    Ask anyone what's the movie of a roman slave that gets the opportunity to battle against his roman disaffection in the arena, and they will all say Gladiator. No, it's BEN-HUR! Epic, historical, classic hollywood! 12 years 8 months ago

    Epic movie, great acting. Being not a religious person I didn't like the ending though. 12 years 11 months ago
