Best Two Years is probably the best of the bunch. Tallest midget.

Singles Ward gave Hailstorm the chance to make some good money off of movies about the quirky LDS culture...but they got lazy. RM was bad, Home Teachers was worse than Susical. And Church Ball (which had been anticipated once Singles ward was such a hit) sucked big time...

I haven't seen many of those movies, but I can't bring myself to vote for any of them.

They are all forgettable.

To be honest, I have read "In the Eye of the Storm" (Other side of Heaven) and I don't believe it is an honest book.

I've seen 0 of them. Couldn't even tell you a synopsis. Let me ask a question. How many of these would any of you be embarrassed to have in your collection?

All of the above.

Once again, the more I read this board (of all places) the more I think, maybe, I'm actually an in-active memeber. I have not seen a single one of these movies.

The thing about Brigham City is that somehow "surprisingly this doesn't completely suck" got turned into "you are the Mormon wordsworth and shakespeare" in Richard Dutcher's mind. LOL.

The church isn't interested in having flawed characters portrayed as being Mormon, so I dont' expect there to be good Mormon-themed films, probably ever.

I think you're right. You say you're in the YM program, yet you've never had a popcorn party with the YW to watch Down and Derby.

You no longer have any credibility in these parts until you are able to give an honest summary of at least one of those movies listed on the poll and a book review of at least two of Sheri Dews Deseret Book's bestselling titles.
