A beautifully shot epic with an inspiring level of realism and the greatest aspect ratio of all time.
I shit you not I was into this movie when I was a kid do to watching it while I was hospitalized on the tv. Hey it got me through pneumonia
A masterpiece that everyone should watch at least once. An epic story with amazing sets that are not made in this level of detail anymore.
Excellent biblical epic with a strong performance by Charlton Heston and who can forget the chariot race
A memorable epic. Watch it at least once despite it feeling like a chore due to the length.
A visual definition of epic. Years later the production of this film still marvels & impresses. A must for any lover of classic film.
An amazing classic epic. With some of cinema’s most iconic moments. Wonderful sets and costumes.
There may be no greater technological feat in film that Ben-Hur’s chariot race. The scope of the film is absolutely fantastic.
My second favorite movie of all time. It is such a beautiful film from the direction, cinematography, score, sets, and story. Just perfect.
Beautifully-made epic set in the Roman era. Jesus is central to the plot even though you never see his face.
