Editor's Note

No collection of "Top Christian Movies of All Time" is complete without Ben Hur. This is without question one of the grandest and most spectacular movies of all time — not just a great Christian movie, but an iconic movie no matter what genre or classification it is being compared to. I remember watching this movie as a young child, and as I grew older, despite modern movies evolving further and further with CGI and visual effects, Ben Hur has aged remarkably, and the 1959 film is still the best adaptation by far. The sets are spectacular, from massive scale ocean ship battles to the final chariot race set in a life-size stadium. This movie hearkens back to an age when the Hollywood blockbuster was something truly worth everyone flocking to see, and whether you are a traditional/classic movie fan or not, you need to do yourself a favor and watch this movie.
