Greatest movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2011)

I was 15 when i first saw this movie in a theater and was simply blown away by it.Since then i have seen it at least 5 times and i will probably see it 5 more times.When it came out on Blu ray(50th anniversary)i just had to have it(again).It looks amazing in high definition.This is a movie that was shot on a grand scale.Back than there were no computer generated images,just real actors and extras.And Charlton Heston was brilliant in the role as Ben Hur.He made it his own.I simply can not imagine any other actor doing it better.And i know there were other actors considered for the role.Also, i read somewhere that it took 3 months to prepare the stage for the chariot race.I don't think they make movies like that anymore.This movie deserves much higher rating on IMDb.But i think its mainly cause the younger generation don't know much about it or can't be bothered to see older movies.It would be interesting to see another remake of it in the near future. So if you haven't seen it,please do so.It is very long,but is worth every minute.you won't notice the time.The greatest movie ever made.
