Ben Hur Reviews: Ben-Hur 2009-12-06 - Shipped in a timely manner. Will purchase from them again. I was very happy and delighted with my purchase.
A True American Classic 2009-11-26 - Despite its unrelenting seriousness, William Wyler's high-budget depiction of a champion charioteer's encounter with Jesus is worthy of Hollywood's golden age. Some special effects show their age, but most scenes will leave you either breathless or teary-eyed--you may see Christ in a whole new light. Stephen Boyd is outstanding as Messala.
Best of the Bible epics. 2009-11-10 - Surpassing even Cecil B. DeMille's 'Ten Commandments' in terms of spectacle, this 1959 celluloid behemoth still holds its own against such modern-day imitators as 'Gladiator.' No film since has presented the Greco-Roman world in such over-the-top spectacle. The chariot race is still compelling (even in the claustrophobic pan-and-scan VHS version), and the script combines reverent Biblical drama and polished Hollywood romance as only a film of this era could. A classic, despite (or perhaps because of) its many campy elements and rumored gay subtext.
Ben Hur 2009-11-02 - I am very pleased with my purchase of the DVD "Ben Hur" I would recommend it.
Thank you,

Ben Hur Uncut! 2009-10-28 - it's nice to see scenes in the early part of the movie that are sometimes cut out on the TV version.
