The Agony and the Ecstasy (1965)
Michelangelo: The Agony and the Ecstasy. Part ICharlton Heston brings his booming "Moses" voice to the story of Michelangelo. Although you see Heston on his back, painting the Sistine ceiling, we now know that Michelangelo painted while standing. Still, a great movie. Rex Harrison (Dr. Doolittle, the ORIGINAL one, not Eddie Murphy) plays Michelangelo's tempermental match, Pope Julius II. Look for the scene where Michelangelo receives his inspiration for the Creation of Adam section of the ceiling.
