Inherit the Wind Spencer Tracy Spencer Tracy plays Clarence Darrow; Frederic March plays William Jennings Bryan in movie about the teaching of evolution in Tennessee in 1925

Last Temptation of Christ The film depicts the life of Jesus Christ, and its central thesis is that Jesus, while free from sin, was still subject to every form of temptation that humans face, including fear, doubt, depression, reluctance and lust. The book and film depicted Christ being tempted by imagining himself engaged in sexual activities, a notion that caused outrage from some Christians. Willem Dafoe Video about protests

Controversy over Dogma The filmmakers received over 300,000 pieces of hate mail, which Kevin Smith posted on his website. The Catholic League in particular attacked Disney and Miramax, the original distributors, for being anti-Catholic. The film was originally scheduled to come out in November of 1998, but was pushed back to November of 1999 in the hopes the controversy would die down. When that didn't work, Disney sold the film's distribution rights to Lions Gate Films. News video on protest in New Jersey Kevin Smith talks about the protest

Katha Pollitt on The Passion of the Christ "Gibson has violated just about every precept of the (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) conference's own 1988 "Criteria" for the portrayal of Jews in dramatizations of the Passion (no bloodthirsty Jews, no rabble, no use of Scripture that reinforces negative stereotypes of Jews, etc.)".

The King of Kings vs. The Passion of the Christ Compare portrayal of the Priest Caiaphas in movie directed by Cecil B. DeMille with that in Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ Caiaphas was portrayed in The King of Kings as an appointee of the Roman Empire and not a representative of the Jewish people Caiaphas was portrayed in The Passion of the Christ as a Jewish leader capable of bringing about a successful rebellion against the Romans
