why are these biblical allusions?
i can sort of see lotr but chronicals of narnia would be better.
matrix is more existentialist
evan almighty (well based on bruce almighty which i have seen, so i could be wrong) is actually about god, so it isn't realy an allusion.
i realy dont get 300 or terminator

300 - Xerxes and Sparta, Old Testament.

Terminator - John Connor is like the savior of the world from Skynet

Evan Almighty - Based on Noah and the Ark.

Matrix - again Savior of the world, which is Neo.

Lord of the Rings - Gandalf has powers of coming back from the dead.

the three hundred, just because it's in anchient history, would be my guess. as close as I can tell, almost any movie with a "Choosen One" character is biblical in it's own way.
in that vein, I suggest:

big trouble in little china
Hell comes to Frog town (I & II)

With this in mind;

Doctor who

He can regenerate at death, and is often called a lonely god or angel!
