents. I was not raised in church. I watched nearly everything that has been made pre-2000 (I got in church Jan 2000). And from what I've read (the first 8 pages of this thread). It seems like some of you are going the opposite way that I am coming.
Like I said, nothing used to be off limits. BUT when I recieved the Holy Ghost, I didn't want to see killing, sex, torture, and the most bizarre limits of the human mind before my eyes. People on here are talking about Tombstone, Seven, even the SAW movies. I AM SHOCKED! I'm not against watching movies, in fact I watched "The Rookie" last evening (rated PG), but it seems like 90% of the movies everyone is watching is based on killing somebody. I'm not about pushing my personal convictions on people, but I really do have to question if someone is walking in the Spirit, as opposed to the flesh to watch some of the things that are being promoted on this thread.

Guess I will be labled a prude... but as a Christian however, there is just a lot of junk that I won't watch... don't want the garbage in my head. Fiction or real... There are greater things for me to think upon... So, I am having difficulty understanding why some of the movies mentioned here on this thread are being watched by Christians. Kinda blows me away actually... guess I am getting old or something.
I try to keep this scripture in mind when choosing any type of entertainment. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
AMEN!!! I agree 100%!

Finally some posters with some sense.
Okay, let me mention some movies I used to like, and now like.
Before I was saved:
Face/OFF, Con Air, and the Rock-I liked Nicolas Cage movies
Also liked Happy Gilmore, and most Adam Sandler movies
And some sports movies- Major League
And others such as Boys in the Hood and Juice,and similar.
HOWEVER, since Jesus made a change in my life, I don't have the same interests. Now, I limit my viewing to PG or G rated movies (I do have yound kids).
Two of the best movies I have seen are Fireproof and also FLYwheel. The acting isn't top notch, but the stories are excellent. I know some of you may prefer seeing people sliced and diced and guts and sex, but I take a liking to those movies where someone comes to their wits end, and comes to God in humble repentance-kind of hits home. I think some of you raised in church have missed out on actually having an encounter like this with God.
I also like some sports movies, The Rookie was good, and Miracle about the 1980 US hockey team was good.
Also a couple of clean comedies-Daddy Day care was pretty good, as was Meet Dave.
You don't have to be a hermit-but don't get so confident in your liberty that you are subjecting yourself to anything. BALANCE is the key. I don't want to preach to others about things they ought not to do, if I willing subject myself to them. Why preach to people not to hate their brother and kill them-if we consider that kind of thing entertaining????????????????
What say ye?

It's been a long time since anyone has labelled me a conservative, but I have to agree with Lisa on this one: "So, I am having difficulty understanding why some of the movies mentioned here on this thread are being watched by Christians. Kinda blows me away actually... guess I am getting old or something."
for the record, I'm 27, and blown away by the movies some "christians" watch. It's not a getting old thing-its a moral thing.

One that comes to mind, that I haven't seen in a while, but would like to again is "Leap of Faith"-with Steve Martin, a spoof on Benny Hinn style ministry.
