Never , never ever get tired of watching Ben- Hur !!!!!

One of “The Greatest Movies Ever Made!”

Sometimes, not often, a "perfect" film is made and this film is one of the top five in my book. Script, Sound track, costume, cinematography, directing and of course the cast, five star plus!!! I was nine years old when it was made and remember the glory of seeing it for the first time even today these many years later.

I taught in a Hare Krishna school in Mayapur West Bengal. The kids watched Ben Hur and the 10 commandments every week. Each time they watched them it was like they were seeing the films for the first time, they never tired of them. I met Charlton Heston in 1996 and gave him a card thanking him for his movies and told him how much the kids in Mayapur loved them. 2 weeks later he wrote back asking me to thank the Mayapur kids and to give them his love. When I left the school to return to Australia the students presented me with the New Testament.

This is my absolute favorite movie of all time! It was a five-star movie in every sense...the film score, acting, direction, and script! It addressed all the important themes such as love, friendship, betrayal, redemption, forgiveness, and restoration. Thank You, Lord🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Stephen Boyd not receiving the Oscar for supporting actor is the greatest mistake ever made by the academy....

This movie, along with the Ten Commandments (1956), are 2 of the greatest movies ever made

The older we get the better these movies become, literally !

Charlton Heston was the perfect choice to play this role.

One of the best, if not the best, epic movies to ever come out of Hollywood.

The way Christ is portrayed in this film, with unspoken power and sense of awe. This film is a masterpiece.

Its great to see that we can watch all the GREATEST Classics of all time that exhibit LOVE & HUMANITY & HATE, KILLING, & IMMORALITY. How sad this world has become.

This movie truly touches my soul and brightens and strengthens my spirit! God is amazing and miraculous! Glory to God.

Best Biblical Epos Ever made !!!!Brilliant Charlton Heston

I’m not a horsey person, but those white horses are stunning, beautiful, magnificent beasts! The chariot race is cinematic brilliance- no CGI used or needed.

Charlton Heston's facial expression as he ascends the stairs toward his mother and sister at the very end ... that's what you call *great acting.*

Absolutely one of the BEST movies ever made!!

When cinema was great! No cursing, no slang, no cheap sex, no tats, no gangsta rap, no fake CGI ... 🎞📽🎬

People know I am a huge movie buff and walking talking Encyclopedia of Movie History. The first question they always ask me is "What is the greatest movie ever made?" I always answer the same: Ben Hur from 1959.

Love the Sheik & his horses!!❤

This movie earned every single one of its eleven Academy Awards. A masterpiece.

The Chariot Race is the "most thrilling" action sequence ever filmed in movie making history, imo. I've watched it at least a dozen times over the years, always on the edge of my seat.

You haven't failed!!! 😊 I know this man... He gave me water to drink and gave me the will to live!!

No matter what your beliefs… This is a GREAT film!

I absolutely love this movie, since l first saw it 60 years ago. Everyone always talks about how Heston learned to drive a chariot, but Boyd did too! Even though he played the villain, l liked Stephen Boyd. Great acting, a very handsome man, gone too soon.😢

One of the greatest movies ever made. Never tired of seeing it again.

One of the greatest movies ever made.

The greatest movie ever made...... Ben Hur will be my favorite till I die.....❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹

By far and away the best Christian movie about Christ's crucifixion and the effects on people of Rome and the Jews...truly a masterpiece!!!

I like to say boldly: This is the best movie I have ever seen. It is the best movie in the whole movie history.

Love this movie. Funny how Martha Scott played Charlton Heston's mother in both Ben Hur and The Ten Commandments.

I never knew what a decent person Charlton Heston was. His daughter spoke so highly of him. A real Prince🙂

BEN HUR- Great Timeless Movie! Equal to Ten Commandments and two of the best movies ever made by man ! Two of the greatest Events of all time and one is Ben Hur in the great chariot race and in Ten Commandments Moses dividing the Red Sea and bringing the Israelites to the Promised Land.

Its an insult that this movie wasn't rated a perfect 100.

Ten Commandments & Ben Hur are Masterpieces that no other film will ever reach these heights

One man controlling 4 powerful war horses - such immense feat. I like how Charlton Heston kisses each horse after the race.

אני מישראל וראיתי את הסרט המרשים הזה עשרות פעמים. זה אחד הסרטים האהובים עלי בכל הזמנים. מה שעוד מייחד את הסרט זאת המוסיקה הנפלאה שמרגשת אותי כל פעם מחדש ואני מאזין לה מעל 50 שנה.

הטובים והאמת תמיד מנצחים את הרוע והרשעים כך היה והוכח לכל אורכה של ההיסטוריה האנושית בכל הזמנים

My favorite part of the movie! Missing my dad, mom and sister !! We loved this!!

This movie is the real deal, not like the failed 2016 version. God bless all the people involved in the making of this masterpiece.

One of those movies that as a kid came on TV once a year and we never missed it. Like The Wizard of Oz, Bridge over the River kwai, The Ten Commandments

I watched this masterpiece in 1960 holding the hand of the love of my life. Now, 2023, she is gone 40 years ago. I am 80.

Great Classic film that has survived the test of time. In contrast to today, Hollywood is a shadow of its former greatness in film-making.

This brought me so much closer to god as a ten year old child I have never forgotten this movie. Thank you for. Showing it

Thank you so much for the video...I watched this film for the second times, when Christians/Catholics go into holy week before Passover day...🙏✝️🇺🇲🇮🇱🇻🇦

Hugh Griffice always amazes me, what an actor and what a man.😊

Boyd should've won the Oscar for his riveting performance.

This is my ALL TIME favourite film. I'm 66 now and I never tire of watching this movie. Charlton Heston was AWESOME and portraid such an iconic figure and you just felt the passion and love he had for his family. ❤

One of the Best Action Movie ever..I have DVD ..Every person in that movie was born for their acting part...Many Oscar's won.

There were very few actors who was able to pick great roles & Charleston Heston was one of them.

Classic. Even now I still cry watching this movie classic. ✝️ 😇

A very heart touching movie.. one of the best ever with the Ten Commandments.. everybody should stay seat and still watching a movie like this and let God speak to the heart... great actors. God bless all

What a great movie . Classic monumental movie . Great actor brilliant charlton Heston .

One of the greatest movies. Charlton Heaton was a true hero in real life battling Alzheimers.That takes courage

This is a masterpiece of a film which has a very powerful moral message to it and still after almost 65 years never fails to stir strong emotions and sentiments in anyone who watches this. I will turn 60 years old in 2024 and first saw this when I was a youngster in 1969 and it had a strong impression on me even at age 5 as it still does now!!

Imagine four horses pulling a tiny chariot is like flying to death a race of death from Massalas cheating treacherous chariot until he pay the price of his death...Ben Hur was Trully blessed by the Lord because his faith & trust to God was in his whole life long held intact & strong such a legendary remarkably brilliant divine film many thanks indeed for sharing

One of the greatest movies ever made. The first time I saw this movie was when I was in my elementary grades.

Amen. Praise the Lord!

This is far and away the best movie ever made. And after all of that... "I see no enemy..."

Charlton Heston...one of the greatest actors of all time and a great statesman.

Chariots race: A scene like this will never happen again!!

This movie stands the test of time, like Lawrence of Arabia. The chariot race alone is incredible. No CGI, incredible stunts and filming it live. Great story, actors, locations.

A masterpiece of film making... in every possible way.

30:48 Steven Boyd's acting in this scene is brutally good. Heston was great as always.

Ein brilliantes Meisterwerk der Kinogeschichte mit einer riesigen sozialen Botschaft! Mit wunderbarer Filmmusik und ausgezeichneten Schauspielern. Ich spreche meinen tiefen Respekt aus an alle, die mit ihrer Schaffenskraft dieses Epos der Nachwelt hinterlassen haben!

I would love to see this movie in a big screen. I wish they would bring it back into theaters at least once a year.🥰💖🌸 it is one of my favorite movies of all time the musical score by Miklos Roza it’s probably the best musical score ever written.

Majestic, daring, beautifully art directed, stunning in every way. All actors were simply superb. The scenes with the white horses, Judah and the Arab are immaculate.

I count the blessing of having seen this movie on the wide screen, in the end of the 60's, back in Africa. The naval battle and the race scene were glorious! I also saw, Cleopatra, Lawrence of Arabia and Dr Jivago, back there, and is something to remember! What a blessing it was!

Another great movie was Spartacus! One of my favorites!! With Kirk Douglas made in 1960!!!

Ben Hurr Moses and Cleopetraare the best movies of all times to me that the greatest ever an for ever!!!!

No CGI here just plain RAW Talent! Great acting and a superb music score!!! Hail Caesar! 😁😁

Best movie ever filmed.

When movie making was at its peak, pure talent in the director and actors and the film crew, we will not see this era again. One of the absolute best, the only movie made since this one that can stand next to it and to stand the test of time in its scope and as a historical epic was Lawrence of Arabia.

Best movie ever made hands down.

Thank you so much for sharing. this masterpiece . The greatest movie ever made .

This is Hollywood the Golden era of epic movie making, No CGI no special effects the entire film was built on full size sets at immenses cost the actual race, was real using horse chariots what you see in the movie nothing was fake Charlton heston and stephen Boyd learnt how to use a chariot, during the scenes a stuntman was killed and was left in the cut apparently, it was said a 100 horses were killed in the filming of the race, too badly injured and shot by the veterinary. an impossible endeavour to produce on the same scale, in today's world of filmmaking with 10 to 15,000 extras the cost would be stratospheric, but it would a pointless exercises making a remake of this film for what purposes ,? For a start it doesn't have the actors who came from a different era in Hollywood moviemaking to fill the shoes of the original cast , like the two main ""protagonist,", actors like Charlton Heston or Stephen Boyd, the fact is ,it stands alone as the greatest movie ever produced by hollywood and ever will.

Been a long time, and Ben Hur continues to inspire us for generations!#

EXTRAORDINARIA, MONUMENTAL,UNA OBRA DE ARTE Y UN CLASICO DE PELICULA POR LOS SIGLOS DE LOS SIGLOS ...! GANADORA DE 11 PREMIOS DE LA ACADEMIA Y JAMAS SUPERADA. A PESAR QUE HAN TRANSCURRIDO MAS DE 60 AÑOS Y CON TANTA TECNOLOGIA DE AHORA EN LAS PELICULAS DE HOLLYWOOD ,,!BEN HUR ES EL COMIENZO DE LO MAS IMPACTANTE DE LA METRO GOLDWING MEYER COMPANY QUE NUNCA OLVIDAREMOS..! JAMAS ME CANSARE DE VERLA..!! EXTRAORDINARIOS ACTORES Y ACTRICES EN SU MAYORIA YA FALLECIDOS,,! (QEPD). MUCHAS GRACIAS A LA " MGM" POR LA REALIZACION DE ESTA EPICA Y MONUMENTAL PELICULA!!

Completely thrilling, awe inspiring, moving...cinema at its best. Wyler and co directors genius...wonderfully paced...visualized...increases heart rate...rooting for Ben Hur...you are THERE in the arena! The look on Ben Hurs face when he was given news of family by broken Marsala...deserved his Oscar. One would have to have a stone heart or glass eye not to cry during the cathartically healing final scene.

An incredible epic of all time🎉🎉🎉🎉 with legendary actors, RIP😮😮😮😢😢😢😊😊😊

WOW!... a wonderful movie love, hate tyranny, trust, hope courage and so much emotions... Thanks

One of my Favorite .. it’s Amazing how they made this movie , it is SPECTACULAR, considering its made in 1959.. Special effect is EXCEPTIONAL

First time I looked at Ben-Hur awesome movie the greatest I ever seen besides the ten commandments and I wish that others would see this

Golden age of Hollywood!

Yes I agree a classic Big screen movie in theater Big surround sound system❤😂

Charlton Heston was one of my favourite childhood Hoilwood heros.

A classic. One of my favorite movies of all time.

This film adaptation is actually better than the book. It truly is a work of art, and its magnificence is captured in the way they did not try to impose their own interpretation of Christ, even to the point of not showing His face or uttering a word but simply letting His presence tell the story. Although He is largely in the background, the entire story revolves around Him. What a different society we have become since 1959 and we are the worse off for it.

One of THE BEST Movies EVER MADE and will EVER be made !👍💯💥

Beyond Classico and so well written. Everyone is such a good actor, including the horses.

I always thought that Judah seeing Messala after the race and saying, "I see no enemy" was one final chance for them to end any final bad blood. That even for a brief moment, they can return to the way things were when they were younger and the best of friends, before their falling out. Yet Messala still wished to keep fighting and thus attempted to drive another pain of despair towards his former friend.

Ben-hur El-sid, 10 commands, these are the best movie I have ever watched in the Cinema with huge screen and sound just amazing at it's time .50 year ago 😊👌👌

My first movie ever to see in cinema when I was a kid..never had enough..seen it many times, enjoy it every time

no hay filmes que supere a esta pelicula , la banda sonora de miklos rossa impresionante y las imagenes de esta pelicula ni te cuento,,, una belleza que quedara en nuestros recuerdos de quienes la vimos disfrutamos y en ocasiones nos hiso llorar ben hur

The greatest movie ever made.

R.I.P. Charles Heston

William Wyler was once quoted as saying, ''For a movie like 'Ben-Hur,' I guess it takes someone Jewish like me to do it right.'' And indeed, not only was Willie Wyler was an Alsatian Jew, but composer Miklos Rozsa was a Hungarian Jew and producer Sam Zimbalist was a Ukranian Jew. I am sure there are some cynics who will say ''those people'' will do anything for a buck, but look at the reverence of ''Ben-Hur'' or ''Quo Vadis,'' another great Christians/ Romans epic which Zimbalist produced and Rozsa scored. Think also of historic events Christians forced on Jews like the pogroms or the Holocaust. Wyler, Rozsa and Zimbalist were true professionals.

Legendary stunt man Yakima Canutt choreographed the chariot race and his son doubled Heston for the more difficult stunts. The jumping over the wreck didn't go as planned and Canutt though his son was killed. He was fine and they even adjusted the scene to keep it in the movie by having Heston climb back on board.

Yo tenia 16 Anos cuando vi esta pelicula la mas bonita cuando hera adolescent fui a verla con mi hemano mayor exelentes autores que ya no estan con nosotros y que descansan en la Paz de Cristo amen ✌️✌️☦️🛐👑🐑👑🕯🙏🕯🪔🕊🪔🌾🫏👍👍🙅‍♀️🫶🙏🫶ver esta pelicula estos momentos de cuaresma semana snta es un gran momento para verla gracias 🙌💒🙌Jesucristo Cordero de Dios Rey de Reyes

Even in HIS suffering on the cross HE did not condemn us. HE said FATHER forgive them for they know not what they do. This scene of HIS crucifixion always makes me cry❤️❤️❤️
