I was talking to a bunch of youth pastors and the subject of ‘what movies can you show to a youth group‘ came up. We all had stories of movies that we thought were okay to show, but upon watching them in the context of church we quickly realized that they were NOT OKAY. I made the mistake of showing Zoolander (even the edited version was way too bad) and other had showed Goonies or Ferris Bueller (kids with potty mouths).

So any suggestions of good (sorry, no Facing the Giants) movies that you can show in the youth group setting (and the youth will actually watch)?

Here’s our list so far:

Night at the Museum

Napoleon Dynamite

Princess Bride

Any Pixar Movie

Elf
