Movies like 'Ben-Hur' and 'The Ten Commandments' ? | Thread profile

I enjoyed watching these two movies and am willing to find more like them. Religious content is absolutely not important. What I'm looking for is coloured epic films from the 50s and 60s, over 3 hours long and that won respectable awards. Thanks.

i loved the ten commandments i agree its not the relgious content more the story. Yul Brynner and Anne Baxter were awesome in that movie lol. how he called her his sweet lol was great --------------- Hey Laser Lips Yo Momma Was A Snow Blower - Johnny 5

Those 2 films were meant to be watched on the big wide screen. Other 50/60's Epics in your required catagory are Spartacus, Laurence of Arabia, and West Side Story.
