For General Release: Announcing the Arts & Faith Top100
( Summer 2004 ) Arts & Faith <artsandfaith.com> is pleased to announce the Top100 Spiritually Significant Films™ list for 2004. The Top100 list draws upon decades of cinema and includes U.S. and foreign movies. Popular, "blockbuster" films are balanced with art films. The list offers readers the best, most spiritually significant films ever made. The Top100 list was developed over several months using a combination of anonymous voting, open debate, and expert jury selection. Participants in the selection process were all users of the free Arts & Faith website. The list will be revised annually in the Spring, to reflect new films and refine the list to ensure it best represents the spiritual dimension of classic and modern film. Although developed from a Christian perspective, the focus of the list is the spiritual depth or focus of the films involved rather than moral or commercial value. Some films will appeal to everyone, but there are also films that will challenge many viewers. The Top100 is available at artsandfaith.com/top100/. Additional discussion of the Top100, including breakdown by director and other analysis, is available on the Arts & Faith website at artsandfaith.com. A frequently asked questions (FAQ) list is available here. About Arts & Faith: With hundreds of active users, Arts & Faith includes a wide range of Christian opinion on film, ranging from professional film reviewers to clergy and lay people from around the world and many walks of life. In addition to movies, Arts & Faith also has sections devoted to music, literature, and other arts and cultural topics.
