25 Best Easter Movies to Watch With Your Family This Weekend

 
  
 
 
 

There’s nothing quite like being together with family for the holidays, and Easter Sunday is no exception. After attending Easter mass, enjoying a delicious Easter brunch, and finishing an epic Easter egg hunt, you and your family can sit back and unwind with a family-friendly Easter movie.

Since The Life and Passion of Jesus came out in 1902, there have been literally hundreds of movies about the Easter story of Jesus Christ. There have been big-budget epics like The Greatest Story Ever Told and more personal movies like The Gospel According to St. Matthew. Some movies have played fast and loose with the story, like Jesus Christ Superstar or the (very) experimental Jesus—Der Film

With these many options, it can be hard to pick a great Jesus movie to watch this Easter season. The following list gives 25 accessible Easter movies about Jesus’ life and a few animation for the kids. The list includes some Biblical epics, some kid-friendly movies, and some thought-provoking movies for adults.

  • Total no movies: 25

It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown

No holiday is complete without Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts gang! This Easter classic has been beloved ever since it premiered in 1974, and was even nominated for an Emmy Award.

 

The Ten Commandments 1956

This spectacular biblical epic from legendary showman Cecil B. DeMille tells the story of Moses from his infancy to the triumphant moment when he led the Israelites out of captivity in Egypt. The film begins as the pharaoh's daughter (Yvonne de Carlo) discovers the abandoned infant Moses and takes him to the shelter of her family.

 

The Greatest Story Ever Told

This powerful biblical epic tells the complete story of Jesus, from the Nativity through to the Ascension.

 

Jesus Christ Superstar

One way to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ is to watch "Jesus Christ Superstar" with your family and friends. This movie, which is based on the Broadway hit musical of the same name, shows what the last few weeks of Christ's life must have been like.

 

Joseph: King of Dreams

Another biblical animated musical, Joseph: King of Dreams tells the story of Jacob's favorite son, who had the special ability to interpret dreams. This film acts as a prequel to The Prince of Egypt, so you can watch both for a faith-filled double feature!
 

The Prince of Egypt

This animated version of Moses's tale was a huge hit, and is ideal for young children who love cartoons. Plus, it features the beautiful, Oscar-winning song "When You Believe" by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.

 

The Gospel of John (2003)

The first in a four-part series, The Gospel of John is a word-for-word visual adaptation of the Bible's Gospel of John

Barabbas (1961)

This epic film follows the story of the titular Barabbas, the criminal who was pardoned by Pontius Pilate over Jesus of Nazareth, which eventually led to Christ's crucifixion. 

 

Risen (2016)

Risen tells the story of one non-believing military tribune's quest to find out what happened to Christ after the Resurrection in Rome.

 

The Miracle Maker: The Story of Jesus

This stop-motion-animated movie tells the story of the life of Jesus Christ, as seen through the eyes of a terminally-ill child.

 

Son of God

The powerful story of Jesus's life, death, and resurrection is revisited in a new light, making this the perfect post-church film.

King of Kings

King of Kings is a straightforward but epic retelling of Jesus Christ's life. The movie stars Jeffrey Hunter as Jesus and Rip Torn as Judas—but also stay tuned for the many familiar figures who appear throughout the film's nearly three-hour-long run. After all, there's a lot of story to tell.

Peter Rabbit

This family-friendly flick centers around a mischievous rabbit named Peter (James Corden), who just can't seem to get out of trouble. When a warm-hearted animal lover, played by Rose Bryne, moves in next door, he rivals for her affection with Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) and the funny escapades begins.

 

Peter Rabbit 2

Loved "Peter Rabbit"? Well, you're going to love this sequel to the original film even more. This time around, Peter Rabbit ventures to the big city after he gets tired of his life at home, and as always, he ends up in trouble.

 

Hop

Hop into Easter with this hilarious CGI/live action comedy starring the Easter Bunny like you've never seen him before. Voiced by Russell Brand, "E.B." chases his dream of becoming a rock star drummer, with a little help from his furry friends.

The Miracle Maker - The Story of Jesus

This stop motion-animated film tells the story of the life of Jesus Christ, through the eyes of a young girl who he is said to have brought back to life. Fans have hailed this moving story starring Ralph Fiennes and Julie Christie as one of the best depictions of Jesus ever.

Zootopia

Zootopia may not have an Easter theme, but this hit action-comedy adventure about a clever bunny named Officer Judy Hopps will definitely help you "hop" into the holiday spirit.

Rise of the Guardians

In this irresistible superhero flick, the Easter Bunny joins forces with Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and more holiday icons to stop an evil force from plunging the world into darkness.

Ice Age: The Great Egg-Scapade

Can't get enough of the "Ice Age" films? Well, there's one that's great to watch on Easter, and it's "Ice Age: The Great Egg-Scapade." This fun adventure shows what happens when Sid starts his own egg-sitting service and encounters a few hiccups along the way.

Jesus of Nazareth

While this 6-hour miniseries is a bit long for one day, it works well as a series to watch over the Easter season. Episode 1 starts with Mary receiving a message from the angel Gabriel, and episode 4 ends with the resurrected Jesus appearing to his disciples. Each episode is about 90 minutes long, short enough for an evening’s viewing during Holy Week.
 

Mary Magdalene

When twelve wise men heard and spread the message of Jesus, one lady in particular understood it. Her name was Mary Magdalene.

 

 Ben-Hur (2016)

A classic religious film in its own right, Ben-Hur is especially relevant on Easter. In it, we see the life and crucifixion of Christ through his interactions with Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince who's been wrongfully imprisoned.

 

I Can Only Imagine (2018)

This inspiring, true story behind the eponymous song by Christian band MercyMe is perfect for grown-ups and kids alike. It'll bring you to tears and keep you inspired all Easter weekend.

This Darren Aronofsky film tells the story of—you guessed it!—Noah's Ark. Based on the biblical tale, this movie thrills with great visuals and a cast including Russell Crowe and Emma Watson.

The life of Jesus Christ, his journey through life as he faces the struggles all humans do, and his final temptation on the cross.
