Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry,
and he who believes in me will never be thirsty. John 6:35

What Movies for the Whole Family are worth watching?

Most of what comes out of Hollywood these days is not worth watching. Good stories and character development are sacrificed for expensive special effects, torrid sex scenes, and language that would make a sailor blush. The following is an list of movies that we recommend for people of all ages. Keep in mind that not all of them are of the same aesthetic quality. Some are real classics, others just tell a good story. No movie is perfect.
