Movies worth watching during Holy Week

[MagicalKingdom]

I practice a tradition of watching meaningful movies on DVD during holy week, notably on good Friday.

Among the films I watch on these days are:
The Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner
Ben-Hur
The Passion of Christ

Jesus of Nazareth

Jesus of Nazareth is great but it is several hours long.

Although not a serious as some of the others, I think that Jesus Christ Superstar is a great representation of Holy Week. It has long been a family favorite that we watch every year.

We fast forward to watch the last 2-3 hrs.

We also watch The Miracle Maker (Claymation story of Jesus that was on ABC a few years back). http://www.amazon.com/review/R1VK85EM8741DD

A bit unorthodox but a good friend of mine makes it a point to watch Monty Python's Life of Brian every Easter...

I've made a point of watching "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" with my son and pointed out how the story follows the story of Jesus. He picked up on most of it by himself.

By the way, love the post. I think this is a great topic.
