Easter means different things to different people. For Christians, it is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who rose from the grave after dying for the sins of all the world.
For others, it is a secular holiday that involves nice dinners and chocolate Easter bunnies. For kids, it is all about waiting for the Easter Bunny to come to visit them and then hunting for Easter eggs.
Here are Easter movies for all of those distinctive groups:
- Amazon Prime Video (Video on Demand)
- Angela Ward Costello (Director) - Ben Edwards (Producer)
“The Easter Promise”
is a movie from the 1970s. The film was one of a series that followed the same family, featuring the character of Addie Mills. It's a sentimental story and a classic to put on during the Easter season every year.
- Amazon Prime Video (Video on Demand)
- Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, Peter Lawford (Actors)
“Easter Parade”

“Alice in Wonderland”
features a rabbit as a very important character. He's not an Easter bunny, but it's an important and fun tale. The animated version or the Tim Burton version (both by Disney) are winners.
- Amazon Prime Video (Video on Demand)
- Todd Barbee, Melanie Kohn, Stephen Shea (Actors)
“It's The Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown”
is an Easter staple. A classic comedy moment? When Charlie Brown observed the pre-Christmas sales when Easter is approaching. It's a mockery of the advance placement, so many stores do for holiday product placement.
“A Walton Easter“
is the special Easter holiday reunion movie featuring most of the original cast of the 1970s iconic television series. In this movie, you see what happened to all of those kids.
This movie was set in 1969. (Keep in mind that the original series featured the siblings growing up during the Great Depression.) Although their lives did not end up perfectly, you'll soon recognize the lovable personalities in all the grown-up characters.
“The First Easter Rabbit“
is a classic movie that's now on DVD. It was first aired on television in 1976. The movie opens with a young girl whose mother is making the child throw out all her stuffed animals, including the beloved rabbit Stuffy.
Luckily, Stuffy is saved and encounters an adventure where it's revealed that he is destined to be the first Easter bunny. Yet, challenges stand in his way. With Burl Ives in the mix, you can't go wrong.

“Little House on the Prairie's “The Lord Is My Shepherd”
Episode 14

“Jesus Christ Superstar”
