best Biblical film score?
Hello,
What is the best Biblical film score of all time? For me It's a got to be "King of Kings"(Rozsa) with "The Ten Commandments"(Bernstein) a close second.
Best Regards,
David Phoenix, AZ.

It might be unpopular, but i like Zimmers Prince of Egypt. All very grand egyptian themes plus restrained and eloquent in the more spiritual bits and no i don't like the Whitney Houston/Mariah Carey song!.

Peter Gabriel's excellent score to "The Last Temptation Of Christ" has got to be my favourite. And, although perhaps a bit commercial, I do like John Debney's score to "The Passion Of The Christ".

Well for me it happens to be...Sodom and Gomorrah by Miklos Rozsa...so stirring and the pastorale is beautiful....followed by The Bible.

The Robe is a fantastic score as is Ben Hur. But one of my favourite themes, if not the score, is the main title from Jesus of Nazareth by Maurice Jarre. I remember crying my eyes out as a kid during the crucifixion and the walk and I am not even a Chrisitian. The power of music...

BEN HUR or SODOM AND GOMORRAH by Rozsa
MOSES by Morricone

Can The Omen trilogy be considered Biblical films?

You all are so silly. Monty Python's Life of Brian is the clear winner!
Always look on the bright side of life indeed!
