Television is the retina
of the mind's eye.
Hah, iTunes has the trailer up for a gem called Persecuted set for May 2014 that I haven't watched yet (at work right now, so it's going to remain unwatched for the time being), but check out this awesome blurb:

"Nationally acclaimed evangelist John Luther is the last obstacle in the way of sweeping religious reform in the States. When a U.S. Senator and Luther's own supporters abduct and frame him in the murder of an innocent teenage girl, an unprecedented era of persecution is unleashed. Out on personal recognizance, Luther escapes police surveillance in search of the truth. And suddenly, a once-normal life is targeted by a team of ex-military operatives who wage a relentless campaign to eliminate the incriminating evidence. As evangelist turned fugitive, Luther vows to expose anyone involved with or profiting from the girl's murder; a mission that brings him face-to-face with the coming storm of persecution that will threaten the entire Christian community in America."

Why would his own supporters be part of this conspiracy?

Must be liberal atheist sleeper agents who pretended to support him while biding their time. They even celebrated Christmas, the cads.... The conspiracy runs deep.

Thanks so much for all the suggestions. I'm sure some have been done already, but I'll make up a list and consult with the pastor. We always want to keep it PG-13 or under, and nudity makes things very complicated. (We watched Unbroken, which has a very brief scene in which the nude, male actors are seen from behind. Kids didn't care, but we had to say a million disclaimers.)

Perhaps:
Logan's Run
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
The Day the Earth Stood Still (original - remake in a pinch)

Ooh - and Chariots of Fire

I didn't know pastor, priest, deacon, and the rest were Greek words. I mean, he's not basing those terms off a translated version of the bible, is he? Nah.

So Kirk is doing blackface?! Dude, unless your name is Robert Downey Jr, NO.

I don't see any Asians on that IMDB list either....

Jeremy Irons never impressed me in any movie he was in.

Have you seen Dead Ringers? That's his tour de force.

How about Reversal of Fortune? He won the Oscar for that.

In his Academy Awards acceptance speech for Reversal of Fortune, he pauses near the end and says, “Thank you also, and some of you may understand why…thank you David Cronenberg.”

There was widespread feeling at the time that he really deserved the Oscar for Dead Ringers, and was rewarded later instead for Reversal of Fortune - a more mainstream film.

Edit: I'm not saying he didn't deserve one for Reversal of Fortune, but he did a fantastic job in Dead Ringers.
