"Oh, Moses, Moses." What is your favorite Easter-Passover film?

Does DeMille trump the serious film treatments? If so, which one is best?

I myself hold value in Anne Bancroft in "The Ten Commandments." Nothing comes close to the majesty of her performance in that movie...

It was Anne Baxter. And she was faboo! I know almost every breathy line by heart.

All these movies are confusing me. I keep thinking about Spartacus and then there's Ben Hur?

Because that is closest to the true original meaning of Easter.
