Tripel,
There are lots of movies with false views of justification/sanctification. Are you only interested in movies that display the doctrines acurately?

Yes, it is preferable that they are positive examples...though it's an interesting question. I know of some movies that do such a great job of capturing an atheistic worldview that it leaves the viewer wanting a better explanation for life. If you know of a negative example that does such a thing, by all means, but otherwise I'm wanting something a Christian will recognize as justification or sanctification.

One movie I am considering so far is 1998's Les Miserables.

Good website with good and bad stuff. Use with discretion.
WARNING: I have come across several second commandment violations in some of the videos.

This film has a lot of very interesting redemptive themes and is well worth watching.

It's a little off the mark, but Gran Torino has some themes that hint in this direction. Worth watching in any event.

Really?! Lots of bad language in it. It was shocking to some of my family. I absolutely loved the movie but I didn't see any good views of justification and sanctification. The man was dying of cancer and decided to sacrifice his life for his friends. I do have to admit that the passage that says, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends," did come to mind. But the only justification I saw was Roman Catholic and the confessional.

"Our object should not be to have scripture on our side but to be on the side of scripture; and however dear any sentiment may have become by being long entertained, so soon as it is seen to be contrary to the Bible, we must be prepared to abandon it without hesitation."
