Jesus (1979)
A docudrama on the life of Jesus Christ, the "JESUS" film has been translated into more than 1,100 languages since its 1979 release. It remains the most translated and viewed film in history. Pastor Rick Warren, author of "The Purpose Driven Life," says "The 'JESUS' film is the most effective evangelistic tool ever invented."
More than 450 religious leaders and scholars evaluated the script to ensure historical and biblical accuracy. The script is closely based on Luke's Gospel, so almost every word Jesus speaks is from the Bible. Intense efforts to portray the Palestinian culture of nearly 2,000 years ago include: hand-woven clothing in only the 35 colors used then, pottery made with first-century methods, and removal of modern telephone poles and power lines from the landscape.
"JESUS" was filmed entirely at 202 locations in Israel in 1979, with a cast numbering more than 5,000 Israelis and Arabs. Whenever possible, scenes were filmed on the sites where they took place 2,000 years ago.

Pilgrim's Progress Part 2: Christiana (1979)
This exciting sequel to the classic Christian film Pilgrim’s Progress, based on the book by John Bunyan, begins as Christiana, her three children, and their neighbor journey to the Celestial City. An adventure-packed pilgrimage becomes a living parable.
Christiana, who had earlier scoffed at her husband, truly repents of her sins and is rewarded with glowing faith and confidence. Mercy, the accompanying neighbor, is plagued with doubts. Christiana’s daughter, Credence, and sons Avail and Avow, grow in the Christian experience as they follow their mother’s example. This film includes memorable sequences in which a concerned mother guards and guides her children.
At Doubting Castle, intrigued to enter its walls by a demon masquerading as a royal page, Mercy at last takes firm grip upon the promises of the Bible.
Then, at Pilgrim’s Rest, the entire group discovers the meaning of the verse, “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.”
