It is. I really recommend Prince of Egypt, is a great alternative if you want a shorter movie and you may want it to be a tradition. I will spotlight this in time. Yes, they made The King of Kings in 1927, there was some incredible movies then. Since they came out with teh remake in animated form, a lot of people are going to check that out instead of the originals :roll:

Here we go with 1961's, The King of Kings :!:

Since I was at St. John the Baptist school, My Grandma wanted Me to see this when I was a youngster. I think 1st or second grade. I'm sure she rented from Verna's Mr. T's Video rentals. This is THE movie that showed Me about Jesus Christ :!:

Jeffery Hunter is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

My Grandma MiMi always said that Hunter was perfect one to play Jesus. She just loved his eyes :wwsmile:

Siobhan McKenna os his Mother, Mary.

Carmen Sevilla is Mary Magdalene.

Royal Dano is Peter.

Rip Torn is Judas :!:

A young & great looking Viveca Lindfors is Claudia. I've expressed about her and how My Grandpa liked her

Frank Thring is Herod Antipas.

Rita Gam is Herodias.

Brigid Bazlen is Salome.

Robert Ryan is John the Baptis,

Many others are here including Hurd Hatfield as Pontius Pilate.

Orson Welles is the Narrator :!:

Jesus was sentenced...

and was crucified and died for the sins of humanity, little do they truly know whom he was :batsmh:

Here's the Trailer :!:

Here's the wonderful overture by Miklós Rózsa. He did some wonders of like this. He was also a big conversation around with My Grandparents. My Mom loves this too. Listen

Next will be The Passion of the Christ

I'll admit I've never really watched too many biblical films, but I appreciate the grandness of them.

That Weapons Trailer is intense.

by **BrandonDaCollector** » Tue Apr 22, 2025 8:30 am

Gosh, what a teaser there about Weapons :shock:

I have seen a bit of them and yes, there there is great grandeur about them.

Now, here's the Passion of the Christ from 2004 :!:

If you ever seen this before. It tells teh last hours of Jesus's life. It show you the suffering that he went thru and and how horrible humans can be. It's not for the faint of heart. Me, My Grandma MiMi & My Auntie Wanda saw this in 2005 at the show in Ronnies Plaza in South County. It was the re-release but it was the special Director's Cut or Recut. It was an incredible experience. We had already seen the original version when We bought the VHS just a while before this. I just showcased My little Passion of the Christ Collection couple days ago for Easter. You can check it out here ---> http://dctoyrevolution.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&p=55887#p55887

The movie is directed by Mel Gibson. He wanted to make the film as realistic as possible.

Jim Caviezel plays arguably the best Jesus performance, at least tied with Jeffery Hunter.

Maia Morgenstern is Mary, the mother of God and Monica Bellucci is Mary Magdalene.

Luca Lionello is Judas.

Hristo Shopov is Pontius Pilate

Mattia Sbragia is Caiphas & Luca De Dominicis is Herod.

There's some scary stuff here Y there. Gibson chose a woman to play Satan and she is Rosalinda Celentano. He chose this way because Satan is all about deceiving and if Lucifer is truly Satan, they would use their androgyny (look how the world is so androgynous today).

Here's the Teaser :!:

Here's these two Trailers :!:

The music is phenomenal by John Debeny (Sudden Death, CutThroat island, The Relic, End of Days, The Scorpion King). Mel Gibson was originally going to chose James Horner but ultimately went with Debney and honestly, I'm glad he did :shock:

Here's this promo trailer music that he wrote :shock:

Look for a continuation of John Debney in My Composer Topic very soon. I'm going to post a special interview with him & Mel Gibson plus more that your gonna wanna check out

I saw that Weapons trailer on YT and it looked pretty freaky. Not much to really make out of it but the kids running like that sure was creepy. Interested to see a longer trailer.

by **BrandonDaCollector** » Wed Apr 23, 2025 7:44 am

It looks good but for now it's a mystery. Andor looks pretty good and appears to tie-in nicely to Rogue One. The Passion of the Christ isn't for anybody but it's one heck of a movie to remind you what he through for humanity.

Here's another great one. I consider 61's The King of Kings to be a sequel/spin-off/companion of 1959's Ben-Hur :!:

Like The Ten Commandants, this is another epic starring Charelton Heston.

This is the story of two brothers who are at odds.

Sam Jaffe, Haya Harareet & Stephen Boyd is here.

Such remarkable scenes in this one.

Jesus has the impact in the movie.

There is a lot of great visuals in the movie.

When she was a little girl, she watched many of these types of movies. One thing amazes Me is that in both, Ben-Hur & King of Kings, when they show Bethlehem, the Star is moving like a UFO like the UFOS that I have seen personally, and countless ones seen on news broadcasts among YT videos. This always Makes Me think. The deleted scenes in Prometheus explored that. Here's the Trailer

Like King of Kings, the music is by the legendary Miklós Rózsa. This is one of the most classic of the epics. My Grandpa PoPo used to play it all the time on his custom stereo, he just loved it. I didn't appreciate it then until later. My Mom loves it too and thinks it's far superior to Rózsa's King of Kings and I agree with that

Next I will post the 2016 remake and the 2016 sequel by the Asylum

by **packerbacker180** » Wed Apr 23, 2025 8:54 pm

I have seen parts of Ben Hur but never watched it from start to finish.

This just premiered today, will definitely have to watch it.

by **BrandonDaCollector** » Thu Apr 24, 2025 9:31 am

It's such a tremendous movie. Next Easter, see about it and then The King of Kings. They go so good together. That Pee-wee special looks really cool, I'm glad they're doing that

OK, here's the 2016 remake of Ben-Hur that I saw at the show. Things are changed a bit like Pilate already knows Jesus and dislikes him. This contradicts previous movies especially The Passion of the Christ and the Bible itself.

It is way shorter and seems rushed as well, things just happen too quickly.

Back in early 2016 when I saw Pride, Prejudice & Zombies (I plan on doing a spotlight in My Horror Topic in time) at the show, I was like what...this guy is going to play Ben-Hur later on in the year :shock:

That guy is Jack Huston, the nephew of Angelica Huston is Judah Ben-Hur :!:

Toby Kebbell is his adopted brother that he has a major fued with.

Nazanin Boniadi is his nice looking love interest.

Morgan Freeman is the man who befriends Ben-Hur.

James Cosmo is one of the commanders of the Gallies.

Rodrigo Santoro plays the lord savior Jesus Christ. I find this rather strange because...

he played "The God King" Xerxes in the 300 movies prior to this :shock:

The visuals in this movie is very stunning.

This too has the Crucifixion.

Here's these cool Trailers :!:

The music was by horror master Marco Beltrami (Jerry Goldsmith's student). It is nothing as fantastical as Miklós Rózsa's score but it's still pretty good.

Next up will be the 2016 sequel/continuation story by The Global Asylum :shock:

by **packerbacker180** » Thu Apr 24, 2025 9:56 pm

I kind of recall that remake coming out but it wasn't really something that I would've watched. And Morgan has gone **** crazy in his old age which is sad to see.

by **BrandonDaCollector** » Fri Apr 25, 2025 8:20 am

Well, that's good because the movie became a box-office bomb :shock:

The blame is believed to be because of poor marketing :roll:

Freeman was pretty good in the movie, really nothing weird about him in this. Ah, The Omega Man. I think that was the first movie I saw Charelton Heston in. It was controversial for a while because of the interracial relationship but is nothing like that in recent times. The climax of the film is shocking to say the least :shock:

Here's the other Ben-Hur movie that was in 2016 by The Global Asylum. It's like a sequel to both but then really is a continuation of the story in general...it's called In the Name of Be-Hur :!:
