New Takes on the Old Book

Looking for movies that deal with Christianity in new or surprising ways?
Here's a list:

1. Dogma
Two fallen angels find a loophole in the church dogma that may allow them back into heaven. Irreverant and sometimes disgusting, always funny. Alanis Morrisette plays God and Chris Rock is the 13th Apostle!

2. The Last Temptation of Christ
A new take on the man who represents the struggle between the spirit and the flesh. Stars Willem Dafoe (Jesus), Barbara Hershey (Mary Magdalene), Harvey Keitel (Judas) and David Bowie (Pontius Pilate)

3. The Decalogue
Originally made for Polish TV, each episode revolves around one of the Ten Commandments and the lives of people in a Warsaw apartment complex.

4. The Life of Brian
The Monty Python movie that is often considered blasphemous and sacrilegious, this is the tale of Brian, a nobody in Jerusalem who seems a lot like Jesus.

5. Saved!
Mary is a good girl at a Christian school. When her boyfriend tells her he thinks he's gay, she decides to save him by having sex with him. You can't get pregnant your first time, right? What follows is a funny, punchy, smart story of Mary and the misfits that surround her.
