It is hard to believe a movie as big as this was made almost 60 years ago. The sheer scope of the movie is impressive and being the most expensive movie made at the time is easily seen. It still holds up pretty well today. It is extremely long but moves well for the most part. Charlton Heston gives a really great performance. The chariot race was fantastic and still rivals action scenes today. This is definitely one everyone should see at least once in your life.

This is an epic remake, something else that Hollywood has trouble doing -- to remake a film on this scale that finds new audiences year after year, after year. Brilliant, wonderful, every bit of it. A must, must see. Just plain excellent!

What can be said about this film that hasnt already been said?

It is easy to see why it was not matched in the number of Oscars giv More

Majestic in scope and story telling.

The truth is, is that Ben-Hur deserved every award that was showered upon it. It's a titanic film both in structure and scope. It doesn't need me to go over old ground about how much the film cost to make, the number of extras, the number of sets and etc, it's More
