Sith vs Jedi

There are two types of people: those who love Star Wars or those who hate Star Wars. I'm sure you can guess which type of person I am? :) We all can agree that episodes 1-3 weren't as good as the originals, however, there were some pretty stellar quotes, fights, and scenes that can take away any Star Wars geek's breathe away (for those who don't like it, you won't understand). Now don't get me wrong, I will always have a place in my heart for the original 3 when I was a kid; but the newer episodes just had a little more action overall. Episodes 1-3 had by far the top saber fights than any of later episodes; It sounds weird saying that because episodes 4-6 came first haha. Nice going George Lucas.

The best scene came down to two choices - Darth Vader vs Luke Skywalker, which don't get me wrong is AMAZING. Then it competed against Darth Sidious vs Master Yoda. It's the ultimate fight of Star Wars, where the two top, most intelligent, and wisest masters end in episode 3. How can you argue with these two fighting, how pumped were each of you when you saw Yoda walk into the room and challenged the Sith? Every time I watch the scene I get goosebumps, that's how geeky I am with my Star Wars. And I'm sure most of you can understand. 

I want to get your feedback whether you disagree or agree with my choice of the fight scene. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this very memorable scene in the great Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith. 

Best memorable quotes of the scene: 

"At an end your rule is, and not short enough it was"

"If so powerful you are, why leave?"

And the Oscar goes to...

There comes a time in any person's life where they must decide, what is my favorite all time movie? This usually contains our most memorable quotes that we tend to remember and have an attachment to when we see it airing on cable. It all started in 2000 when I was just a young boy and I caught my first and never last glimpse of my new favorite flick, Gladiator. It won best picture, best actor, best costume design, best visual effects, and best sound at the Academy Awards. Obviously it's credentials alone can prove how well the movie was done, but what really caught me was the perfect tapestry of action, drama, sadness, and even some light comedy. 

Russell Crowe gave a tremendous performance along with a cast to support him. Now although Maximus doesn't say much in this clip, the whole scene ends with a great movie quote given up by Connie Nelson or her character name - Lucilla. "He was a solider of Rome, honor him"

This whole ending gave the movie it's final push to success. It's so emotional but at the same time captures this anger and excitement when he finally avenges his family.. It's a bittersweet moment to say the least. It tops my chart not because of these great quotes but how the entire movie was created with a cast, setting, story-line, and not too mention the soundtrack which of course makes the scene that much memorable. I love this movie so much and hope some share the same views as me, so enjoy!

Some of my favorite Gladiator quotes:

"Now we are free, I will see you again, but not yet.... not yet"

"Free my men, Senator Grackus is to be reinstated. There was a dream that was Rome, it shall be realized. These are the wishes of Marcus Aurelias" 

"Hope is a good thing"
