Arts & Faith Top 100 Spiritually Significant Films for 2025

Arts & Faith community members Lindsey Dunn, Reed Lackey, and Brian Duignan met up to discuss the newly released Top 100 Spiritually Significant Films List for 2025. This is the 7th such list that Arts & Faith has made as a group. Films can be considered spiritually significant for many reasons, usually a film that provokes spiritual meditation or the film has been formative in a group member’s personal spiritual journey. This year's list was created by 31 jurors. To see the full Arts & Faith Top 100 List, previous versions of the list, and other projects the group has worked on, please visit artsandfaith.com.
