Amidst all the filth, vulgarity, profanity, sexuality and political correctness (in which the former is not evil but not affirming LGBTQ is) there some pretty good Christian and family films that you can see for free. Tubit is an American ad-supported streaming service owned by Fox Corporation and has been around for a while providing licensed content, and has some gems among the refuse that is to be refused (best to search under appropriate category) and requires no sign up for videos here, although a few short video ads interrupt.

The list of movies below is not exhaustive, but most are ones i have watched, usually tired (for I overall do want to be productive instead), and found to be of good "clean" quality (and with no vulgarity or profanity).

So if you are like me (and hopefully better) than I think you will appreciate this list:

Time Changer. A Bible scholar living in 1890 climbs aboard a time machine to see how the book he wrote will affect future generations and is stunned by the results. Gavin MacLeod, Hal Linden

The Cross and the Switchblade . Based on the true story of Pastor David Wilkerson, who ministered to NYC gang members, including Nicky Cruz, leader of the toughest gang in NYC in the 50's. Has a very real and raw street-level quality without sentimentality but with action and some humor, and a moving message that needs to be heard today, BLM included.

Amazing Love: The Story of Hosea. When tensions mount between members of a teen group, a young pastor attempts reconciliation by sharing the story of the Old Testament prophet Hosea. Sean Astin (son of Addams family star) plays the part well of a pastor with his wife taking teens on a camping trip. Humorous but with with the best portrayal of an OT prophet I have ever seen as the pastor tells his story.

Letters to God . Tyler Doherty is an extraordinary eight-year-old boy armed with strong faith and courage as he faces his daily battle against cancer. Surrounded by a loving family and community, Tyler's prayers take the form of letters he sends to his ultimate pen pal, God, on a daily basis. These letters find their way into the hands of Tyler's postman, Brady, who is at a crossroads in his life, searching of Tyler's shining spirit, bravery and grace. Inspired by a true story, Letters to God delivers a message of home, faith and courage that others can apply to their own personal struggle regardless of what they may face in their everyday lives. [Very well done and moving. But communities are not that nice as in the movie.]

Loving the Bad Man. A young Christian woman gives birth to a baby conceived when she was raped, keeps the child, and uses her faith to help her assailant find God. [Powerful, and moving (can make grown men weep, but rejoice in awe at the end). Music about 30 min. into the film is a downside though. ]

Come the Morning. A single mother travels across the country with her three children to find the man who deserted them, and have a shot at a better life. [Older movie and with honesty and quite realistic depiction of life on the street. a Billy Graham production.]

A Matter of Faith . A Christian college student finds herself in a crisis of faith when her father finds her biology professor teaches evolution as the answer of life. [Student gives some good responses.]

Badge of Faith. Based on the true story of a Virginia police officer who was paralyzed while on-duty and fought his way back through sheer faith.

God's Outlaw. The story of William Tyndale, who bravely dedicated his life to translating the Bible into English, and publishing it for everyday people.

Behind the Sun. A young man raised as a Muslim in the Middle East becomes a Christian during his college years in the U.S., setting the stage for conflicts back home. [Recommended watching. Realistic and inspiring but not PC.]

Tortured for Christ. The true story of one pastor dares to stand up against the Soviet Union's ban on religion, enduring torture and solitary confinement for his beliefs in this true story.

Years of the Beast The battle between God and satanic forces centers this dramatic telling of the book of Revelation as oppression, evil and mistrust befalls the world. [Another Rapture movie, but the best one, with very good script and acting (Gary Bayer=, Jerry Houser). Although I believe that is the first resurrection at the end of the Trib., yet the scenario these believers experience can easily much represent what believers in general will face during that period.]

The Pilgrim's Progress . Animated tale of a man obsessed with finding truth and escaping a city’s destruction who encounters hardships, foes and victory in his faith journey. [At bottom "You May Also Like" offers more animated Bible theme stories.]

C.H. Spurgeon: The People's Preacher.

Billy Graham: An Extraordinary Journey

Canvas Cathedral: Billy Graham's Crisis of Faith

Hudson Taylor: Into the Heart of the Dragon

The [Aryan] Couple. [Inspired by] The true story of a Jewish Hungarian man [Martin Landau] depicts his desperate fight with Himmler and Eichmann, as he tries to save his family from Nazi death camps. [Well done and powerful.]

For Love's Sake . When a grieving widow spirals into suicidal depression and loses custody of her children, her therapist becomes the life raft that will save her. [It is a better movie than you may think: the British state versus a Christian mother and her children and her victory. I think it is based on a true story.]

WWJD II: The Woodcarver . An experienced woodcarver takes a troubled teen under his wing and, in doing so, brings the teen and his family back together and back to God.

The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry . Dustin and his two best buddies are twelve year-olds looking forward to a summer of fun in 1970. When Dustin mows the lawn of seventy-five year old Jonathan Sperry [Gavin MacLeod], a man he has seen at church, a unique friendship develops. What happens the rest of this summer is something Dustin and his friends will never forget.

The Way Home. This drama is based on the true story of a rural community that is forever changed when they must help a local family search for their missing son. Quite well done with some good acting.

Free Indeed: The Phil Thatcher Story. How one of California’s most notorious criminals during the 1920s and 1930s was reformed after meeting Jesus Christ in his Folsom prison cell.

Russ Taff: I Still Believe. The award-winning Christian music icon shares his story of freedom from alcoholism and childhood abuse that kept him in a prison of private shame.

The Climb . Two mountain climbers, one courageous and religious, the other strong and self-reliant, form an uneasy bond after a life-changing rescue mission

Second Glance . Living as a Christian seems rather pointless to high-school senior Dan Burgess [David A.R. White], until he gets his wish to experience life as an unbeliever.

Pamela's Prayer. On the day a girl is born, her mother dies, and her life unfolds in daily prayers with the father who raised her to stay pure until her wedding day.

The Trail. In 1848, Amelia and her husband join the last caravan headed west in pursuit of California gold. After a savage attack, she is left alone to battle hunger and the elements.

Cry From the Mountain. Kayaking through the Alaskan wilderness, a man and his son experience a life-threatening accident. Will help from a mysterious stranger save them?

USS Indianapolis : The Legacy. Experience this groundbreaking film, the story of the greatest sea disaster in U.S. Navy History, told for the first time by only the men who lived it. In the most top secret Navy mission of World War II, the crew of the heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis delivers components of the atomic bomb to Tinian island. Four days later, two Japanese torpedoes sink the ship in the Challenger Deep, triggering an epic tale of survival. For five days, the 880 men who make it into the water battle searing sun, thirst, hundreds of sharks and ultimately each other. Just 317 survive only to band together again in a fifty-year fight to clear their captain's name. Set to a soaring original score, this incredible story unfolds with rare WWII footage, previously unpublished photographs, and new footage from one of the last WWII-era heavy cruisers still afloat. USS Indianapolis: The Legacy shows us that through courage and faith, ordinary men can survive the crucible of nature, and emerge extraordinary heroes.

Edit: “Tubit” was supposed to be Tubitv in case the grammar police cite me:) Also under “Years of the Beast” the word “rapture belongs in “Although I believe that [the rapture] is the first resurrection at the end of the Trib.”

I enjoyed and was surprised by this old black and white movie I accidentally watched the other night after searching for film noirs on youtube. One of Angie Dickinson’s first movies.

‘I’ll Give My Life’

Maybe we should post reviews! Here is my review of Loving The Bad Man that I posted on Amazon: Watched this on TubiTV and which brought to tears to my eyes a couple times (no easy feat). Innocent and caring Christian teen get a flat on her car and looks for help at a bar and ends up getting helped by a young man who is a mechanic. But who is drunk and angry after having spontaneously beating up his boss for constantly berating him, and he ends up forcibly violating her. Her hard working father loathes the perpetrator, and when she tests positive as pregnant then he and his wife and her brother urge her to get an abortion, but which she adamantly refuses to do as that would be wrong. The rapist get arrested and sent to prison for 20 years while she gives birth to a healthy baby boy, whom she names after her uncle, "Arthur" (this approx. 2 min. section, beginning about 30 min. into the film, has no sound other than some crass music being loudly played ). After the new mother spends some months weaning her baby boy, she decides to forgive her rapist and show the love of God to him. She thus secretly visits the prison with her infant son, but at the first encounter the young man reacts in shock and denial that the child is his, and is incredulous that he would visit her and is verbally harshly towards the sweet well-meaning girl. Meanwhile, he is having conflicts in prison due to rival gangs, but he meets an aged man who becomes a friend and mentor, like a dad he never had, and who talks some sense into the young man who is tough and reactionary but searching. No one else visits him in the prison, but the mom and son keep returning, and with each successive visit his heart begins to soften, and shows some conscience and becomes genuinely happy to she her and his son. She gives him a Bible which he begins reading, and which he says takes away his desire for violence. However, her dad finds out she has been visiting him and at dinner he reveals this to the family and very angrily chastises her for doing so and deceptively keeping this a secret, and gives her and her illegitimate son (whom he refers to with the b word) 5 minutes to leave, which she does. At this stage another dimension of her life becomes very important. The young Christian assistant manager at the local supermarket (which the film introduced earlier), has a crush on her that she did not perceive at first (he is rather shy) but their relationship has grown somewhat, and she now meets him at the supermarket (where he is now acting manager). She pours out her heart and he shows himself to be a wise and perceptive spiritual counselor. And who goes to her dad (who knew him before) and offers to help him with something, and ends up working toward healing his relationship with his daughter. His humble confession and apology to her and their reconciliation is very touching. However, when she brings him to prison with her to meet the the young man then upon doing so (btwn strong glass) he manifest his vengeful self which he makes known to the man who violated his daughter (if words and looks could kill). Yet the young man is truly contrite and affirms that he deserves death. Meanwhile one prison gang has killed the older man, the friend of the young man, and has a contract out for the death of his child and his mother. Which places him in a situation whereby he can sacrificially be a peacemaker, having found peace with God thru Christ. There is no profanity in the film, nor nudity or the typical recourse to sensuality (the pregnant gilts swollen belly being shown is the closest to that) and the acting is fairly good, though varying with the actor/actresses) and the early music only detracts and I fast forward whenever that comes on as well as a couple other songs. Needs a better selection if any. Grace and peace thru Jesus the Lord.

Happy New Year and belated Merry Christmas

This National Memorial is the climax of a 50 year dream by the crew members

who survived the sinking of the cruiser USS Indianapolis in 1945.

They worked continually to erect a fitting memorial to their missing shipmates.

The Memorial is located at the North end of the Canal Walk.

The Memorial is an outdoor site and is available to the public from dawn to dusk.

Engraved on the South face of the monument are the names of the ship's company

and one passenger who made up her final crew.

Thanks for providing the paragraph formatting. I did not post any html and the preview retained formatting, so I do not why it posted a wall of text.
