Good; Nothing Offensive

Inclusion on this list does not constitute a Christian Spotlight recommendation or endorsement. Discernment and wisdom is advised.

Moral Ratings

  • Excellent! = a truly biblical, Christian film, actively promotes Christ’s work and values and is biblically accurate (secular films virtually never qualify for this rating—not even all Christian-produced film’s qualify)
  • Good = clean, NOTHING offensive biblically
  • Better than Average = only slightly objectionable
  • Average = somewhat offensive
  • Offensive
  • Very Offensive
  • Extremely Offensive

    • Moviemaking Quality

    5 - Excellent
    4 - Very Good
    3 - Good/Average
    2 - Fair
    1 - Poor

    Motion Picture Association (MPA) Rating System

    If followers of Christ simply base their movie choices upon the MPA rating system, what mistakes will they likely make?


    G—Means: General Audiences—all ages admitted. Does not signify a certificate of approval or a morality rating, nor does it signify a childrens’ film.


    PG—Means: Parental Guidance Suggested—some material may not be appropriate for little ones. Again, this is not a morality rating, nor does it indicate that the film is for kids.


    PG-13—Means: Parents are advised that some material may be inappropriate for children under 13 (that is, ages 1-12). Again, this is not inherently a morality rating of any kind.


    R—Meaning: Restricted—a young person 16 years old or younger requires an accompanying parent or adult guardian for admittance


    NC-17—Meaning: Adults only—no one 16 years of age or younger admitted, even if accompanied by an adult

    UnRated (NOT rated MPA)—UnRated. Meaning: This film has not been rated by the Motion Picture Association (MPA). Producers are not under obligation to have the MPA rate their film, and there is a large fee and waiting period involved.
