I need your help guys. My friend & I at church have a youth movie night that we host for the teenagers in our church. We show the movie & then talk
about it afterwards, as it relates to teenage issues & spiritual issues.
So far we've shown:
Saved!
Juno
Driving Lessons
We have lots of others that we want to show, but are specificially looking right now for a movie that deals with divorce in some way. Driving Lessons touches on it & it touched a nerve with the kids, so we want to pursue it a little further with our next movie. It seems like most of the ones I can think of all are "mom & dad might get a divorce, we've got to get them back together" and then they all live happily ever after. While I can appreciate the sentiment, I'm looking for something a bit more realistic perhaps. Any suggestions?
Any other movie suggestions would be greatly appreciated too. We like being a bit edgy & giving the kids an opportunity to talk about real issues in their lives. That being said, we are in a relatively elderly, conservative church, so we try not to push our luck TOO much. We like to stir up controversy & get people talking but not get us kicked out of the church basically. Haha!
