Since I'm such an OCD type person I want to say that I LOVE the Charleston Heston version of Ben Hur but it was actually not the original version of this movie. There were 2 silent versions made, one I remember seeing. And they're pretty good considering the time. Nope, I'm not over 100 years old😄😄. I just love movies including the silent ones. I had heard this version is junk but I had planned on NOT seeing it anyway. I think the movie studios just don't know how to make original movies sometimes as there seem to be lots of remakes - most are not good. Personally, I get a real hoot out of the animated movies. I'm usually the only adult without a child in the theater. And these are the ones I purchase for my grandchildren - which I do not have - waiting for my son to find a wide and "cooperste😄😄😄. OK they are for me.
