CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Watching the Bible movie is this a good start?

I can't say as I have not seen the film you referenced in the link though it appears to be "the Bible" released in 1962. I imagine it is pretty good. The film that is used the most for missions is this one. Watch | Jesus Film Project
This 1979 release has been translated in over 2000 languages and viewed over 5 billion times. You can find it on youtube I think or the link above for free.

Is that the one that starts at Genesis 1 & goes to Jacob, I think, or Joseph? I've seen that one. I liked it!
But a good start to what? You will benefit from reading the Bible, tho the movie is good! I remember it following the Bible pretty well

God uses everything related to the Bible, or that is intended to bring honor to His Son. But I wouldn't let it replace any real Bible reading in total. Not that I think you intend such, but just to cover that base while responding.
Regarding good starts, just to assume all meanings since I'm uncertain what kind of "start" is being referred to...
In my personal opinion, I think the book of 1 John is one of the most powerful places to spend reading, followed by the book of Romans (Romans is acclaimed by scholars to be the most profound in their own opinions by a large percentage).
These two books are very simple and powerful and to finish off, anything in the four Gospels is eye opening - and Proverbs is great if you don't have a large attention span or much time in that you can read until a verse strikes your soul or resonates with you, and hold on to that one verse (or two or more) the rest of the day and gain spiritual food with very little time or investment. A single verse from Proverbs can change the direction of one's life in many ways.
Back to the op though...
As far as Biblical media, videos, music, podcasts, etc... If you focus on Christ while consuming such material I absolutely (from my heavy experience in doing just this) know Him to personally speak to me about it and teach me using it, even if something is in error in the content. Typically, once the multimedia I'm consuming creates a curiosity about a particular subject, I'm off to study and on to commentaries and prayer about finding the answer concerning the event or depiction in question and find myself in His Word learning something I would not have otherwise known.
If you find it interesting, and it is generally Biblical, surely God will use it to bring enlightenment to you (Romans 8:28).
1 John 2:27

Don't let anyone discourage you from wanting to watch any Bible related movie. Of course it's not a primary path to seeking God or sanctifying oneself, but it certainly can be good, worthwhile entertainment. And if it gets you focused on God and the Bible for a couple of hours, I'd personally consider it as a form of Bible study or worship, assuming it's a decent movie.
I've watched most of the free YouTube Bible movies, including all of the Jesus stories, and find this one on Jesus as the best:
