James,
Indeed you are.
I'd have to go with "The Greatest Story Ever Told." It's an awesome movie that never gets old. And every time I picture Jesus he looks like Max.
I like all four of them. Sierra is right, The Greatest Story Every Told is a great movie to watch. Well directed. I like the Chariot race in Ben Hur, that was the highlight. Kirk Douglas was fantastic in Spartacus.
Sierra,
I have the same thought about thinking of Jesus looking like Max. Funny.
cgull8m,
That chariot race was something, wasn't it?
I guess older movies are much nicer to watch.I have seen The Ten Commandments.Great collection.
Abhinaya,
Thanks for your nice comment.
