Well since the Biblical description of the birth and life of Jesus is a FACT and not a story, I would have to say it would be A Christmas Carol (the 1951 version with Alastair Sim)

"Capote" was especially gripping, if not very profound and tells and great story. It accurately tells the life of gay journalist and author Truman Capote. "Crash" was fantastic as well. It had an all star cast that was hot enough from music and acting, and also stirs your thinking about racial bigotry and hate that exists in our world. It was my favorite.

haven't seen the movie myself, but it very well could be. \n\nwe as humans tend to tell the same stories over and over again. very similar "savior" stories are found in many of the worlds religious traditions, not only christianity. \n\ni believe that we are expressing the archtypal truths of humanity through these stories. and that they will continuously manifest through out life. read "the power of myth" by joseph campbell. he documents this phenomenon very well.\n\n and i don't mean to to say that Jesus Christ wasn't a real man who did magnificent things. but just that there have been other incarnations of beings sent here to lead humanity towards it's true nature of Love and Unity. \n\ni do believe that most people miss the point or the lesson that the Holy Masters have come to teach. they get stuck in the dogma and miss the true essence of the Spirit. but we are evolving and this is part of that process. we will all get there eventually.\n\n*peace

A narrative poem?  Or an epic poem?

I can't go into much detail, it would take all day. Here is my short list: [1]Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand, a story about a man who said he would stop the motor of the world, and did. [2] The Book of Five Rings, by Miamoto Musashi, it is a manual for victory, like Sun Tsu's Art of War, but more personal. [3] The Book of New Sun, by Gene Wolfe, a magnificently written heroic epic that takes place on Earth (or Urth), billions of years in the future. This may be the "best" book. [4] Time Enough for Love, by Robert Anson Heinlein, the life and times of the oldest man in the Universe (over 2000 yrs old). [5] The Dark Tower, by Steven King, the story of Roland the Gunslinger, one of the most badass literary characters of all time.

Yes.  The Bible is an amazing book.  Those who are wise will read it and try to understand it.  The fool simply sits back and says "it all a myth"...

I tell you now a story of beauty and tragedy. It begins with Orpheus, the best musician that ever lived. One strum of his lyre, one note sung, and beasts would crawl to him, rocks would move to be closer, trees would leave their places to be near to him. They called him a sorcerer for his power, and perhaps he was, for he was the son of the Muse Calliope.\nHe lived his life simply and carelessly until the day he met Eurydice. She was a Dryad, and their love was perfect and unbreakable. Aristaeus, who saw Eurydice's beauty and desired it, tried to take her unwillingly. She ran from him. Ran in terror, without thought to her step, and so it was she stepped on a viper in her flight. The venom of its bite killed her at once, and Orpheus was inconsolable. His grief was bitter, but he did not let it lull him into a stupor. He decided to take action.\nWith his lyre, Orpheus descended into the Underworld. A normal mortal would have perished any number of times, but Orpheus had his lyre and his voice and he charmed Cerberus - the three-headed monster dog of Hades who guarded the Underworld - into letting him pass. Facing Hades and his cold Queen Persephone he played for them his sorrow at the loss of his love. The heart that was frozen by Hades' abduction melted in Persphone's breast and a tear rolled down her cheek. Even Hades could not help weeping. They let Orpheus through to Eurydice, but warned him very carefully: Eurydice would follow him into the light of the world and once she entered the sunlight she would be changed from a shade back to a woman. But if Orpheus doubted, if he looked back to see her, she would be lost to him forever.\nOrpheus heard and rejoiced. He turned and left the dark hall of Hades and began his ascent back to life. As he walked he rejoiced that his wife would soon be with him again. He listened closely for her footfall behind him, but a shade makes no noise. The closer to the light he got, the more he began to believe that Hades had tricked him to get him out of the Underworld, that Eurydice was not behind him. Only feet away from the light Orpheus lost faith and turned around. He saw Eurydice, but only for a moment as her shade was whisked back down among the other dead souls. She was gone.\nOrpheus tried again to enter the Underworld and demand her return, but one cannot enter twice the same way - and no other way was open to him. All that was left to him was death.\n\nHere the story changes. There are different stories of his death. Some say he played so mournfully that his songs called for death, and that the animals who surrounded him tore him apart, weeping as they did. Some say it was Maenads in a frenzy who ripped the singer to shreds. Some say he was struck down by Zeus for disclosing mysteries that were meant to be kept sacred. Either way, he was torn apart, and much of him was thrown to the winds. But the Muses mourned the death of their son and prodigy, and saved his head to sing forever.

It talks about the powerful human drive to achieve, the value of friendship, the experience of loss, the inevitability of death. \n\nSEVEN SAGES: Wise men who brought civilization to the seven oldest cities of Mesopotamia

Ovid's Metamorphoses\n\nIf you only read one, read that one, as you will learn the greatest amount from it. Practically all major Greco-Roman myths play a part in it and it is wonderfully written.
