A few things come to mind instantly when I think about Passover<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One, I need to stop eating chametz<\/em> (a.k.a. foods that have leavened grain, like wheat, barley, rye, oats, and spelt). Two, I have to clean my house (to get rid of all the foods made with leavened grains, of course) so I\u2019m ready to host my friends and family for the Seder, the yearly ritual of retelling the story of Moses leading the Jews out of slavery in ancient Egypt. And three, why aren\u2019t there any Passover movies that accurately depict the unique traditions surrounding this time of year?!<\/p>\n

I had to get to the bottom of this\u2014after all, I write about pop culture, movies, and TV for a living. As it turns out, when it comes to the best Passover movies<\/strong>, there aren\u2019t a ton of options, but I did manage to find a select number that I feel embody the true spirit of Passover.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s musical films like The Prince of Egypt <\/em>or iconic choices like The Ten Commandments<\/em>, there are unique ways everyone can embrace Passover on the screen. So, grab some matzo, put a little butter on it, and settle in for a walk down Jewish memory lane.<\/p>\n

1) The Prince of Egypt (1998)<\/h2>\n
