Not as good but still pretty good.

Both are excellent.

"Ben-Hur" is a far better film - a genuine classic - very emotionally moving. I've seen "El Cid" once and have no desire to ever watch it again - it's a very expensive epic with very impressive visuals, but it's just not very memorable or emotionally engaging.
