I'm a fan of Demille even though I've only ever seen The Ten Commandments. I'd like to see what else he's done. What are five great Demille films that I should see? Or basically what are the five best Cecil B. Demille movies not including The Ten Commandments?

Hi,
The five DeMille's greatest films or only epics? With the films, I am not telling you for sure because I have not seen all of his films. Therefore, I will list only the five best epics from the most well done to the least:

1. CLEOPATRA
2. THE SIGN OF THE CROSS
3. THE KING OF KINGS
4. SAMSON AND DELILAH
5. THE CRUSADES
   Other films I would recommend are THE GREATEST SHOW Ob68N EARTH and REAP THE WILD WIND.
   Hope it helped a bit,
   Marcin

My God, DeMille had already entered into his disappointing "late period" when he made those movies. His best stuff was done much sooner. I recommend:

1. HE WHO DARES (1907)
2. LEMORA AND THE SHADOW (1908)
3. THE HONOR OF KINGS (1911)
4. THE MOUNTAIN TIGRESS, A FABLE OF LOVE (1911)
   And finally
5. GUNS OF MADAGASCAR (1913)

Okay, you've already had THE KING OF KINGS suggested, so I won't bother w/ that one. (It's his best.)
Go w/ UNION PACIFIC & THE PLAINSMAN. You've already had THE CRUSADES recommended. Go w/ THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH and The 1925 version of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, which t238ells it from a different perspective.
