It seems only appropriate to hit the video store today and rent a couple of movies depicting the life of Jesus, but I know - you're stumped! There's alot of movies out there about J.C., "where do I begin?" you may well ask. Christ, I dunno. I'm a lapsed Jew-nitarian. My faves have more to do with who looks the hottest portraying The Man. Ted Neely screeching through 'Superstar, Robert Powell's bedroom-eyed Saviour in Jesus of Nazareth, Sin-Ewey Willem Dafoe In Last Temptation, Jeff Hunter (oops)...
Here's a couple of ramblings and resources to help you sort it all out: Celluloid Jesus The Christ Film Webpages, Celluloid Savior, Jesus On Film, and What Would Jesus Watch? Finally, here's a few of my fave actors who've donned the thorny crown (or clowny makeup in the case of Godspell):
What about Jeg så Jesus dø, a 1975 Danish adult version of the greatest story ever told. I haven't seen it, but I bet its artsy.
