El Cid (DVD, 2008, Limited Collector's Edition; 2-Disc Set)

If you have never seen it your in for a treat. One of five all time greats.
Nobleman Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar (Charlton Heston) frees several Moorish foes captured in battle, incurring the lasting loyalty of their leader Moutamin (Douglas Wilmer), who calls him "El Cid." Returning to Burgos to marry Jimena Gormaz (Sophia Loren, dubbed 'Chimene' for English use), daughter of the King's champion Count Gormaz (Andrew Cruickshank), Rodrigo is branded a traitor by Count Ordóñez (Raf Vallone), a jealous rival for Chimene's hand. Rodrigo must defend his family's honor by slaying Count Gormaz, earning Chimene's lasting hatred. To square his family's good name, Rodrigo takes Gormaz' place in a trial by combat to determine the ownership of a disputed city. Made the new champion, Rodrigo tries to mentor the princes Alfonso and Sancho (John Fraser & Gary Raymond), and wins the hand of Chimene against her will. She enters a convent rather than stay with her father's killer, while Princess Urraca (Geneviève Page) encourages a rivalry between the princes. When the King dies the kingdom goes into disarray and Rodrigo is banished. He finds a brief happiness with Chimene but soon returns to help heal the kingdom's internal wounds, and to defend against the new Moorish threat represented by the fanatic Ben Yussef (Herbert Lom).
