50 movies every Salvationist should see

Listen to this article

By Kevin Jackson, Major, and Grant Whitehead –

While there are many worthwhile movies to view, enjoy and learn from, we have narrowed the must-see list down to 50 titles, not in ranked order.

Together, we sought films that contained themes centering upon faith, social issues and character studies while emulating those things that might be important for every Salvationist to see. These are the top 50:

  1. Almost all the films on your list are RECENT and USA made.
    I assume that this might reflect the films which have been available to the authors.
    I suggest the addition of the following:
    THE KID 1921 USA Charlie Chaplin
    GHANDI 1982 British Film
    MANDELA – A LONG WALK TO FREEDOM 2013 British / South Africa Film
    IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT 1967 USA
    INHERIT THE WIND 1960 USA
    A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH 1946 British
    “M” 1931 Germany
    THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC 1928 France

    and lots of other excellent films over the last 100 years.
