Movies at Home

Whether you’re looking for your next movie night pick or simply want to be inspired by films that reflect godly truths, I’ve compiled a list of 7 Christian movies that are currently available to stream on Hulu. These aren’t just feel-good flicks—they’re thought-provoking, heartwarming, entertaining, and in many cases, based on true stories.

Lifemarkentered Netflix’s global Top 10 even though it’s not on Netflix platforms in the United States. In that country, it’s streaming on Great American Pure Flix, although it can be rented or purchased on other VOD platforms.

When trying to decide on a movie to watch, always pray for discernment, set healthy boundaries, and choose to opt for networks that will reflect and stand by your values.

It’s “holiday season” in America – that annual busy stretch on the calendar when we celebrate Thanksgiving, and then Christmas, and then New Year’s Eve while doing our best to stay warm. Thankfully, though, there’s plenty of streaming options this month. Here are seven new family movies and television shows streaming this month:

For parents who want their kids to avoid scary movies and most things related to Halloween, October can be a difficult month to find new streaming options. Thankfully, though, the major streaming platforms are offering a handful of family-friendly, non-frightening releases this month. Here are seven new family movies and television shows streaming this month:

From the acclaimed director of Boyhood and the Before Sunrise trilogy comes a quiet film about three aging Vietnam War buddies who reconnect for a cross-country journey under sorrowful circumstances. Largely driven by long conversations and spot-on performances, it garners 3.5 out of 5.

Be warned: Goodbye Christopher Robin is not the Winnie-the-Pooh nostalgia trip you're expecting. In many ways it's more like a real bear than a stuffed one - cuddly to look at but get closer and find teeth and claws. So why the high score? Quality performances, unexpected conflicts, storybook scenery and life lessons abound. But also because this film knows what it means to have been both child and parent. 4.5 out of 5.

Thank You for Your Service eschews the physical side of war and instead leads viewers through the mental battlefield soldiers face upon returning home. While the story can be overly harsh, it still delivers an unflinching testimony to the silent suffering of American veterans. 3.5 out of 5.

Somewhere in The Snowman is a stylish crime thriller trying to emerge, but whether through a poor job of forging a screenplay from Jo Nesbo's book or poor execution of the script by director Tomas Alfredson, the film plays like a highly anticipated weather forecast that never materializes. 2 out of 5.

A cute little movie about cute little ponies, with life lessons and some mighty fine music thrown in as a bonus. There's color and excitement for small viewers, humor and (clean) adult references for the older set, and fun for all ages. 3 out of 5.

When a young Thurgood Marshall and Jewish lawyer Sam Friedman reluctantly partner to fight for justice in a rape case, the result is a thought-provoking, uplifting movie. More fun than you'd expect, Marshall is a legal thriller with heart and character, based on a true story. 4.5 out of 5.

A sprawling sci-fi spectacle that honors and expands upon the original, but also plays like a brainy art house indie on a big budget. At two-and-a-half hours plus, it will test the patience of those looking for an easily digestible entertainment. 4 out of 5.

Viewers who responded to God's Not Dead and Do You Believe? get another providential plot in A Question of Faith, which works despite somewhat awkwardly incorporating texting-and-driving and organ donation into its story of sanctification and salvation. 3 out of 5.

Battle of the Sexes is about more than a 1973 tennis match between rising female tennis star Billie Jean King and a past-his-prime, buffoonish Bobby Riggs. In portraying one of America’s early public figures to live openly as a homosexual, the film also addresses women’s rights, but it leaves little room for reactions other than celebration of the resulting cultural changes. 3.5 out of 5.

Barry Seal (Tom Cruise) is not the brightest bulb in the lamp, and his moral compass is clearly broken, but you can't help but root for him. American Made may leave you shaking your head in dismay, but if you want a fast-paced, interesting look at scandals of the 80's, this is your movie. 3 out of 5.
