Req, is this one of the guys who won't give Jesse James a shot because he knows the ending?
Ben Hur-8.5/10 - So long. Great movie, but dated. What I mean by that is that every generation has some image of what they think the Roman empire should look and sound like. Imparting the 1959 look and dialogue to it is something to get over at first, but the story and the characters hold up. But as good as this was, If I'm going to watch a "classic," I'd rather watch something that was filmed in the time rather than a historical work.
