If your children have enjoyed "The Chronicles of Narnia" and the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy", they will enjoy many top Catholic movies in NETFLIX. Subscription plans in NETFLIX are considered "great deals" in the movie renting industry.
NETFLIX has top Catholic movies that you can instantly download to your television sets or computers (PC and Mac). For a price of $23.99, you can rent four (4) movies at a time and get unlimited access to selected instant movie downloads. For $8.99, you can opt to get a one-DVD at a time with unlimited video streaming plan. For the budget-conscious viewers, $4.99 presents a great win-win situation. NETFLIX allows you to try out their services for a trial period of 14 days with no obligations to follow through the service.
Since the movie titles in NETFLIX are overwhelming, discerning parents are increasingly having tough times weeding through NETFLIX for their family's movie nights. NETFLIX gives renters customized preferences in their website based on their tastes. Unfortunately, it is difficult for Catholics to weave through the gallery to find highly rated Catholic movies available in NETFLIX. NETFLIX has a category for Faith and Spirituality genres but the system has no specified list for top Catholic movies. Thus, it has been a hassle to find these movies recommended and highly rated by Catholics.
The New Generation of Catholic Viewers
For quite some time, Catholic parents turn off their television sets during the Lenten season. In recent years, Christians are canceling their cable services and stopping television addictions in their homes. There are too many undesirable elements in today's television networks. Even with the movies in Hollywood, themes are mostly desperate and depressing. The movies reflect a mirror of hell rather than heaven.
The new generation of Catholic movie viewers, highly selective in their movie choices for their children, prefer themes that celebrate ideals and values that will promote a positive influence in their lives. In Catholic families, the choices of movies in their household are primarily parent-driven. Catholic parents, do not rely on secular cinematic reviews. They scrutinize the movies in NETFLIX for age and maturity considerations. Catholic movie viewers join discussion groups in online forums such as Catholic Answers, Love2Learn.Net Movie Review Blog, Vatican's Top Movie Lists to get trustworthy reviews of the best Catholic movies of all times. Catholic movies that contain both moral and entertainment values, hit the charts of Catholic homes.
Recently, "Superheroes stories", also called "Saints stories", produced by independent foreign film makers, have enjoyed favorable reviews. These foreign Catholic movies are emotionally compelling, engrossing and engaging even for non-Catholics youth. Teens experience their first time to cry, not out of pity for the characters or events, but out of love for profound truths discovered.
