Helmed by future The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader director Michael Apted, Amazing Grace follows the true story of William Wilberforce (Ioan Gruffudd) as he converts to Christianity and fights to end the slave trade in Great Britain. As Wilberforce fights with Parliament to outlaw slavery in England, we also pivot to the story of John Newton (played here by Albert Finney), the writer of the titular hymn for which the film is named. As the stories of Wilberforce and Newt...

The most speculative movie on this list, M. Night Shyamalan's Signs is a powerful film that wrestles with the notion of divine providence and the struggles of maintaining faith in the face of grief. Mel Gibson plays a former Episcopalian priest, Graham Hess, as he fights to raise his two young children in the wake of their mother's death. With the help of his brother Merrill (Joaquin Phoenix), things get even more tricky when aliens invade the Earth. While many have speculated that the aliens...

Directed by Martin Scorcese, Silence is a theological and historical drama based on the novel of the same name by Shūsaku Endō. Starring Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver as Jesuit priests on a mission to Edo period Japan, they hope to locate their missing mentor (Liam Neeson) and spread their faith to the far reaches of the map. Unfortunately, things don't come easy as the Japanese officials stand steadily in their way. While Silence is a bit controversial, it does an excellent job portraying...

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's Book of Job. The movie follows the adult Jack O'Brien, played by Sean Penn, as he reflects deeply on his childhood, with 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 the...

Years after Mel Gibson put together The Passion of the Christ, he opted to tell the story of a young combat medic named Desmond Doss (played by Andrew Garfield) during the Second World War. Hacksaw Ridge is the result, following Seventh-day Adventist Doss, a conscientious objector who decides to enter the Pacific battlefield to save lives rather than kill them. Doss' strong faith, honorable courage, and desire to see life preserved is the backbone to this powerful biographical drama. It's no...

Charlton Heston's foremost biblical epic, directed by Cecil B. Demille, The Ten Commandments is a masterwork in American filmmaking that brings the story of Moses from the Book of Exodus to life. As Heston's Moses confronts Yul Brynner's Pharaoh Rameses II for the salvation of the Hebrew people, it's clear that this Old Testament classic has remained a filmmaking marvel for a reason. Heston (who doubles as Moses and the voice of God) is a powerful presence here, and though his work in Ben-Hur...

Speaking of Charlton Heston... One of the most spectacular period movies on record, The Best Years of Our Lives helmer William Wyler's astounding epic is based on the most popular Christian novel of the 19th century: Lew Wallace's Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. The story follows a wrongly convicted and enslaved Jewish noble whose adventures parallel, and even intertwine, with the story of Jesus Christ. Featuring Charlton Heston's best performance, Ben-Hur won a record 11 Oscars (only matched...
