Feb 24, 2004 · The movie is 126 minutes long, and I would guess that at least 100 of those minutes, maybe more, are concerned specifically and graphically with the details of the torture and death of Jesus. This is the most violent film I have ever seen.
Oct 26, 2005 · A viewer unfamiliar with the biblical teaching on the substitutionary atonement of Christ will have no way to connect the dots between his own personal sin and the death of Christ. In other words, the movie indicates only that Christ died. It does not declare why He died.

The first movie I remember watching as a child was Ben Hur. I watched it with my mother. It was the 1959 version of the film. While the movie is not specifically about Jesus, it tells the story of a Jew living in Judaea facing the rivalry of a childhood friend. Through his eyes we see Jesus. We meet Jesus in his humanity. Charlton Heston stars in t...
Roma Downey and Mark Burnett are amazing movie producers. Everything this couple produces is professionally and beautifully produced. The special effects, the acting, and the cinematography are all top-level. The movie was filmed in Morocco, creating beautiful realistic scenery that would not be captured on a set in Hollywood. The musical score in ...
Roma Downey and Mark Burnett continue their work with this TV series, A.D. The Bible continues. It is a continuation of their T.V. Series The Bible, which I also recommend. I am a homeschool mom, and I used both the Bibleand the A.D. The Bible Continuesas my Bible Curriculum for my children. They loved the break from bookwork, and both of these ser...
In thisfilm, we hear the voice of Christopher Plummer who narrators the story of the life of Jesus Christ. Christopher Plummer is my all-time favorite actor; we all fell in love with him as Captain Van Trap in The Sound of Music. He passed away in 2021, and so this is one of his last pieces of work. The Gospel of Johnis the book of the Bible I reco...
You can not talk about movies portraying Jesus without mentioning The Chosen. The Chosen is multi-season series that can be found on the Free App. We see the life of Jesus of Nazareth through the eyes of his disciples, and we fall in love with Him, the way his followers did. This is the best betrayal of Jesus in my opinion. Jonathan Roumie’s portra...
Watching The Nativity Storywill be your new Christmas tradition. Kid-friendly movies are important and this one tells the story of Joseph and Mary and the events that led to Jesus’ birth. Because much of this part of the story is not found in the Bible there are many parts added creativity. Some parts are added based on what we know from History, o...
While the Nativity Story is a Family- Friendly movie, the Passion of Christis an Adult only movie. This Mel Gibson film tells the story of the crucifixion of Jesus in great detail. Jim Caviezel, who I know from the T.V. series Person of Interest, plays Jesus in this film. His portrayal of the death of Jesus on the Cross is something I could not fin...
In this film we are not watching a movie about the life of Jesus, but the question of who Jesus Christ is. While the other movies were Bible Stories, this is a story of how Jesus moves in the world today. This is a true story with the Christian themes found in apologetics. This movietakes place in Chicago in the 1980s and tells the story of Lee and...
This is another movie that doesn’t tell the story of Jesus but tells the story of people searching for answers. Who is Jesus? Does Jesus have any impact on our lives today? Is Jesus relevant today? This is a true story. I went to see this movie in the theaters a few months ago with my husband, and we both loved it. I grew up in a pastor’s home, in ...

- The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1964) Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, the film (it’s Italian title is Il Vangelo Secondo Matteo) is a 1964 drama of the story of Jesus based on Saint Matthew’s account.
- The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) A year after Pasolini’s film, The Greatest Story Ever Told is one of those epic movies popular in the 1960s. While Pasolini’s film was simple and low-budget, The Greatest Story Ever Told retells the Biblical account of Jesus life in grandiose style and cost $20 million at the time.
- Jesus of Nazareth (1977) A TV mini-series about the life of Jesus featuring some of the biggest names in movie history wasn’t just a dream, but it was actually made into one of the best representations regarding the life of Jesus.
- The Passion of the Christ (2004) The Mel Gibson film takes all four gospels and recounts the final 12 hours of Jesus’ life, highlighted by the Passion.

- The Bible: In The Beginning... While "The Bible: In The Beginning..." isn't the first movie to be based on the Bible, or even the oldest movie on our list, it's a good place to start, given the Book of Genesis is literally the first book of the Bible.
- Noah. While Biblical epics were Old Hollywood's bread and butter, Hollywood's relationship with Bible-based movies for the past 40 years has been, well, odd.
- Jesus Christ Superstar. Let's get this out of the way first — there's no Biblical evidence that Jesus Christ was a high tenor who sang throughout his earthly ministry.
- The Miracle Maker. A movie about the life of Jesus Christ, but told in stop-motion, claymation style, à la Rankin/Bass, sounds like a "SNL" skit in really poor taste.
Jesus is arrested, beaten, convicted of blasphemy and sentenced to death. Roman Governor Pontius Pilate sends him to King Herod. Herod sees Jesus as a fool and releases him back to Pilate. Fearing a revolt, Pilate offers a choice to the crowd between Jesus and Barabbas.
