MY TOP 5 PICKS
Jesus Christ
Superstar
Maybe you prefer your Easter story with more musical numbers. The 1973 adaptation of the Broadway hit was directed by Norman Jewison and features a hunky Ted Neeley as Christ. Those tunes will be stuck in your head long after the Easter candy finally disappears.
The Last Temptation of Christ
If you really want to contemplate the existential nature of Jesus Christ and his sacrifices, check out Martin Scorsese's wild 1988 film starring Willem Dafoe as God's son, a simple man who makes the difficult decision to accept his calling in life. The film is a colorful, hallucinatory, uncensored depiction of that period as Scorsese imagines it.
Ben-Hur
Ben-Hur tells the story of Judah Ben-Hur, a member of Jerusalem's Jewish nobility living at the time of Judea's Roman occupation. Set in the same time period, the film offers historical context for the life and crucifixion of Jesus.
Easter Parade
A classic MGM musical from the Golden Age of Hollywood starring Judy Garland and Fred Astaire, Easter Parade is the perfect nostalgic escapism for Easter Sunday. The film takes place around the holiday, when a Broadway star and a chorus girl fall in love, and culminates with a proposal that happens during the Easter Parade, naturally.
