- Hope: The Shawshank Redemption
- Charity: A Tale of Two Cities
- Courage: Braveheart
- Justice: 12 Angry Men
- Temperance: The Age of Innocence
- Prudence: Capital V for Virtue [This short Australian movie covers several virtues, including prudence.]
Faith (belief despite absence of evidence or despite evidence to the contrary)
Hope (expectation of good despite uncertainty about the future)
Charity (philanthropy: love of humankind)
Courage (positive action despite fear)
Justice (fairness; giving what is deserved)
Temperance (a moderate response to one's appetites)
Prudence (discretion in practical matters)
I admit that the movies I have chosen don't adhere to these definitions exactly, but finding examples that do would seem to be difficult. If you can think of better examples, please suggest them (or it).
