Every scene in BEN HUR looks like a beautiful painting.

Let’s not forget the outstanding performance of Stephen Boyd as Messala. Great villain and his back got pretty banged up in that chariot race because his harness slipped.

RIP gentlemen. You’ve entertained a lot of us for many years.

Mr. Heston mentions himself briefly and then goes on to pay hommage to the unsung heroes. Class act.

Ben-Hur is a masterpiece and it holds up fabulously well

[roberteckhardt]

The chariot race is the greatest sequence in movie history. No cgi, live action.

BEST. MOVIE. EVER! I love this movie, and Chuck Heston, so much! My favorite film and my favorite actor!

[EmilyGloeggler]

Thanks Chuck and everyone who made the 1959 film. Well done.

[JohnUSA]

Best movie ever. A classic of all classics.

[Omar-wqdz]

That chariot race was so well done, considering it was in the late 1950s. I don't think filmmakers today or in the future, with the technology and money available, will ever come close to pulling off something like that.

The stories to remember. Phenomenal chariot racing scenes!

[gulmerton]

These behind the scenes stories are always very interesting.

[Sarasdad]

Ben-Hur one of the greatest movies ever made

[mikevanderman]

I looked it up before watching and honestly, honestly, the only images I saw were about chariots... Then I watch the movie last night and the the chariot scene was only about half hour or less... And the span of the movie is 20 minutes away from 4 hours! I really enjoyed every seconds of it... Marvelous work.

The spirit of God was on that movie from beginning to end! I was only 6 years old when I saw it on the big screen, and it effected me for life!
I believe it had a part in my coming to Christ later in my 30s. I fell in love with this movie from the moment I first saw it at 6 years old!

Melhor ator de todos os tempos e o melhor filme que vi.

[kalinkastoyneva]

Любимият ми филм, който мога да гледам нонстоп. Всички герои са на мястото си и особено Юда Бен Хур.
