A true cinematic masterpiece and an unfortunate hagiography debut on 4K disc
William Wyler's 1959 version of Ben-Hur, and then there's All the President's Men

One of the greatest movies to ever grace cinemas has finally received the video treatment it deserves, as has a movie that helped spawn generations of partisan hack journalists.
Obviously, I'm talking about Ben-Hur and All the President's Men, both of which premiere this week on 4K disc.
William Wyler's 1959 version of Ben-Hur was a remake of MGM's silent version from the 1920's. It's a big movie, epic in scale and in storytelling, and in my opinion is one of the top two films ever made. Well, that I've seen, of course (Casablanca is my other choice, but both films are so different it's hard to compare them against each other).
