ONE GIRL'S ATTEMPT TO WATCH AND REVIEW ALL OF THE MOVIES THAT HAVE EVER WON THE ACADEMY AWARD FOR BEST PICTURE

Ben Hur 1959
My Quick Thoughts: I was dreading having to watch this movie. I didn’t think I would like it at all; however, I did end up enjoying it. The four hour length is something I could have done without, but you can see why this movie is considered an epic. Any movie that starts with an overture has got to be big. I was never a fan of Charlton Heston as a person, but I didn’t mind him in this movie. If a person I detest can make me root for him in a movie you know that is talent. I will probably never watch this movie again due to its length, but I can see why it is such a classic.
Favorite Quote: "Hate keeps a man alive. It gives him strength."
Overall Rating: C (it would have been higher if the movie was shorter or I had a longer attention span)
What I Was Doing That Year: Wasn't born yet :)
Favorite Movie From That Same Year: Sleeping Beauty
