Best (and worst) movies about Jesus Christ


For the Easter season I've compiled and reviewed 25 films about Jesus Christ, from the 1920's to the present. This one's on it, of course. What's your favorite?

For films actually about Jesus, I'd have to say Jesus of Nazareth.
Ben Hur, the novel, is one of my favourites, but as much as I loved the movie it left so much out. Jesus pretty much only got a cameo at the beginning and at the end.

This film seemed to just keep throwing out things Jesus said, but not in the correct settings and context.

And as for Judas doing his belly flop into the altar.....
