Jesus (1999) is a made-for-television Biblical film that retells the story of Jesus of Nazareth.
It stars Jeremy Sisto as Jesus, Jacqueline Bisset as Mary of Nazareth, Debra Messing as Mary Magdalene and Gary Oldman as Pontius Pilate.
The film is notable for presenting as more human Jesus, compared to more solemn portrayals in earlier films; here Jesus laughs and cries much like anyone else. Among other things, he weeps at Joseph's funeral, throws stones in Lake Galilee when meeting Simon Peter and James son of Zebedee for the first time, dances at the wedding at Cana, and starts a water-splashing fight with his disciples at a well.
Also, Satan is portrayed as a man in modern dress (and as a woman in red, but the former guise is more prominent).
The film adds a Roman historian named "Livio" who watches as events unfold; he is presumably based on Livy.

Inchon is a 1982 film directed by Terence Young about the Battle of Inchon during the Korean War.
The movie was panned by reviewers as overpriced and poorly-acted. Filmed over five years, Inchon lost an estimated 44.1 million USD. One of the major financial backers of Inchon was the Unification Church. Sun Myung Moon, the church's founder, was a "Special Advisor" to the film. After hearing that the movie was backed by the Unification Church, the United States Department of Defense, which had supplied 1,500 troops as extras, withdrew support for the movie.
A portion of the movie was filmed on the U.S.S. Cleveland LPD-7. It was filmed during an amphibious operation off the coast of Korea in 1978. [1]The story of how Sun Myung Moon became involved in movie-making is almost certainly apocryphal: One day, Sun Myung Moon began crying and could not stop. To raise his spirits he took a trip to the movie theatre and the crying stopped. He saw this as a sign from God and resolved to make his...

Produced by the "Master of Disaster," Irwin Allen, When Time Ran Out... is loosely based on a novel detailing the factual 1902 volcanic eruption of Mount Pelée on Martinique, which killed 30,000 people in five minutes (by pyroclastic flow). When Time Ran Out... has the distinction of being both the last notable "disaster film" produced at the tail-end of the 1970s cycle of the genre, and Irwin Allen's last theatrically-released picture.
When Time Ran Out... deals with the eruption of a volcano on a remote Pacific island, threatening a newly-constructed, multi-million dollar resort, an oil drilling project, and a volcano observatory perched on the edge of the caldera. After a major eruption causes a lava flow to head directly towards the resort, a small group of people attempt to escape to safety on the opposite side of the island, while others remain behind.
Allen recycled many of the ideas and scenarios presented in his two huge hits, The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno...,

La Nuit américaine is a 1973 French film directed by François Truffaut. It stars Jacqueline Bisset and Jean-Pierre Léaud.

Le Magnifique (literally The Wonderful) is a French movie released in 1973, starring Jacqueline Bisset and Jean-Paul Belmondo.
Le Magnifique is a slapstick spoof of B-series espionage movies and novels.
The hero (Belmondo) is a writer of pulp espionage novels, and
about half of the film plays in his imagination, where he is the world-renowned spy Bob Saint Clar. Jacqueline Bisset is a sociology student who is interested in the novels, but in the writer's imagination, she is Tatiana, his paramour.
This is an unpretentious movie—the jokes are not subtle, but the overall effect is quite funny if taken the right way.
