Good Movies / Re: Movies about Jesus Christ
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 05:26:56 PMAgreed on JCS.
THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST is pretty good. Harvey Keitel is a great Judas and David Bowie is Pontius Pilate. What else need be said?
There's also a TERRIFIC play by Stephen Adly Guirgis called "The Last Days Of Judas Iscariot". One of my favorite plays, actually. It premiered on Broadway about 20 years ago directed by Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Sam Rockwell was Judas, John Ortiz was Jesus, Stephen McKinley Henderson was Pilate, and Eric Bogosian was Satan. Jeffrey Demunn and some other familiar faces were in it, too. Recommended reading!

Good Movies / Movies about Jesus Christ
Last post by lester1/2jr - Today at 03:05:16 PM1. The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) - I remember liking this 4 plus hour epic back in the day, not sure how it's aged though.
2. Pasolini's The Gospel According To St Matthew (1964) - I saw a shortened version that Tubi carries not the longer Criterion collection one. Matthew is the Gospel with all the sayings and this film has no additional dialogue really besides of quotes directly from the book. Definitely my favorite of these 3.
3. The Passion of the Christ (2004) - Has anyone ever made a movie featuring the scene where Jesus goes to preach in Galilee and they're all like "this guy? The Messiah? I know his Mom". I guess it's sort of besides the point. Anyway everyone knows the Mel Gibson helmed version.
Any others of note?

Last post by indianasmith - Today at 02:53:02 PMSUCKER PUNCH (2011) - One of my favorite films of all time, and it gets better with each successive viewing.
The closing monologue is just. . . perfect!

Last post by lester1/2jr - Today at 02:47:19 PM^ I will be sure to avoid all of those. or see them, who knows
The Cold (1984) - also called The Game also called ... garbage. 3 millionaires invite random people to have a "game" that doesn't appear to have any rules or point. They wander around what looks like the bottom floor of an abandoned Holiday Inn trying to somehow win. There is some brief nudity with decent looking women, tons of bad jokes and worse acting, and a general "we are cashing in on the VHS horror boom with nothing at all to say in that style of cinema" vibe.
The guy who did Monster a Go Go (which I remember as part of my least favorite Something Weird DVD two fer) and Giant Spider Invasion is at the helm, so you know it's gonna suck. And yet....and yet....and yet it does have that recent Viewings Bad movies thread feel down so perfectly that I did enjoy it. It's another one where it seems like they're all working on another movie and making this during the breaks in action. In one scene, two frisky contestants are having sex in the sauna. They think they are locked in and the guy clearly has tighty whities on. Why would the character do that and why did I have to see that?
4/5
It stinks, yet it does have a tiny, microscopic amount of charm and cleverness. I watched it based on this https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTvcaY-EQbZ/ post.
