Yes! I'm so glad "Ben-Hur" is in there somewhere. I watched the Heston version first but the chariot scene from the 1925 version is so much more exciting!
It was a much more dangerous movie as people died during the filming but barring the morbidness it shows that just because it's silent/black and white doesn't mean it's not good!
