We have tons of Christmas and Halloween movies, but we don't have any Easter movies — not even the ones with cute bunnies. That doesn't mean we don't enjoy a good movie about Easter or our favorite mythical bunny who likes to leave eggs and chocolate treats for the kiddies.
Here are some we'd rent the DVD or stop channel surfing to watch:
-Hop (2011). So this is an Easter movie because the it's about the the Easter Bunny's son escaping Easter Island so he can become a rock star in Hollywood. A crazy adventure ensues. It's silly, but a decent family movie to put you a jovial mood. Stars James Marsden and the voice of Russell Brand. Rated PG.
-Jesus of Nazareth (1977). A depiction of the life of Christ. Originally a TV mini series. Stars Michael York, Olivia Hussey, Christopher Plummer, Anne Bancroft and Ernest Borgnine.
-The Passion of the Christ (2004). This is an intense film that chronicles the last 12 hours before Jesus' crucifixion. Stars James Caviezel. Rated R.
-Jesus Christ Superstar (1973). A film version of the popular rock opera, it depicts the final days of Jesus Christ through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Stars Ted Neely, Carl Anderson and Yvonne Elliman.
-The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965). Tells the story of the life of Jesus. Stars Max von Sydow, Charlton Heston and Dorothy McGuire.
We've outgrown the kiddie movies, but these will likely keep their attention:
-Here Comes Peter Cottontail (1971). Peter Cottontail wants to become the Easter Bunny, but Evil Irontail has other plans.
-It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown (1974). The Peanuts gang gets ready for Easter.
-Winnie the Pooh: Springtime With Roo (2004). Roo copes with Rabbit canceling Easter.
