Spartacus (1960) - I watched this movie for the first time in years, the first time on a non CRT tv and in HD, and I am still under the impression, days later.
But there is this theme going on through the movie as if people in the times "before Jesus" suffered that there is no God like Jesus. Like the scene in which Kirk Douglas says something like "If only there was a God for slaves" -- but what about a God who will abolish slavery altogether, Kirk?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
