Going on 90 years since it was first released, the original The Ten Commandments movie can still over awe you with the spectacle of both the biblical prologue and the story. The 1923 when Paramount released would become that studio's biggest moneymaker up to that time.
The first part tells the story of Moses leading the Jews from Egypt to the Promised Land, his receipt of the tablets and the worship of the golden calf. The second part shows the efficacy of the commandments in modern life through a story set in San Francisco. Two brothers, rivals for the love of Mary, also come into conflict when John discovers Dan used shoddy materials to construct a cathedral.
