Movies about Jesus Christ

[lester1/2jr]

1. 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?

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR - I like this one, although the vocal performances overall aren't as good as the original album.
