Yes please, plus, Land Of The Pharaohs & The Long Ships. Barabbas is the film noir of ancient world epics, but it does contain one of the most spectacular arena scenes. The DVD makes it look like it was shot on 16mm (the same with Lord Jim). These big colourful epics were made for Blu-ray.Ed Lachmann said:The gorgeous BEN-HUR BD really illustrates how great these classic widescreen epics can look, especially compared to the old standard DVDs. I really wish that we could see more of them. I'm hoping that someday they will get around to the likes of BARABBAS, SOLOMON AND SHEBA, THE STORY OF RUTH, THE VIKINGS, THE SILVER CHALICE and HELEN OF TROY. And, an HD upgrade of the Niblo version would be nice, since the TEN COMMANDMENTS box included the silent version in BD which was much appreciated.
