Have you seen it yet, Irish? It's excellent. Let me know what you thought of it once you get around to it. [/b][/quote]Here's my review of it from July 30th (I usually don't buy movies unless I've seen them before)

Ben-Hur #72 on the AFI Top 100 List

I had always wanted to see this movie but never made time to see it. It was rather long but it was great! Another Charlton Heston classic to go along with The Ten Commandments (which I believe are the only 2 Charlton Heston movies that I've seen). He put together another great and memorable performance as Judah. I'll probably be getting the 4-disc set when it's releaseed in September and I still need to get The Ten Commandments
