Easter/Jesus movies

What movies are out there? Closest I have is "Dogma" I think I'll go and pop that in while my "meast" digests. Or fall asleep then wake up for "meast" part 2 [:D]. Gonna make John Candy proud. Also the toilet will tremble at the punch it will take. KAPOWIE [:D].

I enjoy watching "Jesus Of Nazareth" during Easter week. The quite long mini series from Franco Zepherelli that came out back in the 70's.

I have it on VHS but this year, I could not find my copy's[V]

It has an all star cast and IMO, Robert Powell does the best portrayal of Jesus I have seen in movie form. It goes from his birth, known life, death, and resurrection.

"The greatest story ever told" was on last night. Greatest "story"? :-)

+1 The greatest story ever told. What a cast and yes a excellent story.

Yup I got none of them. I did almost pick up "Ben Hur" the remake with Morgan Freeman but I passed on it. I didn't think it was a Easter kind a movie, more "Spartacus".

If it's the one they made a year or so ago, I didn't like it. They changed the story so that Massala didn't get killed and later he and Judah became friends again. Ridiculous!

I watched the Heston version again today, and nothing can surpass it. It's magnificent, and deserved all the Oscars it won.
