The redemption tale. 100 Spiritual Movies to See Before You Die outlines twelve major categories of spiritual movies before diving into a wide array of films: from Chariots of Fire to Bruce Almighty ; Life of Pi to Malcolm X ; The Bishop's Wife to V for Vendetta ; and many more.

To encourage that, the discussion questions and Bible quotes/religious terms are a point of entry for group discussion or individual reflection.'
