Samson and Delilah (The Bible Collection)

The story of Samson & Delilah is a perfect movie to share with your son whom is transitioning from puberty to a young man. The story is so touching and has a teaching on deception that every young man should be informed about. All actors on this movie do a supurb job! One of my very favorite bible stories.

I rated this item (Samson and Delilah dvd) the highest star! I got it in the mail very fast! Great! I saw the entire movie in one sitting. It plays good in my dvd player! it is in good conditions and shape. it is a good addition to my collection becouse its price and quality were great too! thanks!

I have been wanting these movies for awhile. I used to watch them with my parents when I was little and wanted to share them with my children. And they love them just as much as I do. Shipping from seller was before the expected date. I am one happy customer.

This Italian production is not your usual Bible-epic. With striking set design, beautiful art direction and oftentimes alarming attention to period detail, this is pretty realistic stuff. And pretty brutal. A lot of this can be attributed to British art-house director Nicolas Roeg, who has made "Samson and Delilah" perhaps his most ambitious film to date. At 180 minutes there is nary a dull moment. Roeg afficianados will appreciate the customary Roeg flourishes: shocking edits, liberal use of the zoom lens, intentional placement of humor and a general atmosphere of mysticism and otherworldliness. The performances are all around solid. Dennis Hopper turns in a clever and decidedly Hopper-esque performance as a reluctant Philistine general. Eric Thall, as Samson, comes across as vulnerable and humane yet entirely believable when coerced to flights of rage. His long hair doesn't look fake, chalking up another high mark for this film's realism. And Elizabeth Hurley as Delilah? Well, what more needs to be said? She really delivers with her greedy seduction of Samson and subsequent guilt. Not to mention, that in her Delilah garb, she is absolutely gorgeous. All in all a surprising and entertaining movie for Nicolas Roeg and all involved. Be sure to keep rolling for the credits as not to miss the Ennio Morricone-scored end titles. A short and haunting piece that is very appropriate.

great movie of the life of samson and his involvement with delilah

Why NEVER put your trust in a women, Women was put on earth to walk beside her man not before him. NEVER trust a women you don't know. Why the rating. There is nothing more than a Wonderful movie that has purpose.

I purchased the movie since the reviews stated it was closer to the biblical story than Hollywood's version of "Samson and Delilah" which I didn't like at all. I also thought the male actor on the cover was appealing but in the movie, he wasn't as gorgeous as on the cover. Overall, it did have a sensual scene that I wasn't expecting, but at least you were able to see some parts of the movie which seemed more realistic and could clearly understand Samson's love for women--which also lured him to his death. I watched it a couple times since purchased.

My Bible movie collection is now complete
