...Andre's "Hey Ya" that sold both halves. Pop fans, rock fans, rap fans, children, Mennonites, high-school principals, the elderly, terrorists - everybody loved this song. Animals loved it. Silverware loved it. You could play it in a forest with nobody to hear it and have complete faith that the very trees would throw up their branches...
...panoramic docudrama The Execution of Justice, also from 1984. Josh Brolin plays him here and has much more to work with than he did as George Bush in W. This is a portrait, from the inside, of a man who fought the validation of homosexuality because his Catholic faith and his constituents wouldn't stand for it - and because, the movie suggests, he was roiled by unresolved gay issues of his own.

That may be why religion doesn't stick once...
...VanDyke Colbys aim to help students explore their faith in an informed way. Each Sunday the students get a brief presentation by a representative of that week's church and sit in on a service, taking notes and joining in worship when they're so inclined. Afterward, they pile into the van and head back to campus, where they discuss the experience in the dining hall over sausages and waffles. "We invite them into some critical thinking," says Don, by examining the core tenets of each faith beyond the feel-good trappings that his wife shorthands as "Jesus...
