Gladiator
Ridley Scott takes a beautiful movie and rubs some dirt on it to make a gritty and bloody drama. Maximus is one of those characters you just have to love. He’s a family man, excellent General who is...

I love this movie. I remember being very impressed when I watched it the first time. Now, on my second viewing, I was able to soak the story in a little more. The main thing I enjoy about this film is...
