Fav song in the movie?

"Heaven On Their Minds" as sung by Carl Anderson. That man was amazing! There will be days when I sing or hum that song to myself all day, for no reason. I could really see the raw emotion on his face and hear the turmoil in his voice when he says, "We are occupied! Have you forgotten how put down we are?" The powerful feeling behind this song; I love my friend and I believe in what we're doing, but this is going to get us all killed!

Hate to be ambiguous but the whole thing is pretty great from start to finish. It would be easier to list the (maybe) one song I didn't like so much.

I heard the original album with Ian Gillan as Jesus in 1972, in my 6th grade CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine) class, and was amazed by it. So it was no surprise that when the movie came out in the summer of 1973, I fell in love with it...I think I saw the movie almost thirty times...school was out and afternoon performances were $2! I think the entire work is a masterpiece, and the movie just brought it to life, so it's hard for me to choose a favorite.

I have to say, though, that Simon Zealotes is the scene I really look forward to. I love the song and the choreography, and the stop-action shots are unparalleled. For power and emotion, Gethsemane takes it. Ted Neeley really outdid himself with that number...and still does. I had the good fortune to see him perform in the live production a couple of years ago. He's still got it!

I converted to Judaism about six years ago, but I still watch this movie whenever it comes on, and I continue to love it as much as I did when I was a nice little Catholic girl!

"If you can't say anything nice, come sit by me!"

Definitely gotta be Gethsemene. And I actually like Ted Neeley's version best.

I like the garden song especially when it breaks to classic crucifixion artwork. The music grows with each image.

Herod's song-very Burlesque (look it up, people)...love the Dead Sea and the bright colors.

And Pilate's Dream (you know which one, it's his solo).
