Basic Christian: Decoded Movies GALLIPOLI (1981) Two Australian sprinters face the brutal realities of war when they are sent to fight in the Gallipoli campaign in Turkey during World War I. imdb.com Gallipoli (1981) is a film that also depicts the "Sand Hills" that the movie “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” (1966) alludes to in the final graveyard battle. The movie Gallipoli very accurately portrays modern military and service personal including my 1981-1984 USMC service and deployments. ~ David Anson Brown

The Prodigal (1983) by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association - World Wide Pictures (WWP) starring John Hammond as Greg Stuart is a movie that is a bit similar the prodigal experience I had between my honorable discharge from the USMC in Dec. 1984 and my attending Calvary Chapel School of Ministry (SoM) 1996-98.

After SoM while working on my writing projects I was living in San Clemente, CA and from Aug. 2001 to April 2002 was a volunteer with Campus Crusade for Christ (Military Crusade for Christ) a few evenings a week for a Christian study at the recreation room YMCA [now a Navy Relief office] at USMC Camp San Onofre on Camp Pendleton, CA. In 2003 I drove from San Clemente to attend the Military Appreciation Night at a Billy Graham Crusade in San Diego, CA , the topic of Billy Graham’s message was “The Prodigal”. A few days later I wrote a short article about the Billy Graham Crusade event. Following is the 2003 article that I posted for my Basic Christian Ministry.
