One of the Best Movies of All Time
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ben-Hur (1959) is one of those films that you can watch over and over again. I personally was not familiar with Ben-Hur until a friend told me about it. I was familiar with Charlton Heston because he portrayed the role of Moses in The Ten Commandments (1956). Charlton Heston portryas the role of Judah Ben-Hur. Even though I read somewhere online that Ben-Hur is a fictional character (based on the novel by Lewis Wallace), the story takes place during the days of Jesus Christ. I do not want to spoil the film for those who have not seen it, but this film is definitely worth seeing. The acting is superb, the story is excellent, and the picture is beautiful. I would also like to add that the Miklos Rozsa's soundtrack/music is like nothing else. In my opinion, this film has one of the best soundtracks to listen to. Ben-Hur truly defines the definition of an Epic Movie. For a movie that was released in 1959, this film is very impressive (Nominated for 12 Oscars, and won 11). Even though it is 3 hours and 40 minutes, it is worth taking the time seeing this timeless epic. Transferred from the original film negative, the sound and picture quality on this Blu-Ray is excellent, and it is worth owning. I am glad that Best Buy still had this film available on Blu-Ray, delivering the film that was meant to be seen!

Amazing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Favorite Film of all time! Incredibly restored on Blu-Ray. Had a great time screening it to my friends finally after telling them about for so long. Only take away/Why I refrained from posting 5 Stars was due to it not being full screen & it being overly bright bothering our eyes(probably TV fault)
