Jesus/Biblical movies -- my list

[BarryC]

I love this type of movie, so I have collected as many as I could, over the years, though there are a handful that I don't have.

On the list I have marked either DVD or VHS or both, next to a title if I own that movie. N/A means it’s not officially available on video.

<O:p</O:pIf I put an asterisk* next to VHS, that means I taped it off TV. If I put an asterisk* next to DVD, that means it’s a non-commercial DVD.

Feel free to add movies that I may have missed.<O:p</O:p

It's amazing how things used to be in America. For example when you look up these movies on the IMDB you find out that many of them were the top-grossing films the year they came out.<O:p</O:p

I recently bought a used DVD of #29 on this list. I can't wait to watch it. I always liked Johnny Cash, so it should be interesting.

I don't have Jesus Christ Superstar or Godspell on the list for a few reasons- partly because I've not seen either one of them, and partly because I'm not sure if they count as true Jesus movies or Biblical movies. I don't know. They were never considered to be so by my parents back when they came out. Otherwise I probably would have seen them by now, although now I would be interested in seeing both of them.
