The first movie I remember watching as a child was Ben Hur. I watched it with my mother. It was the 1959 version of the film. While the movie is not specifically about Jesus, it tells the story of a Jew living in Judaea facing the rivalry of a childhood friend. Through his eyes we see Jesus. We meet Jesus in his humanity. Charlton Heston stars in t...

While the Nativity Story is a Family- Friendly movie, the Passion of Christis an Adult only movie. This Mel Gibson film tells the story of the crucifixion of Jesus in great detail.
