2. Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1925)

Airing: April 3, Friday at 3 PM | April 5, Sunday at 2:30 PM

Directed by Fred Niblo and starring Ramon Navarro as Judah Ben-Hur, the 1925 film is the first adaptation of General Lew Wallace’s novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ.

It was historic in its production and special effects. By far the most expensive film of the silent movie era, the two-and-a-half-hour spectacle was also MGM’s most profitable film for 25 years. Later, assistant director William Wyler went on to direct the 1959 MGM remake with Charlton Heston.
