    It's worth it to see him wearing a watch before they were even invented!

    Wrist watches were invented ~1900. That film was shot in ~1958.

    "Drink up, Judah Ben-Hur!"

    "You truly are the king of kings!"

    "Excellent!!"

    It's literally an epic. That's why it's 4 hours long.

    It's amazingly good. Proper popcorn and beer type stuff.

    I wouldn't consider it a riveting watch tbh but it is an iconic film.

    I'd go with "Lawrence of Arabia" every time in the epic classic film choice battle.

    Boobs often lead to 'explosions' ;)

    Doing a remake in Cavan called Ben the Cute Hoor. It's less chariots and more politics

    I watched it on Stephen's Day (I think) very hungover and it was great. Really long, but you could kind of switch off and fall asleep and then wake up and get back in to it.

    We didn't create the Film forum for nothing.
    Find it, use it.
