An ongoing dialogue about faith and film. (NEW)

Half of the most popular movies of all time have been stories of heroes overcoming insurmountable odds to win the day. Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, Peter Parker in Spiderman, Frodo Baggins in Lord of the Rings, all emerged from humble beginnings to triumph victoriously over great odds.

In reality, some of the greatest heroes also led ordinary lives until circumstances demanded extraordinary courage. To them we owe a debt of remembrance.

Monuments carved in stone on the battlefields of Europe trace the path of Hitler’s defeat. Names etched in granite on a long black wall in Washington, D.C., memorialize heroes of a controversial war. Faces engraved on the hearts of every friend and family member keep memories strong.

This Memorial Day I’m going to remember and express my thanks to the men and women whose bravery guarded our liberties. They are my heroes.

P.S. This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday, which celebrates the fulfillment of Jesus' promise to send the Holy Spirit to his apostles. Learn more about the roots of the Pentecostal movement in the United States from The Azusa Street Project. It traces the path of an itinerant preacher from Houston to Los Angeles. Director Clay Banks includes interviews with leaders of today's Pentecostal churches.

1996 Academy Aard nominee Armin Mueller-Stahl leads an international all-star cast including Charles Dance and Elina Lowensoln in this powerful story of a man trying to hold his family together in a world uncontrollably coming apart. Inside the walls of the famous Warsaw ghetto of 1943, amidst the methodic cruelty of the occupying Germans - and growing rumors of revolt - Rabbi Adam Heller (Mueller-Stahl) works to maintain calm within his community while wrestling with his own sense of growing despair. But the sudden and angry reappearance of his son and a miraculous chance at survival for his daughter leads Heller to confront the ultimate crisis of faith - and his one final shot at redemption - in this moving story from acclaimed screenwriter Rod Sterling.

The true story of Germany’s most famous anti-Nazi heroine is brought to thrilling life in the multi-award winning drama SOPHIE SCHOLL—THE FINAL DAYS.

Academy Award Nominee for Best Foreign Language Film, SOPHIE SCHOLL stars Julia Jentsch in a luminous performance as the young coed-turned-fearless activist. Armed with long-buried historical records of her incarceration, director Marc Rothemund expertly re-creates the last six days of Sophie Scholl’s life: a heart-stopping journey from arrest to interrogation, trial and sentence.

This outstanding film tells the thrilling true story of an Irish priest in the Vatican who organizes an underground network in Rome to hide the Jews and others from the Nazis during World War II. Gregory Peck stars as Msgr. Hugh O’Flaherty, who uses disguises to do his dangerous work and hide from the ruthless Nazi commander (Christopher Plummer).

A Japanese P.O.W. camp during World War II becomes the battleground for the souls as well as the lives of its Scottish and British prisoners. Based on a true story, To End All Wars centers around Ernest Gordon (Ciaran McMenamin), a young soldier who wants to teach philosophy. When Gordon recovers from seeming death by illness, the other prisoners agree to become Grodon's pupils, studying Plato, Shakespeare, and the Bible. Gordon's superior officer, Ian Campbell (Robert Carlyle), scoffs at the increasingly pacificist bent of Gordon's teachings. Jim Reardon (Kiefer Sutherland), a lone American running a black market, is equally skeptical. But under the relentless brutality of the camp, the only way for the soldiers to survive is to find what gives their lives meaning. The strong performances of To End All Wars makes this moral conflict as vivid as any gun battle.

Warning: This film contains graphic war violence and language! For any concerns please call before ordering.

The rescue of Jews in Nazi-occupied Holland is a story of unimaginable courage and faith. As told by those who lived through the Nazi terror, this evocative documentary recounts what it was like for Dutch Jews to face systematic isolation, persecution...and elimination. Our subjects were mere children at the time. Children who witnessed their family and friends being arrested and dragged away — and, for most, never to be seen again. Children for whom unbearable pain and loss was cruelly compressed into a single experience of overwhelming terror.

Hitler’s plan to eliminate an entire race of people may have succeeded if not for those who saw the lie in his quest for perfection, those willing to stand against the Nazi evil—the Dutch resistance. They were ordinary people willing to risk their lives and the lives of their family to shelter and save Dutch Jews. These were Holland’s Hidden Heroes.

When the students of Tennessee's Whitwell Middle School began studying the Holocaust as a way to learn about intolerance and diversity, nobody could have predicted the results. In 2001, the Paper Clip Project culminated in a unique memorial that changed the lives of those who created it, as well as touching Holocaust survivors and countless communities.

Because Norwegians invented the paper clip and used it as a symbol of solidarity against the Nazis, students started collecting them to help visualize such vast numbers of victims. As word spread online and in the media, paper clips poured in from around the world, 11 million of which are enshrined in an authentic German railcar standing in the schoolyard. “Patiently told and lovingly made” (Variety), this inspiring, award-winning documentary shows how even small-town students and educators can teach the world powerful lessons.

Based on the real diary of 13-year-old Anne Frank, this Academy Award-winning film chronicles the lives of two Jewish families as they hide from the Nazis in a tiny Amsterdam attic. Throughout the two-year ordeal, Anne’s unceasing belief in the future soars way beyond her terrible confinement. Starring Millie Perkins and Shelley Winters.

In wartime Holland, the Ten Boom family quietly sheltered Jews in their small house---until Nazis discovered the ''hiding place.'' This is the remarkable true story of Corrie and her sister Betsie's endurance of the death camp, and their sure hope that God alone is the true hiding place.

Originally released at a stunning Hollywood premiere in 1975, "The Hiding Place" -- the true story of Holocaust survivor Corrie Ten Boom -- remains the most popular movie ever produced by World Wide Pictures, the motion picture ministry of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

When was the last time a movie had such an impact that you decided you were going to watch it monthly?

Jennie Dern, ChristianCinema.com's Marketing Analyst, watched To End All Wars last weekend. Over lunch, she shared her response...

"I'm re-thinking who I am as a person. It's the most powerful movie I've ever seen. And I don't really like war movies! I usually watch romances and comedies. This was amazing!

It's based on a true story of POWs in a Japanese prison camp during WWII. They're deprived, beaten, starved, and even killed by their captors. And yet they are willing to sacrifice for one another.

One of the main themes is the power of forgiveness. If you don't forgive, it can eat you alive and hinder your ability to to interact with other people. We're all carrying a backpack full of junk, and until we get rid of all that, we're totally influenced by that. But then when forgiveness does happen, it's so contagious. One act of kindness leads to another and others see it and follow.

What got me most was one scene where a soldier accuses the prisoners of stealing tools. He tells them that until someone steps forward and takes responsibility for it, all will suffer. No one moves until Kiefer Sutherland's character steps out and says he did. Soldiers immediately begin beating him - horribly. The other prisoners watch in amazement as the first soldier who made the accusation realizes he made a mistake in his counting.

it makes me wonder: would I do that for people I hardly knew? It's doubtful. I'm a really selfish person. It made me ask myself the really deep questions that I shove to the back of my mind and don't want to ask or answer.

This definitely isn't a movie for kids (Rated R for strong war violence and some language) - it's very real and incredibly intense. But I also think that every adult should watch it and be reminded of the power of sacrifice and the importance of forgiveness."

Thanks Jenny for reviewing a great film! Get one for yourself and let us know what you think!
