Saints and Soldiers

Luke and I watched a movie the other night that I have to talk about. As with most young men, he likes war movies (or anything with guns). I've struggled in finding war movies that tell good stories with appropriate amounts of gore & violence, and not all the stinkin' gratuitous sex and language (I always have had a hard time buying that just because your in battle you use six - 4 letter words in every sentence!)

We happened upon an awesome one in Blockbuster last week --- Saints and Soldiers. It wasn't a 'Major' film, but as you'll see if you check out the film's website it won a lot of awards on the 2nd tier level.

It told about a true story in WWII, and yes it had some war violence, but it talked in real terms about friendship and faith -- and had great pictures of courage and sacrifice -- without unnecessary language and sex.

So if you're looking for something in this genre, check it out.

Let us hear from you: What movie have you seen lately that you would recommend and why??
