Think for a moment about the short list of films usually recommended in Christian media.

If you do that, you will probably be surprised — nay, thunderstruck — at the list of the Top 100 movies as voted on by many who spend their days pondering the intersection of art and faith. Yes, Image has just announced the latest, greatest edition of the Arts and Faith Top 100 Films!

Originally, my list of 2009 favorite films was published as a three-part series at Image’s Good Letters blog. You can read that here: Part One, Part Two, Part Three.

But as promised, I’ll be revising the list as I catch up with 2009 releases that I missed during my long hours of writing Raven’s Ladder.

Image has posted Part Two of my year-end reflection on the movies of 2009. Today: #20 – #11.

Looking Closer reader Tyler Petty just came up with a good idea for a discussion starter.

I mentioned in my first installment of 140 Characters that the movie Midnight Run is on my list of personal, all-time top ten favorite films. I include that film for many reasons. Some of those reasons have to do with the film itself, and some have to do with the friendships in which the film played a memorable part.

So Tyler suggested a conversation about what titles we’d include in our lists that are particular to us, titles you’d probably rarely find in anyone else’s short-list of favorites.

So, I’m curious. If you compiled a short list of your all time favorites, what would stand out as an unusual choice? And why?

Let’s talk about both movies and music. What would surprise us on your lists?
