Like more formal religious institutions, films can provide us with ways to view the world and the values to confront it. Lyden argues that the cultural influence of films is analogous to that of religions, so that films can be understood as representing a \"religious\" worldview in their own right. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThoroughly updating his examples, Lyden examines a range of film genres and individual films, from \u003ci\u003eThe Godfather\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eThe Hunger Games\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eFrozen\u003c\/i\u003e, to show how film can function religiously.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn C.
