I have Singles Ward, The RM and Church Ball because I've known Kurt Hale for almost 30 years and he sent me free copies. My kids love 'em, so they stay.

If you would add "False" as one of the choices, that would be the one I would choose.

I notice you carefully did not include the home teachers, which I think was a halestorm video. It was really, truly, bad.

Is it a Halestorm film? Kurt didn't send it to me, but then, perhaps he isn't proud of it.

Kurt wrote The Singles Ward and while a lot of the humor in it is inside LDS humor, there is a lot of inside jokes that only those who grew up in the same ward would get. Perhaps that's why I don't hate it.

I voted for the Singles Ward, mainly because it came out while I was in a singles ward, and I could quickly identify every character with somebody in our ward. That and I found a lot of truth to most of what happened in the movie.

Of the other choices, I've only seen a few; I watched God's Army on my mission for a family home evening with the hottest Chilean I saw during my whole two years... they had just made a trip to Utah and picked up the movie and since they all spoke perfect English (seriously, her and her sister sounded like Valley Girls, it was awesome) we watched it for FHE one night. They were planning on bringing non-member friends, but they all backed out. Good times.

The rest of the movies, I don't think I finished. I think I watched the first Work and The Glory. I watched maybe 30 minutes of Church Ball, but couldn't finish it because it was so disappointingly bad. Never saw Brigham City, or any of the others.

If Brigham City gets any votes at all, this is proof of just how awful this genre is. Brigham City was terrible. The Bishop/Sheriff enlisting the deacons to help canvas the community in a hunt for a killer? Please......

Most of the commonly exhibited Church art is trash. Dialogue and Sunstone actually exhibit Church art bearing consideration.

I think I went on two or three man hunt's when I was a deacon...happens all the time Lebowski.

We raided panties at that age, among other things. Does that almost count?

Crap. All I did was gather fast offerings.
