The story follows a wrongly convicted and enslaved Jewish noble whose adventures parallel, and even intertwine, with the story of Jesus. Featuring Charlton Heston's best performance, Ben-Hur won a record 11 Oscars (only matched by Titanic and The Lord of the Rings:...

Director Terrence Malick's Tree of Life is arguably one of the first and biggest mainstream films to deal with the concept of faith, pulling explicitly from the Bible, especially the Book of Job. The movie follows the adult Jack O'Brien, played by Sean Penn as he reflects on his childhood, his parents being played by Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain. One of the most theologically profound aspects of this movie is the attention it gives to two opposing forces of humanity: the way of grace and th...

Amanda Seyfriedplays Mary, a pregnant woman worried about her husband, a man consumed by the thoughts that the earth will become uninhabitable for their child due to climate change. These characters come together, dealing with the weightiness of their personal lives, local politics, and a worldwide existential threat. The most marvelous thing a...

The movie is the directorial debut of Fran Kranz (he played the pothead in Cabin in the Woods), who also wrote and directed. Reed Birney, Ann Dowd,Jason Isaacs, and Martha Plimp...

A breathtaking triumph of the silent era, Carl Theodor Dreyer's masterpiece depicts the trial and execution of the eponymous defender of France who claimed to hear the voice of God. The film was released eight years after the Roman Catholic Church made Joan of Arc a patron saint. Stylistically, The Passion of Joan of Arc is the place where French Impressionism, German Expressionism and Soviet Montage meet. The director was famously meticulous in research surrounding the life and death of the...
