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

I was thinking "Debbie Does Dallas"... Great acting and directing, and don't forget the amazing score.

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."

Probably the best soundtrack ever.
Definitely a fantastic movie but certainly not the greatest ever.
Once again, you're wrong.

We all know that Viva Kneivel is the best film ever made.
Here he is curing some poor little crippled kid of polio by way of motorcycling jumping. Dont think Russell Crowe could do that.

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.

Seems like Gladiator was just made for Russell Crowe, no?

Yep, even Ridley Scott had said he was the only actor he even considered for the role. I've always loved movies of the old Roman days and this was perfection IMO. From the story to the acting to the sets, they really nailed it.Originally Posted by whatevergirl

As much of an action fan my dad is, he'd say the Thorn Birds is the best movie ever. (even though it was a miniseries).

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.Originally Posted by SP1966

The opening scenes in Gladiator where phenomenal! You could literally see, taste, smell...as if you were watching history live. "Historical" movies (well, loosely based granted) are my favorites. There is some cinema that can transport you right back in time!Originally Posted by SP1966

What's even more amazing about Gladiator is that it was filmed a few months after RC starred in "The Insider", for which he packed on 40 pounds of lard.
False. It would void thing if I said that I liked it!Originally Posted by SP1966

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)
, no matter how many times I've watched this film. He's....going home.
