The 25 Best Movies Based on Religious Texts According to 24/7 Tempo

"Nobody can deny that the Bible is full of great tales. It's no wonder that so many moviemakers have been drawn to the Bible as a source of inspiration over the years. Sometimes following the texts closely, sometimes offering alternative interpretations of events, many directors have either tackled individual Bible stories or staged broad, sweeping panoramas of Biblical times. Major stars over the decades have portrayed key figures in the Bible — sometimes even appearing as Jesus Christ himself. It should be noted that one of the films listed here — "Hercules" — is not taken from a specific religious text, but rather is drawn from Roman mythology, expressed in numerous works over the centuries. To determine the best movies based on religious texts, 24/7 Tempo developed an index using average ratings on IMDb, and a combination of audience scores and Tomatometer scores on Rotten Tomatoes, weighting all ratings equally. Documentaries were not considered." - 247tempo.com
