The Good Samaritan (1989)
The Good Samaritan tells the most touching parable that Jesus ever taught. The story begins with the lawyer’s trick question, “What is the greatest commandment?” As Jesus answers with the story of the robbers, the Rabbi, the Levite and the wounded traveler becomes real. Imagine the traveler’s emotion as his own countrymen pass by while his enemy, a Samaritan, stops to help him. Jesus teaches us to love and serve one another no matter how we differ.

That was an excellent one.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
The acting in this movie is really good.
Well, well, well! Goodness gracious! I think I watched this 12 or 13 years ago! Wow, it's funny that I should run across it now while searching Orson Scott Card's writing credits (he has one on this film).What can I say about this movie? I watched it forever ago. I don't remember what the movie was like. All I remember, though, was that I really liked it when I watched it because I liked feeling sad for the man who got hurt on the way to Jerusalem. Even back then as a six-year-old I liked the really sad films! Can I recommend this film to you? I have no idea. I seemed to like it as a kid, though I never watched it more than once and I didn't dwell on it. But I have no idea about its cinematic merits. Maybe your kids will like it, maybe they won't. To be honest, I'm writing this review merely because I love myself a trip down memory lane.
