Ben Hur is my favorite religiously-themed movie. The silent one was also terrific.
I loved the Zeffirelli film, too.
Must include Passion of the Christ..Greatest Story Ever Told, was that the one with Max von Sydow? Which was the one with Jeffrey Hunter?
I always get a kick out of The 10
Commandments, the acting was so
wonderfully over the top. Great fun!
I loved Peter O’Toole in The Bible.Interesting performance as an angel, IIRC.
This new movie coming out sounds good, I’ll look for it.

I’ve never understood why they had Judas Iscariot jump into a large basin of fire in the Temple instead of hanging himself as is so clearly stated in Scripture. Other parts of The Greatest Story are good.
