Just can't stop watching this epic movie. So glad I got this.

Just saw a preview for a remake and not even close to this one.

Older movie but still a good one. Always will be a classic.

Who can turn down such a classic movie at such a great price!

fantastic classic film available for a great price

This is a true classic film and I love having the extras.

It's Ben Hur.. A classic in Film..What more has to be said

Charlton Heston gives his "normal" great performance

A classic tale of betrayl and revenge. An epic movie that earned numerous Oscars for good reason.

The diamond elite packages scratch VERY easily. They look good, but the glossy laminate is highly susceptible to scratches from the tiniest things.

Without a doubt this movie is a classic. That being said, you need to prepared for a long watch.

this movie made me want to throw the t.v. out the friggin window.

Another of my favorites. I have about 5 favorite, early Christian movies. All were on tape and I now have 3 on DVD. Good thing as I tend to watch them over and over. Young people today would do well to watch this classic. What a great way to see a story of Early Christians who had to suffer much at the hands of Ancient Rome. The arrogance of the Romans is quite profound. The fear of disease (in this case, leprosy), the abuse by the conquerers, yet the honor some of those same conquerers showed a Jew after he saves the life of an admiral is quite a contrast. The action of the chariot race, and the brutality the losers suffered when they couldn't get out of the way in time is horrifying. Even when Messala cheats by having iron blades installed on his chariot's wheels in order to destroy his opponents in the circus seems perfectly acceptable. What a different time and place! For those of you who must have some romance--it's there. For those of you who must have smut and filth, you'll be disappointed. This film is art, not trash.

What classic doesn't have an amazingly deep and pure plot behind it? For this generation, young people actually have to be forced in classes to watch old classics to ever actually watch them. With all the crazy special effects and amazingly good looking (with makeup, expensive gowns, fake tans, surgery, personal trainer) actors there's nothing visually "WOW!" about classical movies that would lure the youth into it. I am an example of this. We watched this in Latin class in high school twice a year for five years, and I enjoyed it every time. It's a quiet not overly dramatic, and innocently sweet masterpiece bringing to life the roman history we have been taught.

Ben-Hur has always been one of my favorites. Charlerton Heston is a Great actor. This movie combines the story of one man at the time Jesus was doing his ministry. I love when Jesus shows up in the movie, to help Ben-Hur . Brings tears to my eyes every time . And to own it on Blu Ray, is like watching it for the first time. If you buy Blu Ray, you need to add this movie to your collection. A must have.

This movie is absolutely fantastic on Blu-ray! The picture is just as detailed, if not more so, than anything released in the last few years. Everything about this movie is top-notch. The story, the acting, the cinematography, the score, and even the A/V quality are all superb. It's epic in every sense of the word. It was worth every penny!

Classic Movie, great soundtrack and wide screen. Chariot race is of course classic.

The DVD was shipped in time..very happy with Best Buy customer service and commitment

Its a great movie everyone should watch and have in their collection. The scenes are beautiful and the acting is very old school. There is a great plot as well.

Ben-Hur is the quintessential Hollywood biblical epic. This 1959 version of Lew Wallace's best-selling novel, went on to win 11 Academy Awards.
