I Love Great Movie Scenes

Just watched my favorite movie scene ever from Ben Hur 1959.

Judah Ben Hur races Messala in the Roman Chariot race. The four White Arabian horses vs. the four black horses. The white Arabians were so important to the plot that each one was introduced by name and personality.

Messala played dirty with his chariot wheels having spokes that cut the competition's wheels and left them to die from the ensuing fall of the chariot.

Poetic justice when Messala falls from his own devices.
Christmas and the old movies, a good time!

Fantastic Movie

There was so much incredible detail in the action. They said another director took over for all of the stunts involved and even did the stunt when Ben Hur was almost flipped by a fallen chariot before him. I saw King of kings right after!

@Pfuzylogic: They made a new Ben-Hur movie...I havent seen it but curious how it compares to the older version

@Rain-Bisou: I am with you on that.
I must be turning "old school" because the last remake I saw like that called "Exodus" I didn't like as much as the "10 Commandments" that starred Charlton Heston.
