Jesus of Nazareth...hands down; best film ever made, IMO...{I've only watched it maybe 15 times, often with my elementary students.}

[Guest forgiven02134]

Matthew has it for me.

There was also a clay-mation on the life of Christ that was superb - The Miracle Worker, or something like that? Anyone remember/see it?

1. Time Changer

2. Cross and the Switchblade

3. A.D.

4. The Mission

5. Left Behind 1 and 2

It's so sad, because there isn't that many out there to pick from.

I also like a double-video set called, "Joseph"...about Joseph being sold into slavery...it's NOT for children...I'd give it a PG rating because it's tastefully done but due to the sexual implication with Potipher's wife, it's really not for the little ones..

I'd say 12 and up might be okay...there's no nudity but it was clear Potipher's wife had an interest in Joseph and was quite determined to get what she wanted...

Great movie! Abraham was also good and so was Jacob...

I also like Jeremiah films - most are documentary format but very educational and interesting.

Sorry if too harsh, I'm quite opinionated with movies... I'll put the critical stuff in the middle...

Thumbs up list :

Jesus of Nazareth (the best Jesus movie by far)

Ben Hur - good classic

Matthew (would like to see it all, closer to true scripture)

The Bible (can't remember much, Noah was funny I think)

Huh?! list (aka thumbs down):

Cross and the Switchblade (come on guys...)

A Walk To Remember (is it really christian? just watch the music video. Its nice to know the main chracter went to heaven and then decided to dress like a slut -- sorry if offends, true though)

Ten Commandments (so far off scripture its not even funny, they didn't have to mess with the story to make it better, its quite amazing on its own)

Jesus Movie (can't say two thumbs down but man its pretty dry story telling)

The Climb? (my sister tried to get me on this one, like most "christian" movies, I avoid to avoid embarassment)

Which brings us to "The Judas Project"

- it really almost had me in some parts, but then...

- worst casting in history (ie. Simon Peter)

- worst soundtrack in history (bar none)

- bad editing(pit stain), bad acting(most actors)

- really bad concept (I mean come on, Jesse? I understand what they were trying to do but...)

Any Kirk Cameron movies (need I explain? glad he's saved though)

Same with Busey!

Noah's Ark (tv movie)

-the one w/ Jon Voight

-absolutely terrible, so far off and crappy

Lion/Witch/Wardrobe (BBC) - ouch

Jesus Christ Superstar (what the?)

Good not necessarily christian flicks with some solid biblical and prophetic parallels:

Signs (great faith message, little too creepy though)

Braveheart (freedom, no brainer)

Unbreakable (what we could do in Christ?)

The Matrix (NOT RELOADED)

Lord of the Rings Trilogy (well, Tolkien was a devout catholic)

Seventh Sign?

X-men 2 (nightcrawler - okay, now I'm stretching it)

...

The Hulk (kidding!)

Blessings,
