Kind of off subject, but I've watched Samson and Delilah with my kids several times, and it is a great movie that appeals to all ages. It has a lot of wonderful scenes, and Victor Mature was perfect for the part (especially how he was when he was blinded), and the end is wonderfully filmed, and one of the ultimate show stoppers.
