Great minds think alike, and the same month I was first compiling this article two of those great minds belonged to a missionary in Brazil and an evangelist in California.
The evangelist, Ray Comfort, passed along a story, first told by Jeremy Archer, about a man who invited all sorts of folks into his house to meet his family. Often the visitors would talk crudely and angrily with each other, teaching his children words he’d rather they not know. But these visitors could also get his whole family laughing so the man decided to focus on the good they did, rather than the bad.
Over time the man could see the visitors were having an impact on his family, and it wasn’t a good one. He found that his own children were now using crude language and making coarse jokes. What was worse, the visitors were behaving outrageously, even taking their clothes off right there in front of his family!
That’s hard to believe, isn’t it? Why didn’t the man just kick them out? Why didn’t he protect his family from their influence? Well, it turns out this man had some sense, and as the visitors started getting naked the man acted. Together with his family, the man finally “turned off the television.”
That same month the missionary, Rev. Ken Wieske, expressed the same concern, titling a Facebook post “David vows to get rid of his TV.” Underneath he included the text of Psalm 101 which reads (in part):
I will ponder the way that is blameless.
Oh when will you come to me?
I will walk with integrity of heart
within my house;
I will not set before my eyes
anything that is worthless.
The pastor’s point was clear: most of what’s on TV is worthless and if King David were here on earth today, he might well pitch his TV right out of the palace. Of course, it isn’t quite as easy as that. Today we also have computers, and smartphones, so getting rid of the TV isn’t going to restrict our access to fluff and filth that’s so readily available.
So let’s take this a step further. Yes, much of what’s on TV (and on YouTube, Facebook, etc.) is worthless. But some of it isn’t. Some of it is quite good. Excellent even! So if we were to make the same promise King David makes in Psalm 101 – to put away all that is worthless – what sorts of films and videos might we still watch?
I’ve got some suggestions, and I’ve listed them under 10 categories, with 20 or more movie recommendations in most categories. My hope is that this list can help families find something worth watching. With over 235 suggestions I’m also hoping there will be something for everyone. There’s just one documentary included here, but you can find a whole bunch more in our list of “100+ documentaries that make learning a joy.”
Title, year, and length are included and, if there’s a review available on ReformedPerspective.ca, I’ve indicated that by making the title all caps and clickable.
I’ve also included an entertainment rating. This is out of 10, and in my books, a 7 is a solid mark, while 8 is something special, and 6 is still watchable but there is some notable flaw (maybe some corny writing, or a bad bit of acting, that sort of thing). The only reason I’ve included a few films that rate as low as 6 is because they have something about them that makes them valuable viewing – oftentimes their educational value. I’ll note also, that a 7 for a children’s film means that this target audience will think it a 7, and not adults. The same is true of a black-and-white classic. If you hate anything B&W, then you probably won’t like one with a solid 7 rating (though maybe you’d be swayed by one with an 8, 9, or 10).
One other note: none of these films and videos take God’s name in vain. That’s important. While a degree of violence and even sexual content of some sort can be appropriate on screen, the way God’s name is abused on film just isn’t.

ANIMATED VIDEOS (12)
This mix of shorter videos (whether standalone or TV series) can be ideal when mom wants to take a nap but doesn’t want the kids sitting in front of the TV forever.

ANIMATED “TORCHLIGHTERS” SERIES (9)
There are 20+ videos in the Torchlighter series, and the nine below are all great. While I haven’t seen the whole series yet, there are a couple I haven’t included for two different reasons. The first was on St. Patrick. While legends abound, little firsthand material on Patrick’s life exists, making it hard to separate fact from fiction. That difficulty should have been acknowledged. Then, in the one on Augustine, an animated Jesus makes an appearance, and while I’m not wholly sure of the wrongness of visually depicting Christ, I am also not sure of its rightness, so I haven’t recommended it.

ANIMATED FILMS (27)
It seems like cartoons used to be safe for kids, though boring for adults. Today, with the appearance of obscene animated fare like “South Park” and “Family Guy,” many cartoons are unsuitable for children, and for that matter, adults. But there has been a change for the better too – movies like “Curious George” and “Meet the Robinsons” show that some animated fare can keep the kids happy, and entertain their parents as well.

BLACK & WHITE SILENT CLASSICS (6)
As a subcategory to the above are a half dozen silent film selections. If you’ve never gotten into silent films, be sure to start with the comedies – there the overwrought acting just adds to the funny. And Buster Keaton is the best!

BIOGRAPHICAL (17)
Most of these are Christian biographies, and being true gives them a leg up on fictional Christian fare that too often concludes with “happily ever after” endings, more fairytales than our one true faith. It’s simply a fact that here on earth bad things often happen to good, faithful Christians. I will also note that while many of these are great, others are merely okay (ranking only a 6), but are still included here because of their educational value.

CHILDREN (23)
This is fare for younger children – not a lot of tension here. And that means, while the kids will probably like it, mom and dad might not. Because children often watch their favorite videos repeatedly, even dozens of times, it’s all the more important to make sure what they do watch is the good stuff.

Before they got woke, Hallmark made a lot of films appreciated for being safe and good, and though they were rarely great there were a few of those too. Sometimes they’d even be based on Christian books. Not all of these are from Hallmark, but they are all of that sort.

WAR FILMS (20)
The Second World War might have been the first major conflict in which film could play a role, presenting stories intended to encourage those on the frontlines and at home. The most inspiring World War II films show ordinary, average people doing extraordinary, heroic things (many of whom were our parents, grandparents or great grandparents, hiding Jews or otherwise putting themselves at risk simply because they knew it had to be done). Many of the best World War II films were made during the war – they have a completely different feel, because no one at the time knew what the war’s outcome would be!
