William Wyler's Epic Masterpiece BEN-HUR!

This Is The 3rd Big Screen Installment From Lew Wallace's Best-Seller, Ben-Hur (The First Was A Silent One-Reel Play In 1907, The Second Was In 1925 And The 3rd In 1959, Arugably The Best Installment So Far)!

How I became a cinephile (50 movies items)

" Maybe the first historical epic I ever saw. The Roman legions, slavery and horse races in the same package. So thrilling experience for a nine year old kid. Ben-Hur is one of the reasons why I became interested in history. "
