Christian films date back to 1897 when four Passion Plays were set to film, one of them by Thomas Alva Edison. The first feature length American film was From Manger to the Cross. Since then there has been a steady stream of overtly Christian films like The Robe, Ben-Hur, The Greatest Story Ever Told, The Hiding Place, Jesus, Left Behind, The Restless Ones, Flywheel, Chariots of Fire, Amazing Grace, etc.
The BIlly Graham Ministries produced a series of films including Souls in Conflict, The Restless Ones, Joni, Then Sings My Soul, Eye of the Storm, The Home Coming, Last Flight Out, Cry From the Mountain, etc.
I believe that a Christian can derive insights even from films made by non-Christians; even from films which are anti-Christian.

Check out my posts for Time Bandits, Watermelon Man, The Man Who Could Work Miracles, I Am Curious (Yellow), the decidedly weird Rabbit and the blasphemous Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter.
