I first saw this film soon after it was released. I was in the military and one of the rough heavy drinking guys in our outfit came back from town after seeing it and tried not to cry while telling us about it. I saw it again recently and must say, it was better than ever. I don’t think I’ve seen any movie that has surpassed it on so many levels. The love scenes between Heston and the beautiful Haya Harareet were restrained and yet all the more torrid as a result. It has everything. I kinda laugh seeing some of the movies on the list above it. There seems to be a crises in credibility, a dumbing down in the culture wherever we look. Kinda sad.
