Ben-Hur.* Just one of the great spectacles ever in movie history.

+1

50 years later... the chariot race scene is still top-notch

lobo81865 · 12-28-2008, 11:22 PM

I love all of those, and would add Conan the Barbarian, and The Sword & the Sorcerer (cheesy fun).

cartman781 · 12-28-2008, 11:26 PM

Gladiator is my favorite

mevans · 12-28-2008, 11:49 PM

+1 It's the best 10 minutes in movie history. I will purchase Ben-Hur on day one.

Teabaggins · 12-30-2008, 06:08 PM

Does Excalibur count? if so then that is the THE one for me

kpkelley · 12-30-2008, 06:09 PM

Uh....where's Lawrence of Arabia on that list?

LOA
Braveheart
The Ten Commandments
Ben Hur
Gladiator
Spartacus

I haven't seen the Robe or Quo Vadis, so I can't add them to my list. No one considering Caligula?

Chris60119 · 12-30-2008, 06:15 PM

Does the Holy Grail count?

You need this one

for embarrassment. And you should use 37-42 of them. Shame on you.

papaholmz · 12-30-2008, 06:27 PM

It wasn't set in the 'Roman' era, but 'Lawrence of Arabia' is one of my favs and it had plenty of sandals and some swords as well.
