Biblical Epics: The Greatest Stories Badly Told ( Sometimes )

As the Easter - Passover Season approaches, a Theatre Director and movie buff comes up 40 of Hollywood's ( and other's ) takes on the Bible. I've tried to limit the list to motion pictures, but several TV epics deserved to be included. Some are classics, some are kitsch, and some are just... out there. All of them are worth watching, even if only for the jaw dropping WTF factor.
