Both the 1925 and the 1959 movies had excellent chariot races! No CGIs!
The 1925 version was great, the 1959 version was great the first time, but when seen again and again it was way-y-y too long! Kind of like watching THE ALAMO (1959) for the tenth time and wanting to just see the last hour, so I watch THE LAST COMMAND instead.
I got both on DVD so I can fast forward through them to the naval battle and the chariot scene.
That my friend is a good analysis.
