I'm sure that a lot of us at one time or another have seen at least one religious film or series or Bible-related shows.
In the 40's, 50's, and 60's (I think), religious films had such an impact with blockbuster hits like The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, The Bible In The Beginning, etc. They were good for their time, but not biblically accurate.
In the 80's or 90's, kids Bible related shows had an impact as well. As a girl who was born in the 90's, I've watched shows like VeggieTales, Story Keepers (about the early Christians in Rome that met in catacombs during the time of Nero). I've also watched Animated Stories From The Bible from Nest, which are okay, even though not perfect. It may not necessarily be the best introduction to the Bible due to its disoriented content.
Then years later, been watching Superbook, which gets the Bible about 90% right. It has one of the two kids facing some kind of dilemma during the present day, and Super Book shows up to take them back in Bible times. It even gets historically accurate. For instance, in the episodes about Daniel, they really added some much detail about the Ishtar Gate and really put effort to it.
I'm sure that there are those of you out there that like religious films or series (I know it may sound like a broad catergory, though). But they sure had made some impacts over the years.
