any hitler or jesus bio-pics?

I know the 2 subjects on hand differ from each other by a lot. However i find it hard to believe that there has a major movie that shows the ENTIRE life of either of these two figures...if anyone knows of any the shows the whole life and is actually good please post it as i am very curious

Isn't the movie Max somewhat about a young Hitler? I don't know...

I don't think there are any about Hitler. I'm sure countless documentaries have been made about him but I've never come across a full-blown movie biopic. Paul Verhoeven has been wanting to make one in Europe for ages; I, for one, hope he can get it off the ground some day.

Also, Mel Gibson is working on his Jesus film "The Passion" at the moment, but I'm sure it's not going to cover all of his (His?) life.

that's actually exactly what i am talking about there are countless movies about both figures "15 minutes of fame" but none of their whole life...(passion is about his last days)

Jesus of Nazareth covers all of Jesus' life doesn't it.

Also, The Greatest Story Ever Told.

I believe there's a book that cover's Jesus' life as well. I can't remember the title, however.
