Movies About Jesus: 15 Christian Films

Christian Movies that are centered around Christ are my favorite. Here is my list of the top 15 movies from the "Jesus" genre. You will find movies spanning 7 decades and also several movies offering different perspectives of who's eyes the movie is seen through. There are lots of great actors that have portrayed Jesus over the years, but I feel none did it as genuinely as Jim Caviezel in the Mel Gibson film "The Passion of the Christ". Notice other big names such as Christian Bale and Jeremy Sisto also playing the King of Kings. Countdown all 15 with us, there are plenty that cover the entire life and ministry of Jesus. 15.
