10 Positive Christian Characters in Movies Today

By Kris Rasmussen

Even though the Academy Awards (and the Beliefnet Film Awards) are over, there is certainly no lack of griping over Hollywood's depiction of people of faith.

I, along with some fellow critics and bloggers, have come up with a list of ten films released by Hollywood since the new millennium (2000) that portray a Christian character in a positive light. Keep in mind that we purposely left out historical biblical epics such as "The Passion" and "The Nativity." We also chose not to include movies that featured an entire Christian community-- not one specific Christian character--in a positive light ("Lars and The Real Girl", "Charlotte's Web"). Click through the gallery to find out who we chose as the most positive Christian characters in modern movies.
