I'm looking for examples of Justification and/or Sanctification as shown in movies. Suggestions?

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

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. -----Added 9/16/2009 at 01:13:21 EST-----
One movie I am considering so far is 1998's Les Miserables.

To End All Wars (David Cunningham)
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.

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.
