rushgoober Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I haven't seen a lot, but one of my favorite movies of all time is easily The Last Temptation of Christ. I hope this thread lasts and doesn't become too religious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steevo Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 All out seriously probably Jesus of Nazareth with Robert Powell. Its a bit dated but has a great cast and is the one that has remained for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphseeker Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Guess someone has to say it but "passion of christ" - No Jesus film highlights the severity of what he went through that night to die for our sins - Yes it may have been a little over the top but the Romans were brutal - Had to admit it made me shed a few tears - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My vote goes to both The Passion of the Christ and The Life of Brian. What a great double feature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, Passion was a good movie, but I couldn't stop bawlin' when they started to crucify Christ... I don't think I could ever watch that movie again...

A powerful and moving film IMHO. I saw "Temptation" once. Thought it was pretty good artistically. I'm trying to remember the lead who played Jesus. Can see his face, but can't remmember his name. If I recall the story right, it focused on the the things that Jesus gave up to fulfill his mission. Namely, a wife and child. The real temptation was not having a "normal life". Right? The visual of the little girl pulling the nails out was really powerful. She was suppose to be the devil? She was the temptation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, the little girl was an incarnation of Satan. "She" changes back to a flame (an earlier identity) when Jesus is dying and the world is falling apart as a result of Jesus giving in to temptation. I thought it did a good job of showing the humanity of Jesus. The divine nature triumphs at the end. Rarely do people stop to consider what might have happened if God had "taken this cup" from his son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HisCounterpart Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 QUOTE (goose @ Apr 11 2009, 05:14 AM) I always liked Jesus Christ Superstar. Haven't seen it in ages, but way back in the day it made quite an impression on me. Aw I'm so glad someone mentioned it! I love it. Very well made and I absolutely love the rock-opera itself, althought it's about the only Lloyd Webber thing I can be bothered with. I wasn't too keen on Jesus's singing, but it's always hard to try fill Gillan's shoes. To think, I saw the film first and then heard the original version actually, and I have to say in retrospect everything in the film apart from Jesus's vocals seems an improvement to me...
