Franco Zeffirelli directed this incredible account of Jesus of Nazareth, an NBC Easter special, on 3 April 1977.

Many people gathered around their TV's for this mini series that drew unprecedented numbers of viewers.  

This is my personal favorite.

TV Guide called Jesus of Nazareth "the best mini-series of all time" and "unparalleled television" Here is the miniseries in it's entirety as one uninterrupted movie.
