Most Expensive film ever made.

[pusskin]

I've just googled to find out the cost of the most expensive film ever made, and it come up with Harry Potter--Cleopatra--and many more.
No mention of "Ben Hur" Does anyone know, maybe come up with another list maybe? Ta muchly x

it depends whether they're adjusted for inflation or not. I think if it is, Cleopatra may still be the most expensive - but the millions it cost in 1963 would ahrdly pay for the star's trailer today. (Liz Taylor was the first person to be paid a million dollars for a movie).

this list gives both original costs and inflation-adjusted costs, with the proviso that Hollywood accounting is all lies anyway

|you may be right deggars, it was either that or Cleopatra?

sometimes studios claim a film cost more than it really did, to impress spectators. Sometimes they claim it cost less, to impress the taxman. You shouldn't really take any of the figures too literally.
