It's because of bloopers, outtakes and end credit behind-the-scenes
Sure it makes for good entertainment and a few good laughs
But does it make for a good movie?
A huge success with 11 Academy awards!
Imagine how it would be if after the grand end of the movie the viewer is treated to a few, well, bloopers!
Imagine in the scene when Ben Hur saves Quintus Arrius and he asks him "Why did you save me?" and Ben Hur replies "Coz I couldn't let your punk ass drown!" and they both broke out into laughter!
Wouldn't work
Or how about when Pontius Pilate and Ben Hur are having their little tete-a-tete and break out into laughter all around and there was much slapping of backs because Pontius Pilate forgets his lines 7 times in a row?
Wouldn't work
So today, and this is for you Mr. Filmmaker, make a great movie but do not have end credit bloopers and outtakes. Wait a year, and then release it as a separate DVD that costs half the rate of the actual movie.
You're making your money and people get their laughs and the Oscars are already in the bag!
