I have begun my epic journey through AFI's top 100 films, with an "epic" for it's time... BEN-HUR. I say for "it's time" only because it is 51 yrs old. I remember watching it for the first time when I was about 12 yrs of age with my Grandmother Malloy, her favorite I might add. I am glad I chose to watch it again, because the only part I ever recalled was the chariot race.. which was before "special effects". long movie? yes, but considering this 3h 22min movie only covered 5 to 7 years of Judah Ben-Hur's life, it was well worth my time. I wanted this to be "MY" own opinion, and was hoping it would be different than everyone else's critique... but it's not much different, Ben-Hur is a classic film! A well told story with mediocre acting.Out of 12 farm fresh eggs... I give it a half dozen. Enjoy!
