20+ Movies about Mormons

Hi All, some of you might not know that we are Mormon.  
And you might not know that Mormon's are Christians
That we believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the World.  
In fact the real name of our church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Whether you are curious and want to learn a little more about what Mormon's believe and Mormon Culture, or whether you have been a Mormon for years and would just like something faith based to watch, we hope you will like the movies below!

**Some of these movies are doctrinal, some are just for comedy

 - Let us know if you have any questions**

You might have some misunderstandings about Mormons

Joseph Smith, Prophet of the Restoration
We believe Joseph Smith restored the same gospel and church
 that Christ established when he was on the earth.  
Joseph Smith also translated the Book of Mormon and was the first prophet of this dispensation.  
Here is our #1 recommended film to watch to learn about Joseph Smith and the Mormon faith. 


The Testaments
Mormon's believe that when Christ said "Other sheep I have that are not of this fold" 
that he was referring to people in the Americas.  
We believe that Christ visited the Americas after his Resurrection.  This film tells that story.


Many people know that the Mormon's immigrated to Utah to have a place to practice their religion in peace.  The next 3 films are about that era.

A film about different Mormons from around the world 



On the Lord's Errand - The Life of Thomas S. Monson

Gordon B. Hinckley - A Giant Among Men
Gordon B. Hickley was the last prophet of the Mormon church.  
It's a great film to learn about his life and teachings



I'm sure many of you have seen Mormon missionaries.  They devote 1.5-2 years of their lives at their own expense to come and share a message with you about Jesus Christ and his gospel.  These next 4 films are about missionaries.  (Okay, the first 3 are about missionaries, the 4th about a return missionary)

The R.M. (Meaning the Return Missionary)


Love Kennedy
A touching story about a Mormon girl daughter has a serious illness 
And how she touches lives for the better.


Saturday's Warrior
Mormon's believe that all people on earth are children of God.  This movie is about losing your way and finding your way and the happiness that family and the gospel bring.

My Turn on Earth



Star Child


Mormons love socializing.  This film is about girls camp.   
Once I as a Beehive


Like almost every culture - Mormons love laughing at themselves.  These next 3 films are just funny that.

The Home Teachers
Mormons believe in watching over each other.  So there are 2 men assigned to each family to visit each month and share a gospel message, make sure the family is doing okay, and see if there is anything they can do for the family.  This is a comedy about that.



Mobsters and Mormons
**This film is Derek's film debute - if you haven't seen it, you will want to just for that.
He plays the husband of the busybody of the neighborhood**



Single's Ward
Though most wards (or congregations) are for families, many single young adults (ages 18-30) choose to go to a singles ward instead.  This is a romantic comedy about that.


Single's Ward 2


Like every religion many people might have misunderstandings about Mormons.  These next 2 films document some of the misunderstandings and clear up some of them.

American Mormon in Europe



Movies about the Savior

The Savior Jesus Christ and has made many short clips of the life of The Savior 
Taken straight from the Bible.
