Bought For the 1925 Version
Although the 1959 version is a wonderful classic, the 1925 Silent version with Ramon Novarro is superior in every way: it is an astounding work of art. And this 4 disc box set includes the best quality print available for this rare title. Avoid that Korean DVD if you want the Silent Film of Ben Hur, you can find it here..

Review of the DVD set
There are plenty of features in the 4-disk version; from actor commentary to commentary about the famous scene in the chariot race where Ben-Hur flips over the chariot. I have not seen disc 3, the original Ben-Hur, but what I love about this set is that you can see the film almost as it was intended to be seen, with the music for the overture and the intermission. All you need is the CinemaScope screen and a tub of popcorn.

I saw this movie in theaters when I was 9 years old. Ben Hur for me was not about ole Ben and his family but this film led me to Our Lord Jesus Chris

One of the best films ever!
What can I say? THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE! This is one of those Biblical epics that many call one of the best films ever made and with good reason. Heston at his oscar winning best, Boyd as the classic villain, and the backdrop being the advent of the Christ. The chariot race alone is worth the price of admission to this spectacular telling of Lew Wallace's beloved novel. So much to experience in this movie I can't possibly put it all in this review. A must see for fans of epic cinema!

Ben-Hur is best in this DVD version. The Blu-ray version's picture is too dark and some important details are almost totally lost in the darkness. If
Ben-Hur is best in this DVD version. The Blu-ray version's picture is too dark and some important details are almost totally lost in the darkness. If you want to enjoy the glorious visual drama of this movie, I recommend this DVD version.

Ben-Hur A+
One of the best movies ever made. The story is deep, the character's engaging, and the themes about hope, salvation, and faith is tearful.

It's ok
It's a good movie but it's not the directors cut which includes Juda Ben Hurs Horse and Chariots racing scenes after the rescue from the war ships battle.
