Get Your Damn Dirty Hands Off Me You Damn Easter Bunny!

Just ran out and got the 50th Anniversary Editon of The Ten Commandments. :p

Anybody else have an overpowering need to watch Charlton Heston kick Biblical ass on Easter night? #nunchuck#

I figure for $15, I manage to skip about two hours worth of commercials. AND I get a bonus feature of the 1920-something C.B.D.V. version of the film! :p

My favorite scene?

The Exodus...reminds me of Round Three of Burger Time...sigh...

I have not seen that movie in years. I had an inching last year to rent it and forgot about it until I saw a commercial for it again. It is now on my rental list after I make my way through the rest of the Bond movies.

I used to be awed by The Ten Commandments, but when I got to high school, I realized how cheesy it was. Putting in Hollywoodish plot points like Moses not knowing he was Jewish cheapened the intended affect.

A few years later, movie special effects had improved enough to make The Ten Commandments almost cartoonish.

But Ben-Hur has held up. My movie recently gave a copy of Ben-Hur to her cousin and her husband as a 50th anniversary gift (it was the Best Picture of 1959), as well as a die-cast model of a 1959 Cadillac El Dorado. An evening at the drive-in to honor 50 years of marriage.

The Passion of the Christ is a powerful movie. I have seen it once it was out in theaters, I couldn't see it again.

I just noticed this thread because a yahoo slurp spider(?) was viewing it. The thing that stands out about The Ten Commandments film is just how HOT Yvonne DeCarlo was in her pre-Lilly Munster days!

I have a hard time sitting through the whole movie (isn't it 3 hours or more?).

But my favorite scene is the writing of the commandments by the pillar of fire! It's fantastic and the voice of God is awesome! Even though the animated pillar is cheesy by today's standards, it somehow adds to the charm of the movie (reminds me of the way they did the Human Torch in Gorman's Fantastic Four movie!) :)

P.S. Talk about revisionist history though; isn't there one part where they show Moses as the architect of the Great Pyramids? Wow! Historically incorrect on several points with that one!

You have to admit that 10 Commandments started a trend. If it wasn't for that movie would we even have The Breakfast Club?
