A musical retelling of Christ’s Passion from the viewpoint of Judas that has more anachronisms than the 1973 version–and more energy.
Jesus Christ: SUPER STAR (1973)
This rock opera, with much of the cast dressed like hippies, recounts the last week in the lives of Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot.
On the Waterfront (1954)
A girl & a priest pull dock worker Terry Malloy to testify against the mob, while his brother & the mob boss pull Terry in the opposite direction.

Parable (1964)
I’m reaching back to 1964 to recommend this ground-breaking film from the 1964 Worlds Fair. Click the image to read my entire review.
Risen (2016)
RISEN is the story of a Roman tribune charged by Gov. Pilate to investigate the disappearance of the body of Christ. The hardened soldier is transformed by his discovery.
The Gospel of John (2014)
The Gospel of John is enacted by actors speaking Aramaic under the narrator who reads the King James text or the NIV text or Spanish in a 3rd version.
The Passion of the Christ (2004)
The arrest, trial, flogging and crucifixion is shown in painfully bloody detail. Brief flashbacks to Christ’s earlier life set the context.
