Bible stories make for varying cinema. Here are the best Bible movies about Jesus Christ himself...
The Biblical epic appears to be back in a big way. Not only has Mary Magdalene hit UK cinemas just in time for Easter, 2018’s offerings also include the recently released Paul, Apostle of Christ (which rather confusingly features ex-Jesus Jim Caviezel as his pal Luke) and the upcoming Pontius Pilate, starring Eric Roberts.
Religion can make for contentious filmmaking: too earnest and the movie feels sanctimonious and dull, too irreverent and you risk making “a holocaust movie that has the power to destroy souls eternally” as a nun once told Martin Scorsese, who directed 1988's The Last Temptation of Christ. Here are the top 25 movies about the man we can thank for the enormous amount of chocolate we eat at various intervals throughout the year:

Though best known as a pioneer in the straight-to-cable softcore sex industry with his long-running Showtime series Red Shoe Diaries, Zalman King began his long career as an actor and had several interesting cult film credits. Born Zalman King Lefkowitz, King began his career acting on TV in the .60s. In 1978, King starred in Blue Sunshine, a weird ‘Hippies Revenge’ shocker from director Jeff Lieberman about Stanford University students who drop bad acid resulting in 10-year delayed homicidal freakouts. In Trip With The Teacher (1974), King played the scuzzy leader of a group of bikers who terrorize a group of female students after their bus breaks down in the desert. Other notable acting credits included the Corman Alien knockoff Galaxy Of Terror (1981) and the bizarre Jesus conspiracy film The Passover Plot (1976).
