- Lines: 14

- I saw it about a year ago on PBS (or somesuch) and thought it was excellent.
- The chariot race was particularly exciting, when you consider when it was
- made and the kind of technology they had to work with. It's definitely worth
- watching. The ONLY reason I made a point of watching it is because Ben Hur
- is my second favorite movie of all time, I've probably watched it over 100
- times and know every line of dialogue. The last point is why I would not
- watch the silent version again:
-
- "You can't treat my horses like animals!"
- "Where are my mother and my sister!"
- "Down Eros, Up Mars!"
- "Bravely spoken."
- "We keep you alive to serve this ship."
- etc. etc. etc.
