The last temptation of Christ
That film was one of my favourite films about Christ. Even when I was an ardent biblist and creationist.
It's the only Jesus film where you don't know what is happening, or what is going to happen, plot-wise.
Being condemned by nearly every Christian denomination, by no means equates as most Christians. For even if one of each denomination condemned it, you could still say, "The film was condemned by virtually every Christian denomination".

Re: The last temptation of Christ
My point remains however. It is most certainly true that not all muslims are upset or demonstrating about the cartoons. A segment is and they are violent about it, just like the Xians regarding LTOC.
.
True. I suppose I was arguing more with the link you quoted.
I heard a Muslim on the news saying he hoped people didn't think this is the reaction of most Muslims.
This is not to say you are wrong for liking it, its simply aesthetic differences. I honestly like movies like BenHur and some images I have seen from Gibson's Passion seem interesting
Yes, I enjoyed Ben Hur but the false Arab was taking Hollywood a bit too far.
The Passion is violent, dunno if you'd like that. I'd recommend it because it's new ground. However, I think Gibson's desire to make it look like a Carravagio painting, meant that the plot payed the price. I was left wondering and waiting for a story that never came.
