Summit Youth Ministry

 

These movies were selected because they are "classics", movies with a message, or just plain fun.  Some of them may have some crude language but they were selected because the use of the language was part of the story and wasn't placed there gratuitously or senselessly.  An example of a movie with crude language in the context of a good story is "Pursuit of Happyness".  An example of a movie that didn't make the cut, in contrast, would be most any film with Will Ferrell.  Also, any film that treated women (or men) inappropriately wouldn't make the cut either. 

 

You are encouraged to give Mr. Bob feedback - anywhere from "What was he thinking?" to "Wow, I loved that one!" or "Why didn't XYZ make the cut?"   Please email Mr. Bob at drspigot@yahoo.com with your comments and suggestions for additions, deletions, rants or raves.
