It IS the Greatest movie of all time!

Absolutely

Amo esta película, la he visto n veces y con mis hijos también la henos visto, y me recuerda cuando de niña la veía con mis padres!

Amen brother you can say that again 🙏 I'm totally with you on that 👍👍😊

He was also in Planet of the Apes, Omega Man and oh yes Soylent Green (It's people).

❤

……not only a superb actor across MANY differing roles’, but also a lovely man, married to his Univ sweetheart Lydia for 64years’…………

Amen to that

Of course very true

Very powerfull scene with awesome performances by every actor.

Part of it was the quality in the mother's (Martha Scott) voice.

Absolutely, I get a lump in my throat on that part, also when Judah lifts his dying sister into his arms. At the very end, when Judah ascends the stairs to embrace his healed and restored mother and sister, along with the glorious accompanying music, I always start weeping tears of joy, just so moved by the power and majesty of the epic I've just witnessed. My favorite movie of all time, without a doubt. It just happend to be right at the beginning on the TV at an important stage of my life, at a time when I needed the message it contains. It has also helped me through some real struggles, and I seem to get something different out of it each time. My wife bought me a nice print of the "The Creation of Adam" portion of the Sistine Chapel, shown in the opening credits for our bedroom wall.

@@TaeeshNENE agree with you it is great movie

Thanks also to the talented cast members.👍

Merci aussi à la métro goldwyn Mayer de nous avoir donné autant de grands moments de cinéma avec les plus grands films de tous les temps, Ben Hur, autant en emporte le vent, le roi des rois et bien d'autres la liste est longue !.

God bless their souls.🙏🙏🙏

Big thank you to the wonderful cast of the film who all made it so memorable. Loved it since first seeing it at the local picture theatre in 1960.

@@charliejohn1 Haya Harareet passed within the last year, so all the main cast members are gone now.

Best movie and musical score ever!

Along with 10 commandments

I absolutely agree!

From a Director, acting, script, and music standpoint, I agree! What a classic!!!!

👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Tout à fait d’accord, Sir!

Com certeza!❤

+alfredo gomez TRUE

+alfredo gomez one of the best?

+alfredo gomez 100% Agreed!

+George Steele OK there can only be one best. Are you happy now?

Absolutely, Epic, Incredibly Phenomenon al Movies and Sound track!!!!!!! (777) Praise God, Praise, Jesus Christ ..♡♡

I love how much he loves his job. 😊 ❤️

Miklos Rosza is in 50~60 years greatest cinema music composer in Holywood BenHur, King of Kings, El cid..

That’s beautiful

The beautiful movie and music all the times

I hear this and I see the film in my mind.

ESSA ORQUESTRA, É O FILME ❤ OUVINDO A MÚSICA, VOCÊ VE O FILME COMPLETO..😊 NÃO FALTA NADA.🌟🤩

He would have sucked at playing Uriah Heep from David Copperfield. Greatest actor of mighty characters, maybe.

One of the longest film scores ever composed, over three hours of music. It should be listened complete, a monumental achievement.

Even more important than the superb music is what the film represents....and what Christ accomplished for us.

@@mikem6251 Mike, Ben Hur is a great story, but a story it is. The Christ story just that, most likely invented by the Romans to counter the messianic aspirations of the Jews. It is impossible to believe the Judeo-Christian story of creation and Ben Hur should be appreciated for the art it is.

@@casualobserver485 Thank you for your comment. With all due respect, it is true that the Ben Hur story/character is fiction, and taken from a novel by Lew Wallace, but the Christian faith is real, and Christ was factually the Messiah, Son of God, and Redeemer of the human race from the sin that had beset it since the fall of Adam and Eve. God has offered us, as a free gift, redemption for our sins through Christ, God Himself made incarnate in human form, and it is up to us to accept and live accordingly. Unfortunately, too many people don't.

fsbirdhouse me too. the most powerful scene in the movie for me and moved me every time I see it

I know this Man He gave me a will to live... what has He done to merit this?...

The actor that played the soldier, was not an actor by trade . William Wyler, just found him around set. Thought he looked the part. Great direction.

YOU!!! I SAID NO WATER FOR HIM!

I'm not a religious person but have to admit that scene floors me every time.

rockafelladw this great Miklos Roza theme from Ben Hur makes me visualize the triumph of good over evil which is so much needed in 2020.

Timeless. A monumental achievement, over three hours of superb music. It should be listened complete. Among the longest film scores ever composed.

Michael McGill ...I know this Man..He gave me a will to live.. what has He done to merit this?...

The encounter between Ben Hur and the Christ is indeed so powerful and most definitely it touches your soul.

Easily the most powerful scene in the entire movie !!!

Loved how the Ben-Hur storyline wrapped around The Tale of the Christ. Through strange twists of Fate...

you are absolutely right the greatest movie of all time. unmatched by any cinematic movie i have seen

If you can you must see Orchestra's in person; way more intense and moving than KZfaq

It was so heart warming to read that someone else was also brought to tears just listening to this classic symphony music. The movie itself remains a true classic even after so many years. Lots of love from the Holy Land.

I'm was crying while reading your post.😥

Saw this epic of a film when I was eleven, went with my mum. Happy times made me cry. X

Only Superman (1978) can come close

It is, for sure!!!

@@miamidolphinsfan Morricone's "Ecstasy of Gold" is right up there too.

You can listen to the whole concert "Hollywood Rhapsody Prom" . Top right in the list.

CDB8939 You may not as it has been removed because of copyright infringement.

jslasher1 The copyright claim probably was for only one or two of the themes performed, which caused the whole video to be banned. For that reason alone it is better to post the numbers separately. I myself had that problem before with a video that at some point contained the Star Wars theme, which I found to be a big no-no.

Too many great film to scores to say this one is unsurpassed. Yes, it's truly excellent, but so are many of Maurice Jarre's compositions for David Lean, Elmer Bernstein's Great Escape and several of John Williams' themes to name but a few . Some film scores are today's classics IMHO.

Hauntingly beautiful, precisely as Love is.

windstorm1000 I wish I could give you 1000 thumb's up...for now I am that man....

Agree, but I also include the score from Spellbound as one of this greatest achievements

And King of Kings

I agree.

Your story is lovely. To have seen (and listened to) the roadshow print of Ben-Hur is a memory you'll keep until your last day. Its unique image quality was achieved by the amazingly sharp MGM Camera 65, which had an enormous size and was equivalent to the SuperPanavision 70mm format popular during the Sixties. The Camera 65 tested successfully on MGMs 'Raintree County' (1957), and therefore the studio decided to use it for Ben-Hur. Such a phenomenal sharpness is best appreciated in the 50th Anniversary Blu-ray Edition (in the Valley of the Lepers first scene diminutive lizards are clearly seen running on the rocks, downwards right). It's worthwhile to check the only available (I believe) image of MGMs Camera 65 on IMDb, took by my mother while on location in Rome. She was an extra, one of the posh Roman ladies seated beside Pilate when Ben-Hur is crowned ''as their God''.

Ben Hur is nothing short of an achievement in storytelling, and I'd argue that saying only christians would like it is a disservice to the movie.

FreshTillDeath56 he’s s newborn Christian. They’re into that kind of thing.

Yes Jesus gave us Living Water!! The world cannot give that!

Blessings from the Lord

Wow!
