Theme: Easter; Week: Apr 3-9/15

If you’re wondering why Jesus of Nazereth isn’t in the list, it’s because that was actually a TV series. However, if you think it deserves a vote, go ahead. Free country and all.

And remember, this is a vote for best Easter movie, not necessarily best Jesus portrayal. But again, throw another vote out for the best Jesus ever portrayed if you’d like. And Happy Easter everyone.

1. The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965)(Max Von Sydow as Jesus)

2. Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)(Ted Neeley as Jesus)

3. The Jesus Film (1979)(Brian Deacon as Jesus)

4. The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)(Willem Dafoe as Jesus)

5. The Passion of the Christ (2004)(Jim Caviezel as Jesus)
