Best Easter Movies To Watch This Spring

You've probably noticed that Easter falls on a different day, and in some cases, even month each year, but have you ever wondered how the day is actually determined? Well, wonder no more, as there is a perfectly simple and easily understandable explanation! Not really, but this is how it goes - Easter falls on the first Sunday following the first ecclesiastical full moon that occurs on or after the day of the vernal equinox. See, clear as day! And although this formula called computus describes exactly how the date is chosen, it does not make it any simpler to understand. So, we should probably just keep on checking our calendars each year for the date of egg hunting, chocolate eating, and bunny petting. And, after all the aforementioned merriments have drained you to the state of a potato, why not relax on a couch and check out some of these Easter movies that we've rounded up here?

So yeah, this is our list of Easter-themed movies - some of these are for kids, others will only be suitable for those who aren't known to be squeamish. Most of the family-friendly movies, like Peter Rabbit, Hop, or The Dog Who Saved Easter shy away from the religious aspects of this celebration and stay within the boundaries of bunnies, chicks, and all that's lighthearted. However, those meant for adult audiences, especially The Passion Of The Christ, take the reins firmly and gallop away in a chariot of true-to-life violence. Of course, if you do not wish to cover the eyes of your younglings every five minutes of the film, you can always check the descriptions supplied and base your choice on them!

The Easter movies are, as per usual, just a hare's hair further down - once you are there, do not forget to vote for the ones you think are the best! Also, share this article with anyone in need of entertainment varying from fun animation to straight-up gore.
