Ben Hur

Ben Hur is on...and I just have to have it on in the background.
I still remember when I was younger, much younger, maybe 7 or 8 I saw parts of it for the first time..and started developing a love for those sword and sandal films...including Jesus,lol. But it left a lasting impression somehow. THe film is just fantastic, and considering when it was shot, i.e. in the Fifties and breaking every budget and record there was, it is still an absolute classic!

Fast forward years, no decades, and I saw a documentary on LGB films in Hollywood, The Celluloid Closet (must see!), and surprise surprise there's a strong homosexual subcontext in Ben Hur.. clearly I had a gay incling from a very early age it seems! Queer through and through :)
