The Deepest Theological Movies - Ever!

Are you having problems understanding the Bible? Need help getting your head around multifaceted theology and complex concepts?

Well, your problem is that you’re trying to think for yourself. BIG MISTAKE.
All you ever need to know about faith, religion and God can be easily explained by a little visit to our friends in the B Movie industry.

Our first stop is the movie Ultrachrist. Here we learn the answer to the burning question: What would Jesus do if he returned to Earth and discovered he could no longer relate to the youth of today? Apparently, he would become a super-hero.

Synopsis: Jesus returns to Earth in present-day NYC, sent by his Father to usher in 2000 years of Godly peace. Unfortunately, modern young people respond poorly to this bearded weirdo. Taking the advice of a market research guru, Jesus has a Spandex costume made and declares himself "Ultrachrist", an urban sin-fighter. Unfortunately, his Father doesn't approve of these unorthodox techniques, while the Antichrist (the NYC Parks Commissioner) resurrects an army of famous sinners to make sure Ultrachrist's mission fails.

Our other stop in this journey is a quaint little period piece called Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. Here we learn that, uh, well just read the synopsis from the back of the DVD case.

Synopsis: The first testament says "an eye for an eye." The second testament says "love thy neighbor." The third testament KICKS ASS! The filmmaking team that brought you Harry Knuckles and won the "Spirit of Slamdance" prize with Harry Knuckles and the Treasure of the Aztec Mummy ups the ante with this tale of the ultimate action hero: Jesus Christ. The second coming is upon us, and Jesus has returned to earth. But before he can get down to the serious business of judging the living and the dead, he has to contend with an army of vampires that can walk in the daylight. Combining kung-fu action with biblical prophecy and a liberal dose of humor, the film teams the Savior with Mexican wrestling hero El Santos against mythological horrors and science gone mad, and also manages to address contemporary sexual politics. And did we mention that it's a musical? This sure ain't Sunday School.

So, there you go boys and girls – the next time you’re having a hard time preparing for a bible study, preparing a message, or studying your Bible; pop one of these theological gems into your DVD player and enjoy the ride.
