These are great!
How about “The Melchizidekian Candidate”? (I admit it. I’m obsessed with this movie.)
Christopher Guest’s “Waiting for Holofernes”
“All About Eve” (too obvious?)
“Harry Potter and the Holy of Holies” (the dumbed-down version of “Gnaeus Pompey and the Holy of Holies”)
“Pharoah! The Musical”; The bittersweet story of the ten plagues, told from the ruler of Egypt’s point of view
Cheers–

Otto,
I like your suggestions, especially “The Melchizidekian Candidate”. I myself was trying to think of one to go with that classic, so I am glad you supplied it. “Pharaoh! The Musical” also sound intriguing. I could almost want to supply some lyrics for it.
Ahem…that’s Abel, Curt. Abel!
