I know a lot of people like me look forward to this every year around this time. It comes on tonight on ABC. This year they moved it back to the Saturday before Easter. Hope everyone enjoys
Billy Crystal does a better Eddie G than he does.Seeing Edward G. Robinson as Dathan still cracks me up. Can't get the gangster out of my head.

It's a funny bit.

Never saw the correlation between Moses and Easter. Two totally separate events. Maybe I shouldn't have listened to the nuns in grammar school but they were mean so we had to listen, if not, out came the wooden ruler 🤣
they are great movies and ratings are good, wish they would run them all weekThere used to be a lot of Yeshua/Jesus movies all week before Easter.
"King of Kings...Jesus of Nazareth...The Robe...Ben Hur..Greatest Story Ever Told" and others.
Networks ditched those for "Ten Commandments."
It works - Jesus Saves and Moses Invests
I have a bunch of them off torrents.they are great movies and ratings are good, wish they would run them all week
This movie was made in 1956. At this time I think the special effects in it were way beyond its time.
Hopefully I make it to the end of it tonight and don’t fall asleep
It's really scary that the Right Stuff, based almost exclusively on events during my life time and made when I was in my thirties, is to you an example of an "older historical movie."There are some great older historical movies that when they’re on, you just watch. Ten Commandments, Judgement at Nuremberg, The Right Stuff are some of my favorites.

That's a stretch for sure.Passover.
The Passover lambs sacrificed to save Moses and the Jews are a real life foreshadowing of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who died to save all who would believe and trust in Him.
Old Testament:
Exodus 12:13
“On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. The blood [of the sacrificed Passover lambs] will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.”
New Testament:
1 Cor. 5:7
“For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.”
that's revisionist bsPassover.

Don't forget The Life of Brian.There are some great older historical movies that when they’re on, you just watch. Ten Commandments, Judgement at Nuremberg, The Right Stuff are some of my favorites.
Well, to be fair, you could remove revisionist and cover both.that's revisionist bs

I agree with you but .. . Please let us not argue theology here.That's a stretch for sure.
I'm not arguing at all. I made a simple statement that there is no correlation between the 10 commandments and Easter.What I just replied to @WhiteBus goes for everyone: please let us not argue theology here.
I know you think that's a simple statement. I agree with it. But some people see linkages between the two events. Arguing about whether or not they are invites even worse quarrels than disputes about politics. Some pubs/bars/ taverns have signs: "no politics or religion!" We need to follow the same rule on sports forums. Everything else should be on the CE board.I'm not arguing at all. I made a simple statement that there is no correlation between the 10 commandments and Easter.
Don't forget The Life of Brian.
I loved The Ten Commandments when I was a kid. The whole family watched. While I get the nostalgia, the movie seems silly to me now (though I can still enjoy watching Charlton Heston his thing).
Who says he wasn't??Cecil B was born in 1881 and originally a silent film director. Silent films could be mannered and campy and we see that in 10C. I hate they way they make Heston looked like he was tripping after coming down the mountain lol.
And that may be the basis for the scene in the Mel Brooks film History of the World in which "Moses" comes down from Mount Sinai with three tablets with fifteen commandments -- but drops one! Happy Easter, everyone!Who says he wasn't??
