Timeless classic for any Movie Library. Should have included a Digital Version though.

Two words: Charlton Heston. Everyone talks about the chariot race, but I like what leads up to the races.

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!

Thank you all the films came extremely well package and arrived quickly Shopping t Best Buy is a breeze. I have family “ I want this & that” I say get it at Best Buy. Well, movie makers have their style and box Office An epic film I first saw at the Drive-In age 8 TV ALWAYS used to showed this Oct 2019 TMC got ripped away standard cable package I got rid of cable NOW I HAVE Ben Hur Below not in the film Based during the time Christ Jesus (KJV) 1 Kings. Ben-Hur: An Israelite Who Assisted in Supporting Moses' Hands During Battle; A Son of Caleb

So glad that I ordered this DVD! The movie was remastered & better than I remembered. Excellent acting, exceptional photography & lots of action. I highly recommend this DVD!

Epic movie making that still can't be matched today. The quality writing, music soundtrack & action sequences (chariot race), etc. all add up to make this a must have blue ray release. Charlton Heston will always be one of the greatest actors of his time and many actors today will never have the resume that he does. I bought this blue ray disc just for the collectibility of the special packaging and have not opened it, but I have the special edition box set which is absolutely fantastic. I think the set of discs included here are basically the same, so why pass up this value disc!!!

Great film. I especially loved the Directors and Heston commentary which was available on the disc. Hearing Heston discussing his iconic role was a real treat. Made me watch it through twice. One of the best films in history and makes the top of most "must-see-films" lists. The musical score is also a classic. They just don't make them like this anymore. The religious tone was infused but done in a way to support all levels of inquiry. Great film and a delight in all respects.

Yes, we know Charlton Heston as Moses (Ten Commandments), but THIS is the movie for which he won a Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Judah Ben-Hur. This movie won 11 Academy Awards. It's a must-see classic and a must-have for any collector. It is truly one of the best epic movies. And this anniversary set has extras.

Despite its running time, this is storytelling at its finest that knows how to entertain; as we follow Judah Ben-Hur's dramatic journey from Jerusalem to Rome and back again, the film just never lets up and immerses you completely. It's hard to imagine anything more cinematic, especially at the time: if ever there was an epic that was meant to be seen on the big screen it's Ben Hur.

In a time that there’s no hope in ones life In the darkness time there is hope that light that shines into the darkness to give use hope and life though Jesus the Christ the son of good and that’s what is moive tells us not to loose hope but keep your head up and look to the light the light is Jesus

ben-hur is one of those epics that must be seen by everyone at least once due to the magnificent scope and the knowledge that not one bit of cgi exists in this film. in a movie that's 55 yrs old it truly shows masters of their respective crafts

My favorite movie of all time. The story is timeless and the acting is flawless with spectacular special effects. Miklos Rozsa's soundtrack is one of the best of all time. If you have never watched this movie you are in for a real treat.

This film should be watched by everyone. I'm assuming a lot of the younger crowds might get bored by it, but anyone that's able to sit through a 3 hour film, mostly dialog driven, then please do yourself a favor and watch it. It's a classic epic for a reason, and will be on the top of most movie lists for a long time.

THIS IS THE MUST OWN EDITION OF THIS FILM. IT HAS ALL THE CONTENT OF THE DELUXE ULTIMATE EDITION WITHOUT THE BULK. PERFECT SIZE AND PACKAGING. WARNER SHOULD RELEASE MORE OF THESE.

In every years during Easter week. Wanted a copy so I can watch from the beginning when I feel like watching. Studio style movie not made the same these days .

It is amazing they made a movie this old look superior to most movies made today. The colors pop and everything is crisp. As far as plot goes? It's Ben Hur. One of the greatest films ever made. What else is there to say other than it looks and sounds awesome.

Good graphics, excellent color and still a good movie to watch

The reason I bought this movie because I never had a chance to see the whole movie till the end since my uncle didn't allow me too, because I was too young to see it. but I did purchased it and enjoy very much to add for my collections

These movies have been in my family for years. I had missed placed them in a move. They are wonderful to watch and very uplifting and spiritual. Thank you for having them available and in good quality.
