Film 61 "Gladiator" IMDB No. 96

Those giraffes you sold me, they won't mate. They just walk around, eating, and not mating. You sold me... queer giraffes. I want my money back.

2000 Ridley Scott

Maximus (Russell Crowe) is a Roman General loved and respected by his armies and the aging Emperor. On his death bed the Emperor chooses Maximus to be his successor over his son, Commodus.

Obviously Commodus is a bit pissed off about this and kills Maximus' family but fails to kill Maximus who ends up being a slave and taken to Rome to fight in the gladiator arenas.

A tale of love and revenge and friendship and betrayal and death. Good bloody fight scenes.

Multi award winning big sword fighting red blood spilling epic.

Definate watcher 8/10
