The Last Temptation of Christ is probably the best I’ve seen. 1988, directed by Martin Scorsese with Willem Dafoe as Christ as Harvey Keitel as Judas. It was nominated for Best Director at the Oscars.
Be warned - it’s not your standard Christian film, and is R rated for a reason.

Details on the film, and here are details on the novel that inspired it by Nikos Kazantzakis.
Damn, Willem Dafoe went deep.
Probably the best performance of his career, IMHO.
Yep, it’s not “canon”, but it’s an interesting take.
