I highly recommend all of the Sherwood Pictures movies. All four movies were made in Georgia by Sherwood Baptist Church. So far there has been "Flywheel", "Facing the Giants", "Fireproof", and "Courageous". They made the films hoping to spread the Christian message through television. "Flywheel" is about a used car salesman who cheats his customers and eventually turns his life around. I know it doesn't sound very interesting, but I promise you, it really is a fascinating and amazing movie. It delves into the human heart and shows how God works in out lives. "Facing the Giants" is about a high school football coach who has hit hard times. Full of hilarious scenes as well as wonderful, inspiring message, I've watched this movie dozens of times and never gotten bored. "Fireproof" centers around the problem of divorce. It defines true love and how God ties into marriage. This film has saved thousands of marriages all over the country. Even if you're not married, it's a wonderful guideline and a great story. "Courageous" is about what it means to be a good father. Missing or neglectful fathers cause so much of our countries problems. Here we see what God expects of a father and how that formula really could make this world a better place.
They made the first film, "Flywheel" on a small budget. The above clip is 34 minutes long, but it is well worth watching. It shows the making of "Flywheel" and why they decided to make these movies in the first place. If you can't watch it all...well, just know that it was an amazing act of God.
This is a scene from "Facing the Giants" known as The Death Crawl. You may have seen it. It's been used for many a leadership and motivational presentation.
These are bloopers from "Fireproof". This film was a little different because they had an outside celebrity actor playing the main character. Kirk Cameron from the Left Behind movies played Caleb Holt. In the bloopers you can see many of the pranks and jokes they played on him. Even though he's new, they all act like one huge family.
This is a scene from the latest movie, "Courageous". Don't worry, there are no spoilers. But I have to say, this is one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen!
