As few questionable casting choices aside, The Last Temptation was a religious movie with some actual depth that even I, as a non-believer, found intriguing. The Passion was a steaming pile of slow-motion crap. I guess I know how I'm voting.

The Passion Of The Christ - 1

Haven't watched Last Temptation yet, but I know that Passion was just ridiculous. I consider it a Comedy.

Pretty much. I mean the movie was like 75% James Caviezel falling in slow-motion.

I admired the balls of Passion and the fact that it was shot in original language (or as close as could be).

I am a Scorsese fan and found Temptation a very subtle and personal work but it is flawed and a little messy and didn't grab the essence of the book and David Bowie is terrible in it. However Willem Dafoe has always been an actor I have admired and his performance is seriously underrated.

I will go against the grain and judge the films as 'historical fact' (as it WAS supposed to have happened) so Passion wins by being that little more realistic. That too was flawed though.

The Last Temptation Of Christ - 3
The Passion Of The Christ - 2

What he said.

Gladiator isn't all that, but Braveheart is an abomination.
People said Mel Gibson wouldn't be able to play a Scottish man very convincingly.... Now look at him, an alcoholic racist.

Braveheart 2
Gladiator 2

I'm going with Braveheart here. At least it sticks with you, unlike Gladiator.
