The Arts & Faith's "Top 100 Spiritually Significant Films"

Add to my lists | Print this list

Arts & Faith is pleased to announce the Top100 Spiritually Significant Films list for 2004. The Top100 list draws upon decades of cinema and includes U.S. and foreign movies. Popular, "blockbuster" films are balanced with art films. The list offers readers the best, most spiritually significant films ever made.<br /><br />
The Top100 list was developed over several months using a combination of anonymous voting, open debate, and expert jury selection. Participants in the selection process were all users of the free Arts & Faith website. The list will be revised annually in the Spring, to reflect new films and refine the list to ensure it best represents the spiritual dimension of classic and modern film. Although developed from a Christian perspective, the focus of the list is the spiritual depth or focus of the films involved rather than moral or commercial value. Some films will appeal to everyone, but there are also films that will challenge many viewers.

[101 titles listed with ‘Jean de Florette’ and ‘Manon des sources’ counted separately]
