CAST: Ted Neeley, Carl Anderson, Yvonne Elliman

RATING: G

DESCRIPTION: If you’re looking for a film that depicts the reason for the season, Jesus Christ Superstar, is it. Norman Jewison’s film version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical was actually endorsed by the Vatican for it’s interpretation of the Gospels, specifically the final week of Jesus’ life. The film has what I’ll call an “1970s G” rating, meaning that it’s not exactly for ALL audiences, as Jesus’ crucifixion and 39 lashes comprise a lengthy portion of the film’s climax, but you can argue that it doesn’t show anything that isn’t already clearly laid out in the Bible. But if you have a little theater aficionado on your hands, the movie’s legendary soundtrack, wardrobe, and the Carl Anderson of it all, is a true religious experience.

CAST: Fred Astaire, Skip Hinnant

RATING: N/R

DESCRIPTION: Rankin and Bass were known for their stop-motion animated specials like Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty The Snowman but their lesser-known Easter special, 1977’s The Easter Bunny Is Comin’ To Town was their attempt at a festive, springtime special. The special features Fred Astaire as the narrator (he also sings two of the songs) and features a bunny named Sunny who tries to spread cheer in the local town by bringing them things like colored eggs and jelly beans, despite the villainous Gadzooks trying to stop him. The show originally aired on ABC, and now, a newly restored version is available to stream on Prime Video.

DESCRIPTION: When it comes to movie musicals, you really can’t beat the combination of Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, and Irving Berlin, and 1948’s Easter Parade has all three.

When he finds Hannah (Garland), she’s a diamond in the rough to be sure, but he sees her potential and can’t help falling for her, on and off the dance floor.
