Jesus Of Nazareth

The all-star cast includes Anne Bancroft, Laurence Olivier, Michael York, James Mason, Rod Steiger, and Robert Powell as Jesus. As the beautiful locations, superb performances, and reverent portrayals reveal, Franco Zeffirelli (OTELLO, HAMLET) directed this six-hour-plus television miniseries with palpable passion.

    Jesus of Nazareth

    Although not 100% biblically accurate, it's about the closest depiction of the life of Christ you can find on film. Worth the watch at least.
