1. Jesus Revolution (Netflix)

This 2023 hit film is based on the true story of the Jesus Movement of the 1960s/70s and stars Jonathan Roumie, Kelsey Grammer, Joel Courtney, Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Anna Grace Barlow. It was produced by the same company that made I Can Only Imagine and I Still Believe and is one of the year’s best films. Jesus Revolution lands on Netflix on July 31.

2. The Huntsman: Winter's War (Netflix)

Wicked Queen Freya (Emily Blunt) attempts to rid her dark kingdom of love, only to fail when two people in her army – a man and a woman – develop a close bond. The film is a prequel to the Snow White story and is a solid morality tale – “Do not love. It is a sin. And I will not forgive it,” Freya says – even if it is at times dull. Rated PG-13 for fantasy action violence and some sensuality. It also contains mild language. Clearplay and VidAngel offer a filter.

The parents display patient, unconditional love. The kids learn from their mistakes. Everyone is a useful member of a team. Unlike so many other modern-day cartoons, sarcasm and name-calling are minimal. Season 3 debuted on Disney Plus in July.

6. A Belgian Chocolate Christmas (Great American Family/Pure Flix)

A food photographer impersonates a close friend/chef in order to visit Belgium and attend a food school. It is there that she falls in love with the owner.

7. Jonah: A Brickfilm (Pure Flix)

Jonah is one of five Brickfilm titles on Pure Flix, joining those about Jesus and Moses. (There also is a Brickfilm titled The Bible: Part 1, which takes viewers on a journey through the first few major stories of the Old Testament.) Josh Carroll directed them.
