I love this movie! I saw on cable once, and was mesmerized...then I saw it was for sale at a discounted price, with the behind the scenes DVD! I just had to have it.
Russell Crowe is MAGNIFICENT in this movie : "“My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.”
THE BEST MOVIE QUOTE EVER!!!!
