We're Discussing Gladiator (2000)

Once Upon A Time ...... There was a general, who commanded the Emperors armies, but when a new emperor rose, the general was cast down and became a slave, only to return to as a Gladiator, and seek vengeance for the wrongs done to him.

Sounds pretty bloody awesome!!

Nieve starts our TOP 100 Movie Challenge with the Oscar winning sword and sandals EPIC Gladiator.  I love this movie.  I saw it five or six times in the cinema when it came out because it had that big screen, classic movie look and feel, but is it still as amazing to today's teenagers?  Does the subtle politics, the shifting mental state of the Emperor, and the gladiatorial  action still stir the soul?

Costumes, camera crews, quotes, as well as new sections where have I seen them before, bang for your buck and cinema side dishes ..... and an appearance by Uncle Argyle.
