No doubt about it: "Ten Commandments" is the all-time champ. Also one of the few epics that the studios treated with reverence: they always preserved excellent masters, so all of the rereleases are of excellent quality (the Blu Ray is outstanding).

Other biblical epics haven't held up as well. "The Robe" was halfway decent. "Sampson and Delilah" is entertaining for its cheesiness.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
