1959 version is the best.

They had the Asimov/Yellow Submarine font back in 1907?

I've seen a lot of movies - this has to be one of the earliest. I'm listening to Ben-Hur on the librivox audio site. What a powerful historical novel that has been repeatedly made into films - and influenced how milllions viewed Ancient Rome. It's not great literature, but....what a story!

This is ooold o.o

its funny now the Palestinians are Ben hur (being persecuted ) and the Jews are the romans eg bulldozing houses

@Lufttygger306 Instead of being so rude,maybe you should just go quietly elsewhere
napabar,I'd like to say thank you for making this 104 yr.old film available for silent film fans,like myself,to watch.
Also,some people(who are not idiots)will understand why this movie isn't exactly in great shape.I think it 's a sign of the times...they did the best with what they had at the time.

If you think this version is crazy you should watch the 1876 film. The chariot race in that one took 3 months to film, 3200 people died, even extras and directors, and it cost $45,000 (2 trillion in today's dollars).

@Lufttygger306 I guess you meant this one - watch?v=LlhNxHfyWTU thought you meant an earlier version of ben-hur first xD anywayz nice vid, maybe it was the inspiration to lassie?
I've seen a movie from 1905 that is better than this... You almost cant see whats going on in this shit! I hate it!

The 1925 version is better...

Celluloid was in it's infancy in 1907. Comparing this to a 1925 movie is like comparing a Apple II to a iMac.
