THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST (2004)

The Mel Gibson film takes all four gospels and recounts the final 12 hours of Jesus’ life. It begins with Jesus in Gethsemane, including the betrayal of Judas Iscariot and the ultimate crucifixion and death of Jesus. Christ was played by actor Jim Caviezel. Gibson, a traditional Catholic, was extremely passionate (no pun intended) about the project and it's clear to see The film shot mostly in Italy and entirely in Arhamaic, Latin, and Hebrew, was a box office hit at the time. It remains the highest-grossing Christian film ever made. Despite that, it won no Oscars.
