Speaking of which, if you haven't ever seen The Agony and the Ecstasy, it's glorious! Treat yourself to some Hollywood magic.

Saw it first when I was about 8. Remember being very confused why Rex Harrison’s Pope was wearing armour!

This is exactly the sort of movie I would have never watched on my own, but saw it on 35mm at a festival and have never forgotten it.

Johne, John or hey you fat dude @jels31.bsky.social

You two just moved this to the Too Watch list. Up to this point I had just blown it off as another lackluster Chuck Heston epic.

Take it for the ham-fest it is, but man, is it delicious ham!

Oooh, I haven't seen it in many years. I was just in Firenze and Rome, too, so it's good timing to revisit the film. Thanks!

🤭🤭🤭 The casting way back always makes me giggle, I wouldn’t have any of the classics any other way but still…

Just finished. Lordy, just such an excellent film. Proper, old Hollywood epic. 500 men in 16th century armour in the Italian foothills one moment, a deep and thoughtful scene of Michelangelo in the middle of creative despair the next.

I unironically love it. (Which is a warning in its own right! 😅)
