Has there been any Biblical/Christian films on TV this Christmas - New Year?

Lawrence of Arabia or would you be offended by it?

why should i be?

blatant colonialist/imperialist propaganda - racist to boot -  you see - I reed the gardiun   and nose.

Wouldn't know, I was in church

Not Christian but I watched Hunter Killer yesterday. A cracking film.

wrong place if you want the correct one I can direct you - churches are out - much trendier to convert - several pop 'stars'(?)  have

i'm still trying to work out how Lawrence is a Biblical/Christian film, Dan

Can't believe they didn't do Life Of Brian.

Hunter Killer has gone on my list, GoOnThen; Linda Cardellini

Dont be a very naughty boy mouse muldoon

does anyone follow the one sandal branch or..........?

There was a doc about bojo "greatest tory ever sold"

ben hur is on now

terrestial, donny?

extra

5.50 minions itv 2  does that count?

i was hoping Muhammad: The Last Prophet might be on. A gritty little cartoon. Instead we've got Disney's The Jungle Book. Tut

Ben Hur came on ITV4 at 3:00 and i damn missed it

They needed better stewards in those chariots races...

The klaxon should have been sounded after every race

IV'E NEVER SEEN BEN HUR, but i know it was on about a week ago because my older bro visited me and he was watching it .

do you like reading, Culvin? If so try and get Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ by Lew Wallace. He was a General in the American Civil War & wrote this book some 15 years after that war ended. It stayed top of the best sellers list for over 50 years until Gone with the Wind appeared. Not every best seller translates to the screen; but these two monsters of the literary world did. Gone with the Wind won 8 Oscars & Ben Hur 11. there was an earlier version of Ben Hur made in the 20s that was excellent as well. Two epics of the movie industry that will forever adorn the magic world of cinema

Willow is on Ch4 today if it's a fantasy you're after.

Has he left Racing UK/TV?

Nope Mouse, he's like Lenny Henry - multitalented.

He certainly pedals fantasy.

Eh , Bap , i'll tell you a  funny story about watching Gone with the wind at the cinema about 25 years ago. Got to go out , now.

If Ben Hur was remade now would a tranny be in the starring role/

That would be Ben Zir.

I am up for it!!!

Bent Zir more likely.

I think it was Film 4 had Exodous Gods and Kings on - I watched it .. not bad.

The OP don't like that won iirc.

you got that right, mouse. Mr Wooden was in his element as Moses there. If ever there was an actor who 'did it for the dosh' there is was

The guy what played god was worse.

i think he was hiding his light under a bushel

Consider the Lilies.

i like my Armani too much, mouse.

Talking of Mr Wooden, he 1st sprang to 'fame' in Spielbergs Empire of the Sun; nothing much has changed since as he was very pinochioish in that role as well

King Of Kings was a terrific biblical epic. Directed by Nicholas Ray and starring Jeffrey Hunter (Capt Christopher Pike in the Star Trek pilot) as Jesus. He died following a stroke in 1966 aged just 42.

GOOD in The Searchers also , Jeffrey Young

Ben Dover, imo

We got a lot of books when my wife's mother passed away , old books, Ben Hur is amongst them.

I am reading it ......very slowly though............the language they wrote in the 19th century is not always very readable in the 21st century.

I'D BUY THAT BOOK , of you , sixtwosix .
