Happy New Year! Film Critic Roger Ebert recently published his annual Top 10 Films of the Year – and decade. He included many of my favorites. I find myself drawn to spiritual films, primarily – they move me far more deeply than various genre films. So in that “spirit,” here are my Top 10 Spiritual Films, in no particular order:
- The Shawshank Redemption
- Groundhog Day
- Jesus of Montreal.
- Star Wars
- Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter…And Spring
- Wings of Desire
- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
- Forrest Gump
- Peaceful Warrior
- The Thin Red Line
Others that were close: The Matrix, Fearless, The Big Blue, Little Buddha, American Beauty, Pay it Forward, The Razor’s Edge, A River Runs Through It, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Happy Go Lucky and The Straight Story
