Review of Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1925) by Tom K — 17 Jul 2007

There's something about the 1925 silent version that moves me far more than the 1959 award-winning remake (with Charlton Heston, no less). Granted, a few of the acting performances are a bit wilted, but, overall, I care more about this group of characters; whereas I'm never really caring about the '59 characters.

If you choose to own a silent classic, this would be one of the ones to have. The chariot race is quite spectacular, too!
