There certainly are movies that bother me to watch. I personally don't get anything out of the torture movies or movies that revel in human depravity. Not my thing at all - though I do like some horror movies. I still stand by my list though. Most of which have positive themes and redeeming characters.
- Unforgiven
- Shawshank Redemption
- The Fisher King
- Heat
- 12 Monkeys
- Slingblade
By the way, I think Leap of Faith is a great movie, but it certainly pushes the PG limits at times.

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.
I wouldn't put Leap of Faith on my top 10 favorite list, but it was pretty good.

yeah, I'm in agreement. I wasn't giving it top 10 status, but I saw it as a teen, and kind of blew it off, and didn't pay much attention to it (since I wasn't interested in church or faith, or anything of the sort). I want to see it again, because I think it would be much more interesting, since I am now aware of the antics of "the Hinn".

There is one scene in that movie that stands out to me. It is when his (Steve Martin's) fake healings are exposed while on stage, yet somehow manages to preach himself out of it. I don't know if I would call it my favorite part, but to me, it is the most poignant.
Bro. Hutchinson, I'm with you, I like the older movies too.
