The Faith and Film Critics Circle (FFCC) \u2013 more than a dozen Christian film critics taking films seriously as works of art \u2013 are already busy suggesting and considering films for next year\u2019s FFCC Awards. The cool thing about the FFCC awards \u2026 YOU are welcome to suggest films for their consideration in these categories as well.<\/p>\n

Post your entry in the COMMENTS below, and I will add your selections to the Master List. But you must enter them in this simple format:<\/p>\n

Best Director
\nDanny Boyle \u2013 Millions<\/p>\n

Best Narrative Film
\nMillions<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Could anything be easier than that? (Please don\u2019t make me go looking up names\u2026 it becomes a hassle. If you want to recommend someone, take the time to write out their name. Thanks.)<\/p>\n

You can also nominate films by emailing your choices to me at lookingcloserreview@msn.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll amend the list as the year goes on. At this stage, here are films that have been nominated.<\/p>\n
