Just gonna copy/paste my response to another comment in this thread:
The Passion of Christ is basically gore and I hated it. The hyper focus on Jesus’s suffering instead of focusing on his message is a huge problem in Christianity in my opinion. It’s had this bizarre tendency to normalize abuse in the name of one of the most loving human beings ever to walk the planet.
I 100% understand an emphasis on the suffer of Christ as a personal meditation on the nature of suffering and how we relate to God in our suffering. But the kind of glorification of the torture of Jesus that is common in a lot of Christianity is really twisted.
And I’m a film buff. I love art house shit and I hated that movie
Passion of the Christ was the first thing that came to mind. Surprised no one else mentioned it. Is it not considered good?

Well, let me ask you: is it good? Is it? Good?
“Hey guys, let’s put on a movie!”
“Sure! What should we watch?”
“I don’t know. Something good.”
“Say no more…”
I mean… I personally didn’t care for it, but then I usually have the exact opposite taste in films as the film buffs so…
I think Dude Where’s My Car is a good movie. I think Citizen Kane is boring as fuck. See what I mean here? lol
