It’s basically common knowledge at this point that Christian movies have a reputation for being, well, pretty full of cheese. Some stand out much better than others, like the recent Jesus Revolution film or The Passion of the Christ, which is the highest grossing faith-based film of all time.
But overall, the rest of the genre is so cheesy it can be unbearable. We asked the RELEVANT audience to pick the most cheesy Christian movie of all time. We picked a few of our favorite responses — and don’t worry, we’ve included links to a trailer to get a glimpse of the cheesiness for yourself:

Who WASN’T at least a little freaked out by the Left Behind series?
Any of the Left Behind.
Or Fireproof. Or Facing the Giants.

For years, every men’s retreat consisted of a double feature of Fireproof and Facing the Giants.
None of these listed in the comment thread or nearly as cheesy as Saving Christmas

The best way to sum up Saving Christmas is to quote a YouTube commenter who said, “I saw this movie on a plane, and people still walked out.”

If only Bibleman could cash in on some Marvel money…
A Christian romance drama starring Ja Rule and Adrienne Bailon is exactly what we expected it to be.

There’s no better ’90s cheesy nostalgia than Second Glance.

Were you really a ’90s youth kid if you don’t watch The Buttercream Gang at least once?
I don't know if "cheesy" is the right word, or even "Christian," but it's all time something. "A priest inherits a mysterious ability that allows him to turn into a dinosaur. At first horrified by this new power, a hooker convinces him to use it to fight crime. And ninjas." pic.twitter.com/ntNrrnJFGF

While Velocipastor is a technically categorized as a Christian movie, it sails right past cheesy into just plain bad.
All of them?

This is the only correct answer.
