Vort Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Pretty much agree. I'd rank the last two (Brigham City and the Johnny Lingo remake) somewhat higher, and I would include the 2016 Saturday's Warrior remake and possibly Pride and Prejudice in the top 20. Have I mentioned that I like Christopher Cunningham? Sunday21 and NeuroTypical 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroTypical Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Baptists at our BBQ only got an honorable mention? Travesty! Injustice! Wimmin' thoughts! The Other Side of Heaven - good movie. Glad it got #5. Sunday21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I found Brigham City to be exceptionally disturbing film that was not uplifting in the least. I think it is telling that Richard Dutcher apostasized soon after releasing the film. I would rank The Testaments at number one. I saw that on my mission for the first time, and spent the next several years quoting the bad guy in it. I would probably rank The Work and the Glory much, much higher. And Mobsters and Mormons - the only Mormon comedy I actually felt was funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) I've only seen a couple of the ones on the list. But Mobsters and Mormons was one of my all-time favorite comedies even among mainstream movies. ONE CORRECTION: Princess Diaries came out BEFORE Other Side of Heaven.

pam Posted March 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 There were a few on the list that I really liked. Freetown, The Saratov Approach, 17 Miracles, Ephraim's Rescue (probably cuz I know the man who played Ephraim), The Cokeville Miracle, and Johnny Lingo.

Charly was grand, for sure. i'm surprised nobody has mentioned The Touch Of The Master's Hand. Such beautiful music - and the end, where the Master wipes away the 'scars' of the violin. So profound. i'd say that was just a clip, but they included Johnny Lingo, so..... In case anyone hasn't seen it. https://vimeo.com/262160047 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a wall hanging that has a vintage looking parchment with the poem and a little violin next to it. I also have a beautifully illustrated book made from the poem. lostinwater 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted March 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I don't know if this is considered a Mormon Movie but Mr. Krueger's Christmas comes to mind. I have always loved that movie. I watch it every Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I ever heard of it was when I heard the Afterglow version of it. When I heard there was a poem it was modeled after, I read it. From that route, the song seemed more efficient and the poem seemed too didactic. A companion on my mission had the reverse experience. And he ended up not liking the song because it didn't explain things well enough. No accounting for taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
