Sound? Check. Fury? Check. The above signifying absolutely nothing? Check. This is apocalypse filmmaker extraordinaire Roland Emmerich’s (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) newest work: 2012.

Jesus of Nazareth (b. 0-30 AD) Not everyone can cause a stir about the most famous historical figure of all time, but Mel Gibson achieved that — and put a whole new spin on Jesus — with The Passion of the Christ (2004).
