God exists, creation bears witness to it, but sin separates us from Him, and we sin, and deserve the hell, that is why He sent His Son Christ to live a Holy life, die on a Cross paying the penalty for our sins, saving His chosen ones of condemnation, dark powers and curses, reconciling us with God only by Faith in Jesus and His Sacrifice, *not by works,* so that no one can boast, Giving us Eternal Life, God bless you. Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit
i have the whole set i saw the drawings that charlton made and charlton is my friend although i never meet him he is always in my thoughts and i can never forget him
James Brincefield Yeah I can say the same thing my friend! I just don't get the point why remake a movie that has 11 Oscars already...Just respect the legacy and the epicness of it! I don't get Hollywood sometimes...
+James Brincefield Haha totally agree with you on that! Sometimes I think hollywood is like youtube....RUclipsrs try to make these "prank" videos or "social experiments" in order to get money....And other people just recycle them and recycle all over again...With Hollywood is the exact same thing....They think their movie will be successful and that it would like top in box office...But eventually it would simply not....Just for example, Gods of Egypt....God was shiitt film!!
jordanrb1996 why not. it's considered one of the greatest silent movies ever made. why did it need remaking in 1959. it has 100% on RT. Canaan B doubt you have even seen the silent film.

I've watched it about few times I think. It's a very long film but it's still worth watching. It's absolutely brilliant. The acting is fantastic especially from Charlton Heston himself. It's probably one of the best 1950s films of all time. It never gets old and it will always be a timeless classic. I have it on DVD 📀 by the way.
It's worth getting it on blu ray if you can. I think its the greatest film of the 1950s, it's technically so advanced and influenced so many future directors. It's such a wonderful journey too that the character goes on.
the 2016 movie is a WASTE!. even Exodus Gods and Kings is also no use when compared to Ben Hur and The Ten Commandments! I became an instant fan of Miklos Rozsa and the AMAZING Background score in this movie. I still hear the background score! This is one movie which me and my father LOVE watching again and again! I CRY everytime I see Charlton Heston's performance in this movie as well as Miklos Rosza's music!!
Fun fact: the novel Ben Hur was written by an atheist (who found God halfway through writing it), and who was also the man who put the price on Billy the Kid
In school days Ben Hur was one of my best movie. No other Historical Movie can be compared with this one. I have seen many times my favourite Actors were Charlton Heston and Stephen Boyd. A multi wrote Magnum movie. From Muni Prasad.
General Lew Wallace (the author of Ben-Hur) also fought an expert delaying action at Monocacy Creek against Confederate General Jubal Early's advance on Washington DC in 1864. It gave the city time to prepare for the attack and for General Grant to rush re-enforcements. A fine bit of soldiering.
This one was the greatest epic of all time in movies. This shouldn't have remaked. They will never get Charlton Heston to do that role again. He's born for that role. Look at the power in his eyes.......
My uncle was really pissed that a new ben hur came out in cinema because for him there is only one ben hur masterpiece, this one. To be honest, I didn't even know this movie existed as I'm very young. Needless to say, I'm gonna get to see this one asap. 11 oscars !! It might be worth seeing.
+Abbin Joseph me.. Thankyou. I am a refugee among my proper peoples. Lets also not forget however that this version was also a remake. The original was released in 1926. The 1959 version is a remake.. So yes this new 2016 version is indeed a remake of a remake. sigh. MGM just stop please.
I truly hope your mind will change. He loves you so freaking much. The Bible says that one day…every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is lord and savior. On that day….even if people chose not to love Him in return…they will still bow. But it will be too late. The scariest/saddest verse in the Bible is when God looks at the ones who refused to accept His love and says “Depart from me, I never knew you” People often say “how could a loving God send someone to hell?” . He doesn’t. He doesn’t send people to hell, they send themselves. He makes it clear that if you confess with your mouth of Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart, God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. You’ll spend eternity with him. And it’s gonna be so freaking amazing. the beauty and glory of heaven and all its colors and sound and light and peace and joy, without a trace of fear or sadness….. going on picnics and swimming and worshiping and hanging out with friends and family! And oh my goodness, the mountains and trees and rivers and seeing earth, how it was intended to be! No trace of sadness no trace of pain, just love and joy, forever and ever. We get to explore everything he created. I can’t wait to go on hikes and float down a beautiful river…not worrying about bugs or animals or weather! I can’t wait to taste all the incredible foods and listen to the amazing music! I can’t wait to meet all the men and women from the Bible! I can’t wait to see my grandparents! But most of all….I’m looking forward to hugging 2 people and not letting go for years. The first is Jesus. Oh my goodness I can’t imagine how that will feel! The second is my daughter who went to heaven in 2014 when she was 9. Jesus is coming soon and I’m SO EXCITED! Heaven is the most incredible amazing unfathomable place, and I get to stay there for eternity! All those who believe that Jesus died for their sins and ask for forgiveness and love him…will spend forever with him! He asks nothing of us except for us to return his love. But, he does not force people to love him. It’s their choice and some people choose not to. He did not make robots. He made man with a free will to choose his own destiny. And for those who turn their back on him, for those that choose the world and all the temporary earthly crap….for those who are too angry or stubborn or full of pride and choose not to love him back for whatever reason, will not spend eternity in heaven with him. Instead, they will spend eternity doing exactly what they wanted, which was to be away from God. They will be away from their creator like they wanted , and they will spend eternity in agony and regret and fear and pain all because they refused to believe the only truth that matters I pray you change your mind and fall in love with Jesus because he’s already in love with you. He loved you first.
Ok everyone! to clarify this version of Ben-Hur is a remake as well!! the original I believe, is black and white and silent. Just wanting to let you know that, however, I still consider this version waaaay better than the 2016 remake that we clearly didn't need
Just me or do these older films have some amazing video quality? I look at these and then look at movies now, starting to think what we have now is films jam packed with special effects that nothing looks real.
Ben-hur was shot on 65mm stock. There's no way to match the vibrancy of 65 with digital. I've actually worked with and seen 65mm stock and negative along with 15 perf 70mm imax print. They're absolutely amazing. Too bad film is nearly extinct.
Tate Hildyard I would definitely not say a lot, and definitely not the biggest movies. However, yes, there are still movies shot on real film. I believe Dunkirk was shot on 65mm. I'm no longer in the film industry, but my father lives and breathes it. He would know more than I do with which movies were shot on film stock.
+Phillip Arpin Film has been making a comeback. Filming movies digitally was a trend from the 2000's, but that seems to be dying off since the quality of many movies filmed digitally 15 years ago are stuck at a resolution of 1080p which is a problem now that 4K is becoming the new big thing. Star Wars The Force Awakens, Mad Max Fury Road, and all of Christopher Nolan's films were filmed using actual film.
Crazy that this is a 50's movie. Granted, it was a late 50's movie and looks more like a 60's movie, but 50's nonetheless. It doesn't even look like a 50's or 60s movie. It looks more like a 70's movie AT LEAST but more like an 80's film. It held up pretty well and looked unbelievable for its time, and even now. Really a cinematic breakthrough, IMO.
Saw it on the big screen, and I'll tell you, it holds up beautifully. The sea battle scenes are slightly dated with the model work, but are still exciting because of the human drama. Easy to overlook. The rest of it is just glorious. The chariot race is unlike any action sequence I've ever seen in a theater. Extraordinarily intense.
Wow. Someone who saw it on the big screen thinks that it held up as well. Even by today's standards, this film still looks great and barely any of it looks dated. And trust me it looks even better on Blu-Ray. The chariot race was incredibly glorious and like you said, it has held up beautifully, even by today's standards. It definitely compares with today's movies and I think that it is insane that a movie from the 50's looks like a big-budget Hollywood action film. It is also crazy that some more recent 80's movies are cheesy and didn't really hold up, while some from the 50's has held up really well. That's why it is such a classic.
Totally agree, compare to a film like Quo Vadis, in Ben Hur they really toned down the super bright lighting you normally get in these epics. Some of the night scenes specially lit with just the minimal lighting on the character of Esther has influenced so many directors first since. The chariot race is also a masterpiece of editing, stuntwork and cinematography.
Willian Wyler's greatest masterpiece, based on a great novel by Lew Wallace and extraordinary screenplay by Karl Tunberg and of course brilliant lifetime performances by Charlton Heston, Jack Hawkins and Stephen Boyd. Hollywood has all the money today but sadly not such passionate craftsmen and visionaries to make such inspiring movies. Its the magic we should have aspire to bring back to the movies!
This film is much more than magic. It is a film that is God honoring. It is as though God has personally rubber stamped it as being one of His favorites!!!!!!
the 2016 movie is a WASTE!. even Exodus Gods and Kings is also no use when compared to Ben Hur and The Ten Commandments! I became an instant fan of Miklos Rozsa and the AMAZING Background score in this movie. I still hear the background score! This is one movie which me and my father LOVE watching again and again! I CRY everytime I see Charlton Heston's performance in this movie as well as Miklos Rosza's music!!
Будто на машине времени попал в прошлое. Сегодня посмотрел этот фильм. Как раньше снимали хорошо. Без зелёного фона и компьютерной графики. Декорации, пейзажи, костюмы. Это настоящее искусство.
My top three films of all time: Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Exodus: Gods and Kings wasn't too bad, I haven't seen the 2016 version of Ben-Hur, but I knew it wouldn't top a true classic 🙂
I had to watch this trailer to wash the travesty of CGI mediocrity of the new 2016 trailer from my eyes. Still one of my favorite movies of all time and the very definition of epic!
The music is not correct.... But this is clearly edited as if it's a modern film Trailer and modern movie trailers rarely have music from the movie's OST. So I disagree with the other commentators, I liked it alot. It's a trailer, it's not meant to have the exact music from the film. It's meant to tease you into watching the film then getting to hear the movie's score.
I watch this classic movie every december. It makes my faith in Jesus stronger and brings me memories of my beloved father, who watched this movie when he was a kid.
This was the best movie ever..That remake was nothing like 1959 Ben Hur, even the speaking in different scene nothing like the original..I have the original I need a new one..
We watched this movie for children's Film Festival in Hyderabad. Our uncle who was an I. A. S officer gave us two seater pass V. I. P. Passes. . So my elder brother and me watched it n went back.
Love it or loathe it, this a Hollywood Bible epic at its most epic biblical and Hollywood; Vast, sprawling, opulent, dramatic, apocalyptic, over acted and over-the-top. Magnificent
I may not be religious, but this was amazing to watch for the first time, and no, I never saw the remake. Also, watching this the day after watching The Greatest Story Ever Told almost felt like watching similar events unfold but through someone else's point of view. I kept imagining Max von Sydow as Jesus.
I love this biblical classic based on General Lew Wallace timeless novel Ben Hour A Tale Of The Christ, I have the blu-ray collection of Ben Hur A Tale Of The Christ with Charlton Heston and I the first film won 11 Academy Awards before Titanic 1997:-) Do any of you have this too?
Good joke. I went and watched the remake with my gf the other night and then we came home and watched this old one and the remake absolutely SHITS all over this cheesy, cardboard acting garbage old movie. No offense, but stop trying to be part of the "cool nostalgia club"; the 1959 one was really bad by today's standards.
One of the best movies I've ever seen; thoroughly deserved all the Oscars it won!
God exists, creation bears witness to it, but sin separates us from Him, and we sin, and deserve the hell, that is why He sent His Son Christ to live a Holy life, die on a Cross paying the penalty for our sins, saving His chosen ones of condemnation, dark powers and curses, reconciling us with God only by Faith in Jesus and His Sacrifice, *not by works,* so that no one can boast, Giving us Eternal Life, God bless you. Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit
i have the whole set i saw the drawings that charlton made and charlton is my friend although i never meet him he is always in my thoughts and i can never forget him
Yes it's both technically brilliant but also the story is utterly compelling.
greatest movie ever and not a one curse or nude scene only great acting, great story, great emotion...... great Hollywood
+James Brincefield 11 Oscars for 1959 Ben-Hur....11 Razzies for 2016 Ben-Hur
James Brincefield Yeah for sure!
James Brincefield Yeah I can say the same thing my friend! I just don't get the point why remake a movie that has 11 Oscars already...Just respect the legacy and the epicness of it! I don't get Hollywood sometimes...
+James Brincefield Haha totally agree with you on that!

James Brincefield Yep agreed!
There is only one. You hear that, remake? THERE IS ONLY ONE.
+Canaan B no there isn't because this is a fucking remake.
+8th wonder of the world
this is a remake of a silent movie, that does;t reallyy count
True, but it,s better than the silent one. The new one won't do either version justice.
jordanrb1996 why not. it's considered one of the greatest silent movies ever made. why did it need remaking in 1959. it has 100% on RT.
Canaan B doubt you have even seen the silent film.
+8th wonder of the world you are right
Timeless masterpiece.

What makes it so good is that it honors God!!!
One of the best story ever written.
"Ben-Hur" has always been my most favorite movie of Legendary Charlton Heston movie.
the 2016 movie is a WASTE!. even Exodus Gods and Kings is also no use when compared to Ben Hur and The Ten Commandments! I became an instant fan of Miklos Rozsa and the AMAZING Background score in this movie. I still hear the background score! This is one movie which me and my father LOVE watching again and again! I CRY everytime I see Charlton Heston's performance in this movie as well as Miklos Rosza's music!!
Agree 100% !!
1959 and the video quality is remarkable.
It was filmed in 70mm film, and that is the analogue equivalent of 8K digital resolution.
Every single thing about this movie is insanely satisfying I tell you that
Fun fact: the novel Ben Hur was written by an atheist (who found God halfway through writing it), and who was also the man who put the price on Billy the Kid
Wow

@@wayneantoniazzi2706 I still resent both of them, don't worry. We are monsters.
He was a rotten freemason
11 Oscars for 1959 Ben-Hur....11 Razzies for 2016 Ben-Hur
🤣
"BEN-HUR"..............................YOU CANNOT BEAT THIS MOVIE !!!
This one was the greatest epic of all time in movies. This shouldn't have remaked. They will never get Charlton Heston to do that role again. He's born for that role. Look at the power in his eyes.......
It was absolutely made for Charleton Heston. If fits like a glove!!!
The may have been two before, there may be one after, but there is ONLY ONE MASTERPIECE!
One of my favorite movies of all time... enough said!
Best version of Ben Hur a classic movie
R.I.P. Charlton Heston
He was a wonderful man.
My uncle was really pissed that a new ben hur came out in cinema because for him there is only one ben hur masterpiece, this one. To be honest, I didn't even know this movie existed as I'm very young. Needless to say, I'm gonna get to see this one asap. 11 oscars !! It might be worth seeing.
Have you seen it yet my friend? I try to watch it around Easter
I’ve seen this movie a million time when I was 9 , it’s a classic and there is only one BEN-HUR .love this movie.Charlton Heston the best
How many of you came here just to forget that crappy remake trailer?
+Abbin Joseph Eeexactly.
You had better believe I did! And I own a copy. But I will most definitely get this Blu-ray Edition
The Chariot race was an added bonus for me...I love the spiritual undertones of the original. A story of faith and forgiveness.
I did.
+Abbin Joseph me.. Thankyou. I am a refugee among my proper peoples. Lets also not forget however that this version was also a remake. The original was released in 1926. The 1959 version is a remake.. So yes this new 2016 version is indeed a remake of a remake. sigh. MGM just stop please.
Charlton's acting with charisma was second to none..
My favourite movie -- loved Stephen Boyd!
Let the0 Original be as. it is!! The un beatabl.
I have the DVD at home. I saw this movie when I was a child and I must have seen this movie well over 50 times.
I never was and never will be Christian... but I love so much this movie! ❤️
I pray the Lord will convict and humble you and you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior. God bless.
I truly hope your mind will change. He loves you so freaking much. The Bible says that one day…every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is lord and savior. On that day….even if people chose not to love Him in return…they will still bow. But it will be too late.

Your loss!!!
in the end this is just a movie, but God is real ❤️🤗
One of the best films ever made!!! Why is there a remake no one asked for???
To give some people some work, I guess.
It's called a money grab
May be it's for the new generation to see it....
Ok everyone! to clarify this version of Ben-Hur is a remake as well!! the original I believe, is black and white and silent. Just wanting to let you know that, however, I still consider this version waaaay better than the 2016 remake that we clearly didn't need
there is 1907 version and then a 1925 remake then this one and then 2016 version
and 2003 and 2010 for tv
Just me or do these older films have some amazing video quality? I look at these and then look at movies now, starting to think what we have now is films jam packed with special effects that nothing looks real.
AG Moyer Well that and the technicolor processing gives it a great visual richness that modern computers have helped restore.
Ben-hur was shot on 65mm stock. There's no way to match the vibrancy of 65 with digital. I've actually worked with and seen 65mm stock and negative along with 15 perf 70mm imax print. They're absolutely amazing. Too bad film is nearly extinct.
I wouldn't say that. A lot of big Hollywood movies are still shot on 35 mm.
Tate Hildyard
I would definitely not say a lot, and definitely not the biggest movies. However, yes, there are still movies shot on real film. I believe Dunkirk was shot on 65mm. I'm no longer in the film industry, but my father lives and breathes it. He would know more than I do with which movies were shot on film stock.

Some of the night scenes specially lit with just the minimal lighting on the character of Esther has influenced so many directors first since. The chariot race is also a masterpiece of editing, stuntwork and cinematography.
One of my favorite movies ever!
Great classic! Never overpast!!
the original BenHur was the best
actors imagy sets locations and depiction of the story like no other :Charlton Heston was epic n his role
Willian Wyler's greatest masterpiece, based on a great novel by Lew Wallace and extraordinary screenplay by Karl Tunberg and of course brilliant lifetime performances by Charlton Heston, Jack Hawkins and Stephen Boyd. Hollywood has all the money today but sadly not such passionate craftsmen and visionaries to make such inspiring movies. Its the magic we should have aspire to bring back to the movies!
This film is much more than magic. It is a film that is God honoring. It is as though God has personally rubber stamped it as being one of His favorites!!!!!!
I freaking loved this movie when I watched it the first time
Greatest move for ever.
“What is your name, 41?”
Me: Mom i want Ben Hur (1959)
Mom: we already have Ben hur at home
Ben Hur at home: Ben Hur (2016)
the 2016 movie is a WASTE!. even Exodus Gods and Kings is also no use when compared to Ben Hur and The Ten Commandments! I became an instant fan of Miklos Rozsa and the AMAZING Background score in this movie. I still hear the background score! This is one movie which me and my father LOVE watching again and again! I CRY everytime I see Charlton Heston's performance in this movie as well as Miklos Rosza's music!!
Un de ces films pour toutes les générations, toujours. Hier, aujourd'hui et demain
Evergreen and Heartouching movie all time..
This movie is a timeless classic ❤
Beautiful film
classic .one of the best epics ever.
Wow i watch this movie and i no idea its for 1959 i thought its from the 1980s
Take THIS, new version of 2016!
The only one greatest masterpiece.
My All time favorite movie wonderful superb great. Charlton Heston
Please telecast this movie in television this is really the under rated movie in world cinema
NOTHING IS CGI I don’t think anyone understands how truly IMPRESSIVE THAT IS
Будто на машине времени попал в прошлое. Сегодня посмотрел этот фильм. Как раньше снимали хорошо. Без зелёного фона и компьютерной графики. Декорации, пейзажи, костюмы. Это настоящее искусство.
one of my all-time favorite movies
My top three films of all time: Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Exodus: Gods and Kings wasn't too bad, I haven't seen the 2016 version of Ben-Hur, but I knew it wouldn't top a true classic 🙂
It is a movie that has heart and soul. After seeing it, you get the sense that you are a better person for having watched it!!!
Still a great film
After seeing the remake trailer I came straight here.. gonna buy the original and forget I ever saw the remake trailer.
Greatest movie ever
Great cinema.
I had to watch this trailer to wash the travesty of CGI mediocrity of the new 2016 trailer from my eyes. Still one of my favorite movies of all time and the very definition of epic!
this is BEN HUR!!!!

The race starts not with a gun but with the drop of a square of cloth . . 0:12
Best movie ever, better than today's modern movie.
I heard, it's a classic!
So excited for tomorrow to going to see this film in theaters.
I can't believe I've never seen this film before. Now im curious. Need to watch it!!!
I watch this trailer many times than the remake version haha...
We watched this movie for children's Film Festival in Hyderabad. Our uncle who was an I. A. S officer gave us two seater pass V. I. P. Passes. . So my elder brother and me watched it n went back.
Love it or loathe it, this a Hollywood Bible epic at its most epic biblical and Hollywood; Vast, sprawling, opulent, dramatic, apocalyptic, over acted and over-the-top. Magnificent
It is also a dumb statement. Miracles are happening in and around us constantly. I challenge you to open your eyes and see the intricacy of nature.
All time blockbusters superhitz world best movie..Juda BenHur..

Great Masterpiece Classic Gem Ever Made 👏👍👌
I may not be religious, but this was amazing to watch for the first time, and no, I never saw the remake. Also, watching this the day after watching The Greatest Story Ever Told almost felt like watching similar events unfold but through someone else's point of view. I kept imagining Max von Sydow as Jesus.
This is the most modern 60s film i have ever seen
So much better than Titanic!!!
Greetings from Mexico.
The scene where the boat sinks was a really scary and disturbing scene fore me as a child.

I love this biblical classic based on General Lew Wallace timeless novel Ben Hour A Tale Of The Christ, I have the blu-ray collection of Ben Hur A Tale Of The Christ with Charlton Heston and I the first film won 11 Academy Awards before Titanic 1997:-)
Do any of you have this too?
Richard Zenteno I have pink floyd lp-what about you?
Yes, I too own the Blu-Ray edition of this great film; also, Peter Jackson's Return of the King also won 11 Oscars in 2003.
I was one of those who came here to forget that 2016 remake crap, one single scene of this epic would make the new versión cry ashamed
Good joke. I went and watched the remake with my gf the other night and then we came home and watched this old one and the remake absolutely SHITS all over this cheesy, cardboard acting garbage old movie.
No offense, but stop trying to be part of the "cool nostalgia club"; the 1959 one was really bad by today's standards.
lmao you and your girl are braindead
