Mostly because

- Its in the original language and culture at the time. Yknow, no English speaking Jesus here. So i appreciate that.
- Satan is what i imagine it to be biblically. Often Satan is depicted in popular culture, as an evil scary guy with horns. But, Satan in the Bible is more… trickier, and more deceitful. Which is what this movie went with. Everytime he was on the screen, it represented corruption and mockery of creation. To me, thats what Biblical Satan represents, interms of the rebellion against God.
- Very well acted. Emotionally this is hard to watch, but its a great made film

I don’t know which is the best, but I have watched _A Man for All Seasons_ three or four times. St. Thomas More enjoyed worldly success but would not compromise and approve King Henry VIII’s marriage to a new woman when he was already married. In the end, Thomas More was executed for treason. The film shows how a holy man remained stubbornly ethical.

I don’t remember what it was called, but it was about a girl with some brain condition to where, over time, her motor skills would slowly go away. It was a beautiful movie. I cried of course LOL!

_Tuesdays with Morrie_ (based on the book) was a TV movie with a similar story. Morrie had ALS (which killed my cousin Tom). Yet Morrie was not self-pitying and was always kind, encouraging and forgiving. A true story.

Awwwwwwwww, one thing I do remember, when I was watching whatever I was watching, it was so heartbreaking. And this girl never complained about anything, never complained about having ALS, nothing, and she was an absolutely sweet girl. It just really tugged at my heartstrings. I hope one day you will reunite with Tom and be eternally happy with all of your loved ones Literalman.

I like most of the movies about Jesus, especially the ones that follow scripture verse by verse. There is a terrific movie about Paul which I thoroughly enjoyed but I forget what it was called

Was Jim Caviezel also it it? I have a copy of that movie on DVD, but I haven’t watched it yet. Maybe I’ll watch it this upcoming Lenten Season.

The movie about Paul that I like is on YouTube. Here is a link

The story of her discerning a vocation, pride and ultimate spiritual growth resonates with me.

No movie is the best forever, because eventually you want to see a different one, but I have two choices here for two reasons.

1. For nice actor choice and being accurate I liked the Gospel of John [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZLDEWg9JkU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZLDEWg9JkU)
2. For the amateur but ardent effort there is a version of Revelations which tries to be accurate verse by verse. No AI, for those of us who really miss pre-AI. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80lPrdCSNXY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80lPrdCSNXY)
