Rating:  - Loved it!
Everything I expected. I love this film and it was wonderful to have it in letterbox and without commercials!
Rating: - Ben-Hur Collector's Edition
Received the DVD earlier than what was expected. The DVD is the best, the four set collector's edition has tons of stuff never seen before.
Rating: - The Chariots of Challenge
The chariot race was always my favorite part of the film. Interestingly enough my grandchildren also enjoyed this part, the challenge between good and evil. The acting, story line, scenery, and characters collectively and individually were inspirting and spiritually motivating. The characters may die but movies like this will never die of interest.
Rating: - Fine DVD version of one of the all-time outstanding movies
So often, films that are hyped the most fail to live up to expectations. If anything, Ben Hur surpasses expectations. Charlton Heston is brilliant and Jack Hawkins also stands out. This is a superb character study of a man tormented who struggles between the desire for revenge and the need to do what is right. Look for a terrific scene in the galley of a Roman ship where a military commander (Hawkins)drives Ben Hur to new levels of brutal achievement, while the two characters communicate solely by eye contact. Themes of revenge, torment, healing and forgiveness come to life in this complex and rich story.
Rating: - This great four DVD set includes both the Oscar winning 1959 version and well as the 1925 silent and a "chariotful" of extras!
