Favorite Christian Movies List - The Greatest Story Ever Told

Tweet

As I mentioned in the first one of this series, all these are favorites in no particular order. I first saw The Greatest Story Ever Told in theaters. It's a great story of Jesus from birth to resurrection. There aren't any surprises as most people know the story. The Greatest Story Ever Told had five Academy Award nominations and an all-star cast. Max von Sydow played Jesus Jose Ferrer was Herod Antipas Charlton Heston was John the Baptist Martin Landeau was Caiaphas Angela Lansbury was Claudia Pat Boone was an angel at the tomb David McCallum was Judas Iscariot Roddy McDowall was Matthew Dorothy McGuire was the Virgin Mary Claude Rains was King Herod Telly Savalas was Pontius Pilate John Wayne was the Centurion Sidney Poitier was Simon of Cyrene Plus many more names you might recognize. The movie came out in 1965 and had a $20 million dollar budget. Information verified from IMDB and case back cover. Picture mine.
