At Men at the Movies, we discuss the movies we love and why we love them. We discover what these modern parables say about who we were created to be. Our hearts reveal a roadmap to our design, and the movies that resonate most are worthy of examination to identify the truth about the men our world needs, the men God designed us to become.
