| has gloss | eng: A Christian film is generally described as a film that contains a Christian message or purpose. These films can so be divided into films produced by openly Christian filmmakers to an Christian audience, and "secular" studio productions of films with strong Christian messages or Biblical stories, like Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Passion of the Christ and The Book of Eli. . The latter category operates with larger budgets and is distributed to a worldwide audience. Many other "Christian" films are created directly by Christians in independent companies mainly targeting a Christian audience. This has been on the rise since the success of Sherwood Pictures' Fireproof, the highest grossing independent film of 2008. |
