Is there any interesting movie or video introducing the bible stories?
The Easter is coming but I don't quite understand what this festival is really about.I try to learn something about the Catholicism and Christianism. Can someone recommend any movie or video that tell the bible stories?

Interesting? Not that I can recall. But there are a lot of really BORING movies that introduce Bible stories. The only ones that are actually fun are ones that take extreme liberties with the source material (e.g. Prince of Egypt) or parodies (e.g. Life of Brian).
You could potentially get Veggie Tales videos. They're targetted for children (and they're pretty corny), but they put individual Bible stories forward with a bit of song and dance added (as much as animated vegetables can dance, anyway).
If you want to learn Bible stories, I'd recommend just picking up a Bible.
Actually, I wouldn't, because it's a horribly-paced book with a bunch of really terrible stuff in it. That being said, it's very good to practice with depending on your English-speaking level. Reading the King James Version will give you insight into the origins of a LOT of the English lexicon and idioms.
As for what Easter's about... I can try to explain that somewhat quickly, without you having to read anything (other than my long comment, of course).

It's about candy. That's all you need to know.

You could watch Life of Brian. But that has little to do with the real thing.

The History Channel is currently showing a 10-hour miniseries about the life of Jesus. It is called "The Bible". Jesus is the most important person in the history of the world.

Hi, Elaine! I always love to watch "Jesus of Nazareth" every year around Easter. There are a lot of movies available. I liked "Moses", the 1995 film and "The Ten Commandments" from 1956. Let me know and I can always make other suggestions.
