There were 11 Oscars won in all - still the most ever, sharing honors with Titanic (1997) and The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King (2003). The other Oscars won by Ben-Hur were Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography for a Color Film, Best Art Direction-Set Direction for a Color Film, Best Costume Design for a Color Film, Best Effects-Special Effects, Best Film Editing, Best Music-Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture, and Best Sound. The only one it was nominated for that it didn't win was Best Writing-Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium
It has been estimated that to reproduce Ben-Hur as it was produced in 1959, it would cost over a quarter of a billion dollars. That just isn't going to happen. And CGI won't cut it. You can't reproduce a live chariot race like the one in Ben-Hur in CGI and catch anyone's breath. So, this is a classic that will live as long as films are made. And, in my opinion, beyond that.Ben-Hur is a film which still somewhat defies television in all its formats - the cinema is really the place to see this, the bigger the screen, the better. The rowing scene and the chariot race were edited almost flawlessly. And the other aspects were awesome too.This film has conflict, tragedy, victory, revenge, humour, belief, love and more in it. All of these made up the immortal masterpiece.At the time, this was the biggest and most expensive film ever made, with thousands of actors, massive scale replicas of roman colleseums and triremes, and beautiful costumes and art. The movie itself is rather long, but the plot and dialog is nice and thick throughout and will keep the audiance entertained. This film is noteworthy for saving MGM studios from bankruptcy and for catapulting Charleton Heston to stardom.
