The phrase "Ten Commandments" is highly familiar in Western culture and is often extended to any immutable code of conduct.[citation needed]

Two famous films of this name were directed by Cecil B. DeMille, a silent movie released in 1923, and another movie in 1956, starring Charlton Heston as Moses. The Decalogue, a 1988 Polish film, and The Ten, a 2007 American film, use the Ten Commandments as a structure for 10 smaller stories.[68]

The form and content of the Decalogue have often been parodied and satirized including Arthur Hugh Clough's poem The Latest Decalogue,[69] Mel Brooks's film History of the World, Part I and George Carlin's stand-up.
