So how do we at Crosswalk pick our favorite movies of the year?
First we ask our editors and contributing entertainment writers to send us a list of their personal favorites for the year. Then, we count up the votes and see which ones our team felt were most worth your time and money. From that list, we wrangle out 10 to 15 films that we think our collective can get behind.
We examine the message of the film and how it supports (even accidentally) the Christian worldview. We consider how a movie handles the underlying moral issues involved. And we certainly don’t forsake the art of filmmaking. Is the film’s tone appropriate? Is the writing sharp? Are the performances compelling?
With that in mind, we present to you our favorite movies of 2007. But keep in mind that not every film is for everyone. We all have different comfort levels with the portrayal of sinfulness and offensive content.

2. AMAZING GRACE
Rating: PG (for thematic material involving slavery, and some mild language)
The story of William Wilberforce and his efforts to abolish slavery in England gets noteworthy treatment in Amazing Grace. Working tirelessly for the abolition cause, Wilberforce suffered through years of setbacks in Parliament until a key legislator joined his side, and time caught up with his favored cause. Amazing Grace is a thoughtful account of one of history’s seminal moments.
