At the chruch I grew up in and when VHS came into the homes in the late 1970's I saw a few Christian movies. One of them was Ordinary Guy. It runs a little over an hour. It is around 70 minutes. The main character of the movie is named Guy. Guy has great job opportunity and a beautiful fiancee. Guy is already a Christian but still feels that his life is missing something. He realizes he has not been living his faith every day. So he decides to change all of that. Alot of pressure comes his way from this decision. His fiancee breaks up with him when an old boyfriend of hers comes back and the job opportunity goes away. Still he feels better about his life. He helps out more at his church and starts an inner city ministry for kids. Later he meets another girl. She is not a Christian but Guy leads her to Christ. Just like life is for real Christians the movie has a bittersweet ending. Guy looses his life when he does the right thing in a difficult situation. However, we do see him again when he is in Heaven. It all turned out that Guy wasn't ordinary anymore. His total commitment to Christ got extraordinary results. Like many Christian films, espically those from back then, it was shot on a shoestring budget. The writing and directing were pretty good. The acting was ok and the message of course was wonderful. If you like to see these kind of films you can click here & buy the movie.
