SEASON 1: EPISODE 5: “Our 20 Most Spiritually Significant Films of All Time: #17”
On this episode, Amy Welborn and I continue to countdown our 20 most spiritually significant films of all time. Here’s where things currently stand:
Amy
The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)
The Third Man (1949)
The Exorcist (1973)
Chris
Winter Light (1963)
The Mission (1986)
Bringing Out the Dead (1999)
Next up, then, is the #17 film on our respective lists. Serendipitously, we have each chosen movies by the filmmaking duo Joel and Ethan Coen, often referred to simply as the “Coen Brothers.” I have selected the Coen Brothers’ cult classic The Big Lebowski (1998); Amy has picked their satirical comedy O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000). Our thesis is this: humor, satire, and even bawdiness can be spiritually meaningful as well. Links to Spotify and to Apple Podcasts are found below. So please join us and, if you haven’t already, subscribe. To quote Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson) in O Brother, Where Art Thou?: “Come on in…the water is fine!”

I’m enjoying your podcasts. We are not big movie fans, but have some favorites. It’s interesting to hear your perspectives on different topics. Well done. Check out Baba Java. Great coffee and might be, not quiet, but more quiet than O’Henry’s.
