10 Great Movies about C.S. Lewis and the Inklings
C.S. Lewis was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1898. He taught English literature at Oxford and later Cambridge University, and was a prolific writer, lay theologian, and literary critic. He wrote such beloved classics as the Chronicles of Narnia, Mere Christianity, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and many others. Not only did Lewis leave a great literary legacy, but so did his friend J.R.R. Tolkien and other friends in their writing group, the Inklings.
Given their popularity, it’s not surprising some very brilliant movies have been made about the Lewis and the other Inklings. These movies capture their struggles, loss, friendships, joys, literary achievements, and love for Christ and people.
Here is a list of ten movies worth watching.
