The Passion of the Christ. this modern adaptation of the last days of Christ is quite good. i have been to at least 3 churches that show clips from this movie during communion Sundays. the gore factor i believe is quite called for. plus the visuals are stunning.
The Last Temptation of Christ. this movie is not the gospel. i repeat, this is not the gospel. this is Martin Scorsese's adaptation of the gospel story. it is very controversial, it has been banned by the catholic church some years back. i know of one person who absolutely had to stop the film because he cannot allow the way Jesus is interpreted in some scenes. i repeat, this is not the gospel. open the Bible and read Mark, John, Luke and Matthew. those are the gospel books.
The Greatest Story Ever Told. i just got this copy this afternoon. i will post a review after i see it. i do know that it took USD 20 million to make this film. Hmmm....
One Night with the King. for good measure, i will throw in this movie based on the old testament Book of Esther. i love that book! when i read it, i had a movie playing in my head. i was pleasantly surprised when i found out it has indeed been made into a movie. the movie, admittedly, is rather lame: script is long-winded, actors over-act, even the title is not good. but the Book of Esther rocks!does anyone have a copy of Cecil B. DeMille's The King of Kings? or does anyone know where i can get one?

waaaah i was just about to comment that "King of Kings" is my ultimate favorite Jesus movie. i think i watched the remake done in 1961, not the cecil b. demille version. basta yung may Handel's Hallelujah sa dulo. (eto yung trailer: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Tbc1GbLpXtQ). ang pogi ni Jesus. hehe
and my ultimate favorite old testament movie is another cecil b. demille opus: The Ten Commandments; how predictable.
hehehe... i always get teary-eyed when i hear the score from The Ten Commandments.
na ka King of Kings? ganahan gyud ko mutan-aw ani.. hehehe
