Why Christian Films Regularly Have a Sucking Sound Associated With Them

Since I regularly review Christian films on my blog this 2-part podcast series is of interest to me.

I’ve listened to the first episode and I can tell you it’s top-notch.

Chris Staron has done a great job with the entire podcast and this one, in particular, is worth a listen.

One statement in the podcast by Rich Christiano got a reaction from me:

I’d like to see Stephen Spielberg take $400,000 and make a movie. Let’s see how good he does.

Since then, I’ve had some interesting conversations with people about my list (and theirs). I’m reevaluating my thoughts on all the films. I doubt any of the new films will ever surpass Star Wars or The Empire Strikes Back but after listening to some analysis of The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi I may need to reconsider my rankings.

Some re-watches are in order. This list is in flux but here it is. All the Star Wars movies from Best to Worst. Continue reading “All Star Wars Movies Ranked From Best to Worst”
