SurvivalBlog reader DMS writes in: I only have one faith-based movie to recommend this week for good reason– it stands alone! It comes with one question, one statement, and one warning. The question: What are you doing right now?? The statement: Yes, we have lost rights. Let’s take them back the same way we lost them– one right at a time. The warning: If you lost one of my brothers or sisters who served and gave the ultimate sacrifice, the ending of the movie may be too much. (I had a tough moment but a good wife.) Okay, the movie is Last Ounce of Courage [1]. It’s a story of faith, family, and freedom.

Two highly recommended sports movies, both based on true stories.
When the Game Stands Tall [2] The winningest high school football team in history. The important part is that’s not the important part– character is.
Woodlawn [3] Birmingham, Alabama, during one of the worst times. A spiritual awakening began at Woodlawn High School in their football team and moved through the whole city. – C.P.

Reader M.B. suggests two of his favorite movies (that he watches over and over again):
Culpepper Cattle Company [4](1972) Perhaps the best cowboy movie made IMHO. Great coming of age story, graphic violence (not glorified but realistic), and a great portrayal of the gritty and self-reliant life of the old cowboys. Preview link [5]
Sorcerer [6] (1977) A remake of the old French film Wages of Fear [7] about four fugitives hired to drive trucks loaded with nitroglycerin across rugged terrain to extinguish a oil well fire sparked by terrorists. Some things never change, oil and terrorists that is. Preview link [8]

AM & Family suggested these movies as well:
The Debt [9]
Argo [10]
Super 8 [11]
War Games [12] – An older movie but a good one.
