Where to Stream the Best Movies for Passover and Easter in 2025

This time of year, the world pauses to reflect and remember two of the greatest stories ever told. Passover marks the remembrance of Jewish freedom from slavery, while Easter marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ. These pivotal events have shaped the lives of millions and inspired some remarkable films.

If you’d like to celebrate the holidays or learn more about these traditions, here’s where to stream the best films in 2025.

The Passion of the Christ

Mel Gibson’s 2004 crucifixion epic is incredibly graphic, but people around the world flocked to see it in theaters, making it the highest-grossing rated “R” film for several years. That’s even more remarkable because all the dialog is in Aramaic, Hebrew, and Latin. Right now, “The Passion of the Christ” is available free with a trial of UP Faith & Family.

Jesus Christ Superstar

This Andrew Lloyd Webber musical has been a favorite since its stage debut in 1971. In 1973, Norman Jewison directed the movie version. Allegedly, Pope Paul VI loved the film when he saw it. “King Herod’s Song” is especially great. You can watch for free with a trial of Prime Video.

Jesus Christ Superstar: Live in Concert

Prefer to see a more contemporary version of the classic musical? You can watch the version with John Legend as Jesus that aired on NBC in 2018. The cast also features Sara Bareilles as Mary Magdalene and Alice Cooper (!) as King Herod. Watch for free with a trial of Broadway HD.

King of Kings

This 1961 classic tells the story of Jesus from birth to crucifixion. It’s even narrated by Orson Welles. The Miklos Rozsa’s score was nominated for a Golden Globe. Unfortunately, “King of Kings” isn’t included in any streaming subscriptions, but you can rent it on Prime Video.

The Greatest Story Ever Told

This 4 hour and 20 minute epic about the life of Jesus was nominated for 5 Academy Awards. It features an absolutely stacked cast with Max von Sydow, José Ferrer, Charlton Heston, Martin Landau, Angela Lansbury, Sidney Poitier, Claude Rains, and Roddy McDowall. (Also Pat Boone for some reason.) It’s available to stream free on services like The Roku Channel, Tubi, and Pluto TV, but the movie is long enough without adding commercials to the experience. Watch commercial-free with a free 30-day trial of Prime Video.

The Last Temptation of Christ

This 1988 Martin Scorsese film was wildly controversial when it debuted. The movie dramatizes Jesus’s struggle with his human side, including visions of temptation that infuriated some clergy. The cast features Willem Dafoe as Jesus, Harvey Keitel, Barbara Hershey, Harry Dean Stanton, and David Bowie (!) as Pontius Pilate. Scorsese picked up a Best Director nomination at the Oscars for this film. Watch for free with a 30-day trial of Prime Video.

Prince of Egypt

This animated 1998 epic tells the story of Moses. Its voice cast is remarkable with Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Goldblum, Danny Glover, Patrick Stewart, Helen Mirren, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. It’s also notable for the Whitney Houston-Mariah Carey song “When You Believe,” which won Best Original Song at the Oscars. Enjoy this classic with Peacock.

Ben-Hur

When you think of old Hollywood epics, “Ben-Hur” has to be near the top of the list. This Charlton Heston classic featured the biggest budget and the biggest sets ever constructed to that point. Even today, the chariot race ranks among the best action sequences ever filmed. You can watch this incredible comeback story for free on Tubi, or you can rent it if you don’t want commercials.

The Ten Commandments

Charlton Heston was Hollywood’s go-to man for Biblical epics back in the day. Here, he plays Moses in one of the most famous movies ever made. Cecil B. DeMille directs this Old Testament classic that was nominated for 7 Academy Awards.

Unfortunately, this classic isn’t included with any subscriptions, so you can rent it for $3.99 or buy it for $4.99.

Exodus: Gods and Kings

Legendary director Ridley Scott takes his shot at the Exodus story. The all-star cast features Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton, John Turturro, Aaron Paul, Ben Mendelsohn, Sigourney Weaver, and Ben Kingsley.

A Rugrats Passover

Not technically a movie, but a cultural landmark nonetheless. In this animated story, Grandpa Boris and the babies get trapped in the attic.
