What’s a Film Bible? The Bible is a collection of sixty-six ancient books, of varying genres, that function for Christians as an authoritative & trustworthy guide to the story of God’s rescue and renewal of His creation. While my “Film Bible, won’t serve the same lofty goal, it will be a collection of sixty-six films, of varying genres, that function as an authoritative & trustworthy guide to…my all-time favorite films. Cheesy? Perhaps, but it’s my simple way of sharing both my love for the cinematic arts while also acknowledging the God behind our ability to create it.
