Does anyone remember when the Ten Commandments was traditionally aired on the prime-time networks every Easter? It sadly is not anymore and if you carefully listen to Cecil B. DeMille’s introduction to the film, (3:16-3:30) I think you will know why.
I have a copy of the Ten Commandments along with the original Ben-Hur and both I traditionally taken time to watch during the Easter and Passover weeks every year, and for those of you out there who are interested, Youtube, to their credit, has offered a free viewing of 1956 classic of the Ten Commandments which I wish to share with you all.
Disclaimer: The youtube link image display may make a misleading claim of the movie being age-restricted as an attempted form of censorship by way of suppressing viewership. If you see such a label, do not believe it, but instead take time to watch the film for yourself.
Also, Ben-Hur will air on TCM at 6 AM on Easter Sunday. They are also airing a lot of Biblical programming between now and Easter weekend.
Insisting, you have to pay

The old Jacob and Joseph movies from the 70s are actually pretty decent in their own right. Clearly old and shot on a low budget, but they did a nice job putting the stories together.
