Saved
Jesus Camp does a good job of making Christians look like mindless,reactionary fools,but it’s not the fault of the filmmaker,it’s the fault of the individuals involved. Saved also gets my vote as a movie that portrays Christians in a negative light.

Caduceus Σκεπτκιστ?ζ
Cross of Fire an excellent little American TV movie/mini series shown in Britain in the early 1990s. It is set in the 1920s and deals with David "D C" Stephenson, head of the Indiana KKK, prohibitionist, and Republican leader and his abduction and brutal rape of schoolteacher Madge Oberholtzer. John Heard is chilling as Stephenson!

"Religulous" by far and "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry", In "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry", Christians are portrayed as sodomite-haters which is NOT how to witness to a sodomite. As for "Religulous", it’s an anti-Christian film.

That would be Frailty. It’s one of my favourite films. It makes you think if you could actually do what the Dad did if YHWH came to you and told you to do the same thing.
