Talk with your husband and let him know how much the movie meant to you. Tell him to give it a try for fifteen minutes and if he still doesn't want to watch it, you can take the movie out and put something else in. Does your husband enjoy the Christmas season and Christmas movies? If so, tell him that you would like for this movie to be included with the other Christmas movies you watch this time of year.

Maybe you should watch a couple similar movies first to build him up to it. Start off with some flesh eating zombie movies then watch the Texas Chain Saw massacre. After those he should be prepared for the gore and violence.
Here is a list of similar movies along the same theme as the passion, and much more believable:

If you can't get him to watch Passion - then watch the movie it was loosely based on: "Chopper Chicks In Zombietown".

You can't force someone to watch a movie. Just like you can't force religion or your beliefs on them. What I would suggest is just start watching the movie, and he will probably end up sitting down and watching it. If he seems interested in it after awhile, tell him you could start it from the beginning if he wants. I saw it too, and think it's a wonderful movie. I want to see the Nativity that's coming out friday.

Merry Christmas Melody,
My husband & I both saw the movie and then bought the VHS tape to show to family and friends who could not go see it. I would suggest that you invite 2 or 3 relatives or friends over and have a movie date at home. Serve some popcorn, sodas, refreshments of some kind and play the movie. Maybe, your husband would be open to sitting down with others there and watch this movie with them. If he is a believer, he might be willing to do this. If he is not a believer, maybe he is uncomfortable with the whole theme of this movie. Is it possible he might be afraid to show his emotions and might even cry during this movie?
Many men have a difficult time showing that kind of emotion.
My husband and I both cried, right there in the theater, along with half of the audience. It takes a stong person to acknowledge that they can be vulnerable to that kind of emotion.
God bless you. Please do not push this on him. I hope that my suggestion will help. We had much favorable response from our friends who came into our home to view the movie.
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you and your family.

The question is why do you want him to watch it? Is it because it is a good movie (I don't think so). Or is it because you want him to change his attitude toward religion? The Bible says a woman should respect her husband and if he is not a Christian, she should set a good example and he may follow. Nagging is not good for the marriage. I'm not saying you are doing either because you haven't given us enough information. Respect your husband and he will do anything for you.
Oh, I see your additional comments. Your husband is not going to do better Spiritually because you nag him. He will do better if he sees the love of Christ in you. Give him time. Lots of time.

You can't force feed a movie such as that onto ANYONE! Either they have the PASSION in their heart or they don't! "Passion of the Christ" is in latin with english subtext, not easy to follow unless you know the Bible to some extent! Althow I do wish he would be open minded to watch it with you & LEARN! My best to you!

Pushing Him will only cause Him to push from you..Thats what happen to my husband I was for sure I knew what would help Him but in return He turned on me..Give it to the Lord let Him deal with Him,in time you will see God can handle it far better than we can..

Hi, you must not force him into watching the Passion it has to be his free choice or else he will not get anything from it.

He will only criticize it if he does watch it. Keep praying for him, that does much more spiritually for him than a temporary emotional response.
