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"
