Movies for Sunday, March 19, 2017

Today's movies include an Arabian Nights film, a movie about Jesus, and a movie about college basketball.




There are many movies about the Arabian Nights tales,
most derived from the English translation by English
explorer Sir Richard Burton, born March 19, 1821.  I am
selecting The Thief of Bagdad (1940) which won
Oscars for Cinematography, Interior Decoration and
Special Effects.

Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) is a retelling
of the Passion story.  The story went from
Broadway musical and record album to
the movies.

One (1977) is the story of a high school
phenom dealing with college basketball and
life.
