Jesus of Nazareth (1977)
The Greatest Portrayal of Jesus Ever
This masterpiece is like watching the paintings of Leonardo come to life.Suceh reverence and such humanity...No one can watch this film and remain the same person..How AFI could not include it in one of the top 100 films ever made and 100 most inspirational films is beyond me..I could write pages but suffice to say, watch this film and enjoy six of the most inspirational hours of your life. Robert Powell is the definitive Jesus..Gentle but very assertive.. James Farrentino's Peter is a masterpiece, this 'every man' evokes empathy as he travels his journey to receiving The Keys To The Kingdom The actor who portrayed Mathew should have received billing with the rest of the stars..His transformation is inspiring. The music by itself is a collector's item..Very uplifting.. Then there are Sir.Lawerenc Oliver, James Mason and Peter Ustinov Three Giants who are majestic in minor roles. Olivia Hussey was born to play Mary The mother of Jesus. And of course ANYTIME you can hear James Earl Jones says ANTHING, it is a treat.. Thank You Franco for inspiring the ages..
God Is My Co-Pilot (1945)
God Is My Co Pilot Reminds Us Of Our TRUE Source of Power
This story of great Americans who fought to preserve out safety and way of life, illustrates that like George Washington and all of the Founding Fathers..We must continue to believe in and have faith in the God that inspired the creators of this nation.. Alan Hale who plays the priest always amazed me. He could do broad comedy and then give heart touching performances as he does in this film. Before Charlton Heston, there was Raymond Massey who made a career of portraying historical characters beautifully. Finally Dennis Morgan who plays flying ace Scott made many great movies and this is one of them. Why he has become almost totally forgotten remains a mystery to me.. A wonderful, inspirational film..I totally recommend it.. John Wayne Schlatter
