The best christian faith movie ever made was the Jesus of Nazareth mini-series from the 70s.

Outstanding cast and fantastic score.

Nothing comes close to it in the Christian faith category.

Although, The Ten Commandments was pretty darn good too.

It isn't exactly about God but I think "The Matrix" is about religion.

if we're going that route then star wars would qualify too.

I don't know if you would call it a religious movie, but I always liked What Dreams May Come with Robin Williams. More of a Dante's Inferno-esque movie than religious though.

Brian: I'm not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I am not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly!
Girl: Only the true Messiah denies His divinity.
Brian: What? Well, what sort of chance does that give me? All right! I am the Messiah!
Followers: He is! He is the Messiah!
Brian: Now, frick off!
[silence]
Arthur: How shall we frick off, O Lord?

quote:

Ex-Leper: Okay, sir, my final offer: half a shekel for an old ex-leper?
Brian: Did you say "ex-leper"?
Ex-Leper: That's right, sir, 16 years behind a veil and proud of it, sir.
Brian: Well, what happened?
Ex-Leper: Oh, cured, sir.
Brian: Cured?
Ex-Leper: Yes sir, bloody miracle, sir. Bless you!
Brian: Who cured you?
Ex-Leper: Jesus did, sir. I was hopping along, minding my own business, all of a sudden, up he comes, cures me! One minute I'm a leper with a trade, next minute my livelihood's gone. Not so much as a by-your-leave! "You're cured, mate." Bloody do-gooder.

The best of the Monty Python movies. Yes, better than Holy Grail. It has some of the best lines of all their movies.

What was flawed about it? Just wondering because I'm not religious nor have I read the bible, but I was inspired by the story.

It was a movie. Some poetic license was taken for the sake of the movie.

Apparently that pisses the OP off.

Can't imagine a movie based on a historical event that he could possibly enjoy.
