Palm Sunday and religious movies
Today is Palm Sunday. This is a very significant day for the christian religion.
Next Sunday is Easter.
Being at home with my daughter and I not feeling well, we decided to go through some religious movies that we really like to watch today.
The one that we like the most would be Ben Hur. I saw a broken friendship in that movie that turned very bad in spite that is was about Christ.
What would be on your list of being your favorite religious movie?
Please be polite and only stick to the topic, this is about movies, not debating about religion in itself.

"The Life Of Brian"? No, just kidding. Actually "The Name Of The Rose" with Sean Connery comes to mind.
Which one? Likewise.
The Ten Commandments is great fun.
The Last Temptation Of Christ by Scorsese was very good.
There is a film called The Way , starring Martin Sheen as a 60 something man who makes a pilgrimage across France and Spain to a holy shrine to honor his son who died in a storm on a previous pilgrimage, which was a good movie with open spiritual overtones.
There is a movie called The Rapture which involves people disappearing off the face of the earth as the end times unfold that is just weird.
I (guess I) liked Mel Gibson's, 'The Passion of the Christ,' I even bought it on CD. I have it . . . safe. I could only watch it once. Maybe I can. . . .
I hope that our members are mature enough to follow your polite and simple request.
Among my favorites:
"The Green Pastures" (1936)
"Quo Vadis" (1951)
"The Robe" (1953)
"The Greatest Story Ever Told" (1965)
"The Passion of the Christ" (2004)
I hope you'll feel better soon, Kathleen.
