    Full List of Adam and Eve Films

    A poster for "The Private Lives of Adam and Eve"On Sunday I started compiling a list of films featuring Adam and Eve. I've now had a chance to work through that previous list, and eliminate a few films which seem only tangentially linked to the biblical story. In some cases however there isn't really enough evidence to tell. I've also arranged them in ascending order of year. Here's the full list, 44 films in total:

    Adam & Eve (1910)
    Adam & Eve [Vitagraph] (1912)
    The New Adam and Eve (1915)
    Young Eve and Old Adam (1920)

    There's also 3 Adam and Eve related films being produced at the moment:


    Keanu Reeves in a sci-fi version of the Adam and Eve story

    Scott Derrickson's planned adaptation of Paradise Lost,

    Did I miss anything?
    (This list was written in 2020 and has not been updated - sorry about that! Feel free to add additional titles in the comments and I might add them at some point in the future if I get a chance!)

      Thanks Shawn,

      I'll add second time lucky in there. Not heard of that before.

      I'll leave the other two for now though. Adam and Eve Figure films are another whole can of worms that I don't quite have the time to get into!.

      Much appreciated.

      Matt

      At the German Movie Das schwarze Schaf (1960) with Heinz Rühmann, there is a bad Theatre-Scence with Adam and Eve.
