A personal favourite, The Chosen is another Dallas Jenkins’ film production that you absolutely need to watch!
As you saw in the title, it’s still ongoing. One of the reasons is that the series intricately presents a fresh and close look at the life of Jesus Christ and his followers.
The series delves into the personal and emotional experiences of its characters, offering a fresh viewpoint on the well-known biblical narrative. It explains the Bible in such a way that it becomes super easy to understand and very relatable.
The Chosen is one of the best Christian film productions to watch this easter season.
4. The Last Supper (1976)
We’re finally at the classics. The Last Supper is a Cuban film that was directed by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea.
The Christian movie provides viewers with a captivating and imaginative depiction of the biblical Last Supper.
Set in 18th-century Cuba, the story revolves around a count who owns slaves and chooses to recreate the Last Supper with twelve of them. Through its exploration of power dynamics, faith, and the inherent dignity of humanity, the film offers an unconventional yet riveting viewpoint on the iconic biblical event, inviting viewers to ponder its deeper meanings.

If you’re one of those individuals that often get enamored with thoughts of the Roman Empire, this movie alludes to it.
The 1953 film, The Robe, depicts the journey of a Roman tribune, Richard Burton, who wins Jesus’s robe in a dice game. As he learns more about Jesus’s teachings, he undergoes a transformation, grappling with his own beliefs and loyalties.
The film, directed by Henry Koster, offers a compelling exploration of faith and redemption set against the backdrop of ancient Rome.
