I brought up AG because on IMDB its his highest user-ranked feature after Alien, BR and Gladiator. Gladiator was known for screenwriting and acting? LOL I've never heard it quoted anywhere. Not in form or content. Crowe was sleepwalking through it. He won a make-up Oscar for not winning for The Insider the year before where he actually gave an interesting performance. The Halloween scenes in E.T. with suburban streets lined with kids is evocative and highly cinematic - and it communicates theme so I would say Spielberg fully lives up to Ford there for example. Just curious do you like Ridley’s brother Tony Scott? He's also heavily visual isn't he? All those color filters...

...sigh... As I said, I have nothing more to say on this. "Strength and honor!" "On my signal, unleash hell..." "Three weeks from now I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so..." "What we do in life... echoes in eternity!" Gladiator movie lines rating: R ∞ "People should know when they are conquered." "Would you Quentus? ...Would I?" "Strength and honor!" "On my signal, unleash hell..." "Three weeks from now I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so..." "If you find your self alone riding in green fields with the sun in your face... do not be troubled, for you are in Elysium. And you are already dead! Brothers... what we do in life... echoes in eternity!" "Roman victor!" "There is no one left to fight, sire." "There is always someone left to fight." "Have I missed the battle?" "You have missed the war." "You know dirt cleans off a lot better than blood, Quentis." "If only you would of been born a man. What a Ceaser you would have made..."

Will I be know as; the philosopher, the warrior, the tyrant? Or, will I be the emperor who gave Rome back... her true self?" "Commadus, your faults as a son, are my failure as a father..." "Your emperor asks for your loyalty Maximus? Take my hand... I only offer it once." "Ride until dawn and then execute him." "I speak seven languages." "Good. Tomorrow you can scream in seven languages!" "Are you not entertained!? ... Are you not entertained!? ... Is this not why you are here!?" "My history is a little hazy Cassius, but shouldn't the barbarians lose the battle of Carthage?" "Today I saw a slave, become more powerful than the emperor of Rome..." "They call for you... The general who became a slave. A slave who became a gladiator. A gladiator who defied an emperor.' "Now... we are free."
