I often see facebook posts of people looking for good, wholesome movies to watch with their spouse or their family. Because of that, I thought I'd make a list of netflix movies that our family has enjoyed, found educational, etc... If you have some you think I should add to this list, leave me a comment.

Comments
But what Gladys Alyward did with the foot-binders and the Gospel is amazing. I love how (not in this movie) she, who was short and had dark eyes and black hair and always felt left-out in England, stepped off the train in China and saw all the Chinese, who were likewise short and had dark hair and eyes and knew she was where she was meant to be.
Also, this movie doesn't quite get her heart for the Lord Jesus as much as she did. It was because of her love for the Lord that she loved the people so.
Still a good movie, though.
