8th Grade CCD Movie Recommendation
Hello All,
The last CCD class of the year for my parish is coming up this Sunday, and since we've blown through the material, I was thinking of showing a movie or something to that effect to the students. If anyone would be willing to throw a few titles, I'd be thankful. The students are all 8th graders, and the class is only 90 minutes long.
Thank you!

Re: 8th Grade CCD Movie Recommendation
We are currently trying to find one ourselves for our 8th grade class as well. We want to have a 'party' for them as it is the last day of the year for class, but we haven't found anything appropriate in that 90 minute frame yet.

Re: 8th Grade CCD Movie Recommendation
How about 'Miracle of Marclino'? It was originally called Marcelino Pan y Vino and came out in 1955. It is available free of charge on youtube and works perfectly with your time schedule-Just under 90 minutes.

Re: 8th Grade CCD Movie Recommendation
I run into this problem at the end of each semester. I like the "Footsteps of God" videos with Steve Ray. They have the feel of a History Channel show and are very interesting. Most big screen movies are too long for a 90 minute class.

Re: 8th Grade CCD Movie Recommendation
I glanced over one I found on Netflix, "John of the Cross". It's just over 60 minutes, which I can work with, but I haven't had the chance to pre-screen it yet. I've also thought about showing them one of the Father Brown mysteries, but I'm afraid that might be a bit too dry for them.

Re: 8th Grade CCD Movie Recommendation
The movie Terese is fairly new and is 1 hour 36 minutes.

Re: 8th Grade CCD Movie Recommendation
Just to follow up-
I ended up using the movie John of the Cross because we started a bit late. I just brought in my computer and jumped on Netflix to show them it, no problems what so ever.

Re: 8th Grade CCD Movie Recommendation
Next year, try the last half of The Ten Commandments starting with when Moses sees the burning bush.
The first have can be skipped.

Re: 8th Grade CCD Movie Recommendation
For that age group, I'd go with a 'secular' movie that actually has religious themes. They think they're watching something cool, and later you have a discussion about deeper meanings. Makes them think...
