Are you looking for a great Latter-day Saint themed movie to watch this week but want to be sure it will be worth your time? I've asked around and found out which movies are really favorites so you don't have to waste time sorting through to find a good one.
Save it for later, pin it now!
Keep in mind these movies make great:
Youth activity nights
Family Home Evenings
Missionary tools and more!
You can watch several of these videos through a Living Scriptures Streaming Subscription and right now, I can hook you up your first month free. You can also find some on Netflix and Amazon Prime so check those out first to be sure you like the movie before you buy it. I marked all the ones you can watch with Living Scriptures because they will be there for awhile but other services are constantly changing.
Your Most Loved Latter-day Saint Movies
Once I Was a Beehive is by far and away the crowd favorite and I agree. It's full of humor, insights, and boosts your own testimony in the process. Lane Speer is a 16-year-old girl dealing with the loss of her father when she somehow gets roped into attending a Latter-day Saint girls camp with her new cousin who is a Beehive. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and even cringe. Don't miss it! You can watch it now on Netflix and Amazon Prime but I recommend buying Once I Was a Beehive- it's the kind of movie worth supporting.
