Some time ago A. W. Tozer wrote this article concerning religious movies. I've always considered religious movies to be insidious in nature but never really understood why until I recently read this article. There is indeed a ton of insight and Scriptural truth in this article by Tozer.

That religion and amusement are forever oppossed by their very essential natures is apparently not known to this new school of religious entertainers

The plain fact is that no vital spiritual truth can be expressed by a picture. Actually all any picture can do is to recall to mind some truth already learned through the familiar medium of the spoken or written word. Religious instruction and words are bound together by a living cord and cannot be separated without fatal loss. The Spirit Himself, teaching soundlessly within the heart, makes use of ideas previously received into the mind by means of words.

IMO, this also includes the latest fad movie "The Passion of the Christ" which is nothing more than a gigantic (very expensive) yet blasphemous RCC image and idolatrous crucifix.
