Since it's Easter: Favorite biblical epic

Let's try to avoid discussions concerning theology and religion (probably impossible considering the topic) and just tell us all your favorite biblical epic. The one you find the best/most entertaining.
For me…I'd have to go with Jesus of Nazareth (1977). Franco Zeffirelli's TV miniseries is still the gold standard when it comes to the story of Jesus IMO.

Does The Ten Commandments count? It is like 4 hours.

If it's found in the Bible or if it is related to the Bible (aka Ben-Hur) then it counts.

Well then. The Ten Commandments.
Its old and has shown its age, but it gives me that nostalgic feeling as I remember watching with my parents when I was young.

The Mormons made one about 12 years ago. I think it was called "The Testaments". The central characters were a religious man in the New World who was waiting for the Messiah and his son who strayed from the path of righteousness. They included a lot of well known New Testament passages.

It's tough for me to say no to either of the Heston Classics, Ten Commandments and Ben-Hur.
I do like Greatest Story Ever Told and The Robe for New Testament, Jesus-centered epics.

I would imagine that for kids who didn't grow up going to church, it is all they knew from The Bible.

Good call on prince of Egypt

As I've said before, I hated them all. They were on Easter night, which meant they were a harbinger of having to go back to school the next day.

Jesus of Nazareth and King of Kings are my co-favorites
Samson and Delilah was great as well. It's finally on DVD!
