Gatsby Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Last night I saw Georgia Rule and it had Mormon characters in it. I thought it was interesting. What other movies also feature Mormon characters that you guys know of? I know Yes Man does for a very brief moment and I also know of The Other Side of Heaven. Please don't include offensive movies like Orgazmo (Naive young Mormon Joe Young is recruited to act in porn movies). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTRMann Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I cannot think of any movies off the top of my head that were not meant to be Mormon movies (i.e Singles Ward). However, the TV show Yes Dear had an episode where the missionaries tracked into them and the rest of the episode was about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hordak Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Band of brothers. But the Mormon aids the enemy (depending on how you look at it) and it's pretty inferior if you have seen Saving Private Ryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lydlou Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 i saw a movie the otherday, I think it was called "knowing"? it didnt actuly say that the caractors were mormaon, but "together forever" and b=dealing with the death of a loved one was a realy big theme. (along with the end of the world) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Godless Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I've always been amused by the fact that SLC Punk didn't have any Mormons in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatbac Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 House had a mormon character (whom i didnt care for) who also happened to be black and a single father. I know you said to keep the movies clean but i help but say in South park everyone in heaven was LDS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoriginalavatar Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Wasn't Mr. Bean a Mormon? (Well, he acts a lot like some of the folks in my elder's quorum meetings.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RachelleDrew Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I've always been amused by the fact that SLC Punk didn't have any Mormons in it.They were mentioned frequently in the movie though, even if there weren't any LDS characters. I freaking lived by that movie when I was 16. Of course at the time I didn't actually understand the themes of the movie, I just wanted to be a real punk rocker like SteveO and his friends. The movie "Millions" has LDS missionaries in it. Although I always thought it was funny how they were portrayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 In the movie Deep Impact, Nasa astronaut who goes to thwart off a comet is LDS. Even his space ship is named Messiah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drac Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Feature Films with Major Latter-day Saint (LDS) Characters ta-dah! A pretty good list of movies featuring LDS characters, although many of them are movies made for LDS, there are many that were Hollywood films.

Wingnut Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 In the movie Deep Impact, Nasa astronaut who goes to thwart off a comet is LDS. Even his space ship is named Messiah.I haven't seen that movie in forever, but I do remember that. If I recall, it's implied that he's LDS. The ship is called "Messiah" because their mission is to save the human race. That one astronaut is referred to a few times about his wife and kid being with family in Utah, or something like that, I think. I should watch it again, because I haven't seen it in too long.

A pretty good list of movies featuring LDS characters, although many of them are movies made for LDS, there are many that were Hollywood films.The first one it lists is Ocean's Eleven. I love "the Mormon Twins" who are neither very Mormon nor very twin-like. Lol.I also loved this version of Pride and Prejudice. I thought it was funny.And the fact that the "characters" listed as LDS in SLC Punk are "Salt Lake City."Most of the films on that page are actually LDS-themed films, though.

I haven't seen it since the first year it came out. But they never say he's LDS but it's implied in many ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Fryman Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I cant remember what Its called but The was a movie on the BYU channel and it was based in Utah, plus three of the main characters are boy scouts, the others a girl, so Im assuming that they were Mormons but it was based on finding out what really happened to Butch Cassedy, It was a really good movie to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADoyle90815 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 There was also "September Dawn" which didn't do well at all at the box office. Even the most rabid anti-Mormons didn't see this film, so it must have been really bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipplecutBuddha Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 What about Starship Troopers??? LDS Missionaries of the future go to proselytize on another planet...and get slaughtered. Okay, so it isn't a very positive mention...but it counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
