Plenty of movies for other holidays. But if there is one for this, it’s escaping me. I noticed the Charlton Heston Moses is on, but that doesn’t strike me as an Easter Movie.

The Ten Commandments is really good, it’s on now and watch it every year.

In terms of specific Easter movies I can’t think of too many. In terms of Christian movies I really like I can only imagine.

There are plenty of films dealing w/the crucifixion/resurrection, but the holiday itself where people celebrate....? Aside from Easter Bunny type things I can't think of one off the top of my head.

Partly this is due to the West deemphasizing Easter for Christmas, especially after German immigrants to the US brought Christmas trees & other traditions. Christmas was actually outlawed in parts of New England during colonial times.

1961

My Dad said he was taken to the movie as a kid only being told the title...he thought it was about Roy Rogers who was the "king of the Cowboys". People don't remember that yesteryear's kids superhero movies were Cowboys.

The wife and I watched some of it last night and she was commenting how it scared the hell out of her as a child seeing it for the first time.

Good movie and a hell of a cast.

The Jesus of Nazareth miniseries from 1977 is still the best full depiction of His life, in my opinion. All-star cast. Beautifully directed. Well-written. Robert Powell is fantastic as Jesus.

Amazon Prime. I paid like $3.99 to own it back in December.

Never heard of that one.

I'm mean, isn't it though, kinda. Sort of the beginning of things that culminated a thousand or so years later.

I try to spread this one out every few years, tough to watch but very powerful.
