The Message is a movie about Mohammed.
Jesus of Nazareth was a TV miniseries that was pretty good it's from 1977.
Little Buddah, is kind of based off how the Buddahs life was although it pairs it with life today.
There is a movie about Buddah coming out in May of 2008

"Mohamed Messenger of God" was retitled "The Message" following protests against using the prophet's name in the title.
From everything2.com:In Washington, D.C., a group of black Muslims invaded the B'nai B'rith building and two others with plenty of weaponry, taking more than 100 hostages. When they gave their demands to the media, the chief one was a plea for the cancellation of the American premiere of Mohammad: Messenger of God. These terrorists were members of the small Hanafi sect and were led by Khalifa Hamaas Abdul Khaalis, one of its founders. Khaalis objected to the film on several grounds, including the very idea that Mohammed could be "played by an actor" (so obviously Khaalis knew only the rumors about the film). The first showing at the Hollywood Paramount theater, the film was stopped 35 minutes into its first show and the audience's money refunded, with the theater manager citing a "small political problem." Akkad offered to show the movie to the gunmen and hostages in Washington and said "I will destroy the film if it is offensive to them," but his proposal was turned down. Instead, the terrorists arranged phone calls to ambassadors of Muslim nations, as well as a few in-person meetings with diplomats who promised to do their best to keep the movie from being shown; after these promises, Khaalis and company surrendered. (Khaalis was sentenced to "21 to 120 years" for his part in these events.)

Twenty or so years ago, there was a movie called Mohammed, Messenger of God Although no actor played the role of Mohammed (I believe he was represented on screen by an empty space), the film provoked an outcry among some Muslims. It didn't do well in theaters because of this protest, but it's available on tape or DVD as The Messenger.

Monty Python - The life of Brian - Hilarious film! Would love to see one called the life of Mohammed - some how I think that would start another war

A movie about Muhammed would cause Muslim riots, as that is a visual representation of him, which is illegal to them.
A movie about Buddha, however, would be pretty snazzy. I would so totally go see it. Buddha = win.
