"Jesus of Nazareth."
Take a breath, read Ecclesiastes 1:9.
Every Lent I make an effort to watch the Ten Commandments and Ben-Hur.

Since folks' here have a narrow view of "Christian film", I've been thinking of something to suggest.The relatively recent Of Gods and Men is strongly recommended.

Believe it or not.I happen to like The Robe and the Alfred Newman score. Then again I thought TLTOC was a beautiful and rewarding parable.
...you can imagine so-called healing services of the pigpen. The books that could be written, you know: Life in the Pigpen. How to Cope in the Pigpen. Being Happy in the Pigpen. Surviving in the Pigpen. And then there could be counselling, for people who feel unhappy in the pigpen, to try to get them to come to terms with the pigpen, and to accept the pigpen.
It's slow but fascinating. That movie is beautiful. Screw yall

The Robe, or TLTOC?
When a time revolts against eternity, the only thing to set against it is genuine eternity itself, and not some other time which has already roused, and not without reason, a violent reaction against itself.
An interesting movie is "The Straight Story". I like watching it this time of year since it is a good tale of forgiveness as well as dealing with our own weaknesses as we enter the last days of our lives.

Andrei Rublev and Solaris directed by Andrei Tarkovsky.I heard a podcast on AFR once suggesting watching all 6 of Tarkovsky's movies during Lent (which is something I'd like to try, but not likely to find 'em at any of the movie stores where I live, and I'm not into netflix).
When are they going to make "Way of a Pilgrim" into a movie?
