Moses, raised as an Egyptian prince in the Pharaoh's household, learns his true heritage as a Hebrew and his divine mission as the savior of his people from slavery.

The Passion Of The Christ is an epic biblical drama film that polarized the critics, and the viewers like probably no other movie before. The Passion Of The Christ follows the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth before his crucifixion. All of the dialogue in this movie is spoken in Hebrew, Latin, and Aramaic with, much to Gibson's objections, English subtitles. Loads of gory violence is used here, and all of those who have watched it either name The Passion Of The Christ as an almost religious experience or as a devastating experience due to the extreme violence. Either way, do not watch this movie with your kids or if you are more on the sensitive side yourself.

1948 | 1 hour 43 minutes | Directed by Charles Walters
 

Starring Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, Albert Hackett

To put it in a simple way, Easter Parade goes like this - a seasoned nightclub performer takes in a naive girl to become his partner. His goal is to make his former partner jealous and to prove that he can make anyone a star. To put it in a less simple way - it's a love triangle like no other! Now, imagine that sung in the voices of Judy Garland and Fred Astaire, and you have the ultimate entertainment that is the Easter Parade.

It follows a group of women in a small-town Southern community who share a special bond and shows their special way of coping after the death of one of their own. Steel Magnolias' star-studded cast is already a huge bonus for a movie-watcher, but that isn't the only thing this film has - it's full of memorable characters, plot twists, and a full-blown melodrama right at the end.

The Last Temptation Of Christ is an epic religious drama film with a story adapted from Nikos Kazantzakis' controversial 1955 novel of the same name. Besides the stellar actors listed above, this movie also stars the amazing Harry Dean Stanton and David Bowie himself. Intriguing, isn't it? The plot revolves around the temptations that Jesus had to repel in his life - those of fear, doubts, depression, reluctance, and lust. However, this isn't a story based on one of the Gospels but rather an in-depth look into the eternal spiritual conflict every one of us face.

That is, two guys who used to work as Easter Bunnies and now must try their hand at every odd job they can find, happily failing at each.

Jesus Christ Superstar is the legendary sung-through rock opera with music by Andrew Lloyd Weber and lyrics by Tim Rice. The story here is loosely based on the accounts of the Passion, interpreting the psychology of Jesus and other surrounding characters. Much of the plot here centers around Judas, who is very dissatisfied with the way Jesus is leading his disciples. Jesus Christ Superstar was a huge success initially and is not losing any of its fame now, and if you haven't watched it or listened to the soundtrack yet, then the time has definitely come!

Ben-Hur is a religious epic film that's a remake of the 1925 silent film of a similar name adapted from the 1880s novel Ben-Hur: A Tale Of The Christ by Lew Wallace. The events in the movie center around Judah Ben-Hur - a rich Jewish prince living in Jerusalem at the beginning of the 1st century. Life's good for Ben-Hur up until his Roman friend betrays him and throws him into prison. That, of course, enrages Ben-Hur, and now his main goals are to regain his freedom and to seek revenge. Although everything is iconic about Ben-Hur, the never-before-seen 9-minute-long chariot race scene absolutely made it into cinema history.

Risen is a biblical drama film detailing a Roman soldier's search for Yeshua's body after his resurrection. It is a truly interesting take on the story of the resurrection, mainly because it is told through a non-believer soldier's eyes, making it a lighter watch than your usual religion-based films. And although critics couldn't decide whether it is a good movie or a mediocre one, giving it only lukewarm reviews, we challenge you to decide this for yourself!
