Chronicles of Narnia is indeed very Christian in its message, if you consider that Aslan (The Lion) is a type of saviour (Christ), in that he lays down his own life in order to save the life of one of the two boys.
He is then resurrected and defeats the powers of evil! It's a pretty good movie.
Check out a film called "In the beginning" starring Martin Landau and directed by Kevin Connor. It tells the story of Genesis and Exodus. It's really good.
I like King of Kings, Greatest story ever told, The ten commandments, The robe, Nativity Story, Time Life's King David, Prince of Egypt, The passion of the Christ. Samson and Delilah.
One film that I aim to watch soon is "The gospel of John" starring Christopher Plummer. It is only available from America on region 1 dvd, but it is getting some great reviews.
There are so many other films out there as well that I have't got around to watching yet.
Best of luck discovering these hidden gems
