I have described Gladiator to a customer as a perfect movie, it's hard to argue against it being one of the greatest.
With that said, a few more contenders though -
And a funny version of a scene from the 2nd movie

Best scene....
"Do you think SHE actually felt like that was a sexual thing he was doing? She's like 6. Only an actual p3do would think that she thought he was groping her, too."
"Not that it's impossible to touch a minor inappropriately, but it is true that a 6 year old girl will not recognize someone putting a hand on their chest as groping, whether it is inappropriate or not."

Gladiator was great, indeed. By far Russell Crowe's best performance, ever.
This scene gets me every time I see it , no matter how many times I've watched this film. He's....going home.
I don't know of one I'd dub 'the greatest ever made,' but...Shawshank Redemption is up there for me. I love the overall message--don't ever give up hope.

agreed. it had great depth....layers of meaning...direct and subtle throughout. it wasn't just an overblown action movie; like 300. that movie was hugely disappointing. i honestly felt nothing for the characters of that film, because the writers just didn't flesh them out enough for you to feel connected, as with Gladiator. not sure if you've seen 300, but i just thought it could have been done much better.

I grew up in a largely jewish town in NJ, had many jewish friends. My piano teacher taught an elderly lady back when I was a kid, who survived the camps, herself. She was so special to me, remembering her.
And...The teaching of the holcaust was of great importance in world history classes growing up.
So, for me, this movie makes my top 20 list.
Extraordinarily moving end scene...(sorry, not sure if this is spoiling anything for anyone who hasn't seen the movie)
When he says...'I could have gotten more out.' Oh gosh, I weep, everytime.
Please take the time to see this movie, if you haven't...(Schindler's List)
