One of the greatest movies ever made

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 1999)

BEN-HUR of 1959 with Charlton Heston and Stephen Boyd, is one of the greatest movies ever made. There are few films which truly rival it's spectacle and spirit. As well as being one of the best movies ever, it also contains two classic cinema scenes; the slave gallery and the chariot scene. Heston (the title character) and Boyd (as his poisoned, one-time friend) are outstanding in one of cinema's legends.
