Courageous [Blu-ray]

The original movie, Courageous, was a breath of fresh air to the "Christian" movie genre. I am a Christ-follower, and I love movies. Too frequently, to describe a movie as "Christian" meant stilted dialogue, unrealistic situations, unrelatable heroes, etc. Courageous is one of the best examples out there of a movie with realistic action, a relatable storyline, background characters who are not cardboard cutouts...something that is truly entertaining to watch while also appealing to the values I have in my life.If you can watch this film without crying at least once, you have achieved the emotionless nirvana. The rest of us need to have a box or two of tissue nearby.I would truly love to see more movies like this one.

I’ve bought this movie at least 3 times. I loan it to someone and never get it back. But it’s ok cause it’s a great movie to share. So I just buy a new one.

Beautiful story

I like the added footage in this anniversary edition!

It was a really good movie I think fathers will really benefit from this movie.

Great movie.

Grat movie.

This review will be different from so many 5 stars. I'm not going to discredit the 5-star ratings, I think it would be good to read how Courageous is, in fact, not opinion, a great movie.My father was born a 7th child of a prostitute (my natural grandmother). He and my aunts and uncles were taken by the state at a very young age. My father and one of my aunts ended up in a foster home. My father was beaten on regular basis by his foster mother and brother. His foster father however did treat him well but did nothing to stop the abuse. And his foster family called themselves Christian. My dad lived with them all the way through high school. My dad through out his hard times chose to remain faithful to Jesus Christ and His teachings. My dad became a well-known evangelist and often worked with the Billy Graham Crusades.Now, would this make my review irrelevant since the Sheriff points out the stats of troubled youth in a fatherless household? No. My father told me when I told him I wish to be a father some day that he was proud to hear me say that. Dad said the reason he wanted to be a father (a good father) was that way my two sisters and I would never experience what he went through growing up. Dad always emphasized the need of having fathers in the household.Also, my dad later went back to his foster family to make amends with my Grandma Weirbach (dad's foster mother) asked for dad's forgiveness and he did. I had great times with Grandma Weirbach until her death.I am about to be a father myself. My fiancee made mistakes in her life choices but repented and came back to the Lord. My future son is the middle child and unlike the oldest sister and the youngest brother his father abandoned them when he was born. As soon as I came into their lives I wanted to let my future son know that I want to be his father and by the grace of God I will raise him well. Just as Courageous portrays. I've only met my future son once because I have been on deployment, but his behavior turned from bad to good. He's doing better in school, he is now a top player in his soccer team, and he tells me he loves me on the ship-to-shore phone. So I am a witness to the power of fathers to the fatherless.I want my son (whom I will be adopting), stepdaughter (who I may adopting as well, long story) and stepson to have the life I had the blessing of God to have. I do not want them to fall into the selfishness of a humanist world. I will be bringing them up as Christians and that by my example they will take my faith as their own.I just bought Courageous here on Amazon after seeing it twice on my deployment, which I'm coming home from; this message must be taught to those who are willing to step out of ignorance and listen.And finally, I have read all of the one-stars here. They are nothing more than anti-Christian propaganda. They claimed they have seen the movie and use scenes from it to prove it. Well I seen similar prejudice reviews on anti-Christian websites by those who did see the movie only to not listen to the message but find ways to make it sound "evil."If you do get this movie listen to it's message. A lot of one-stars are right that it's not Hollywood acting, it's real-life acting. So I got Courageous and Fireproof on Blu-Ray because I am going to make sure that the whole family watches. Maybe make it a tradition. Because it's rare to find a positive, uplifting movie in this day and age of "pessimism is cool."FINAL NOTE: You will be ROFLing at the "Snake Kings" scene. X-D

Bon film evangelique merci

je me rappelle les barres qu'on s'est tapé, il y a plein de bonnes idées dedans, ça reste un film évangélique qui insiste trop lourdement sur la jesuscraïstittude et la bibliscittittude . faudrait que je le regarde de nouveau prochainement.

Una película con un poderoso mensaje, apta para toda la familia.Blu ray Con subtítulos en español (solo la película)La versión en DVD es más completa, incluye audio con subtítulos en español y portugués.

Action packed, great writing and acting. A possible tear-jerker.Slightly different than the original, negligibly and inconsequentially.

Epatant, magnifique hymne à la vie, au respect de soi et des autres dans le sens de ses responsabilités. Belle leçon de vie.
