Ben-Hur, the Original Period Epic

Some sad news came in over the weekend for you movie buffs out there: Charlton Heston passed away. Yes, the square jawed movie star of lore and NRA president lived a long and fruitful life, so why not celebrate it with one of his absolute classics, Ben-Hur?

This special edition DVD of the 1957 classic comes with a whopping four discs of content, featuring more special features than you could possibly handle and ensuring that even the biggest Heston and Ben-Hur fans are kept entertained for hours and hours. In addition to the special features, you of course get the original film, winner of the 1959 Oscar for best actor (for Heston, naturally), cinematography, director, score, picture and supporting actor, in all of it’s epic glory. You’ll be able to watch it again and again, whenever you want. Just because Charlton is gone doesn’t mean you can’t appreciate the man’s work for years to come.
