GladiatorAnd if you find yourself walking through a field.....

O Brother, Where Art Thou?Brother/Gladiator/Memento and Cast Away is a great comfort food movie.

O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Toss up for me between Glad and Brother. The old timey wackiness of Brother is the tie-breaker for me.GrundleStiltzkin said:Brother/Gladiator/Memento and Cast Away is a great comfort food movie.

Gladiator

GladiatorI really wish my name was Maximum Decimus Meridius. I'd walk into parties and and be like "I'm Maximus Decimus Meridius, but you can call me Pup."
-
Almost FamousGladiator is the obvious choice ...
But it doesn’t have Kate Hudson’s tits -
GladiatorRome is the mob. Conjure magic for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the senate, it's the sand of the coliseum.
10/10. Also I want to shout out Oliver Reed. This was the last completed scene he filmed before dying on set, and I think it's one of the best acting showcases I've ever seen:

Of the many all time great scenes in that movie, that speech is probably my favorite. -
GladiatorAlmost went with Almost Famous.

O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Lester Bangs was fucking amazing!alumni94 said:Almost went with Almost Famous.

American PsychoReally it's Gladiator, but I love this movie. Christian Bale is a genius. The barely contained rage when the gay guy out does his business card is one of my favorite acting scenes.
-
F.O. Row Peter Puffer, You Left Off...Shit year, relatively speaking. Gladiator was really good, but this is a year I'll actually go with a comedy. High Fidelity and Snatch are both way-up-there for me, but Me, Myself & Irene is comic gold. Funniest Jim Carey movie, IMO.
Gladiator was great, but not, say, Shawshank great. -
F.O. Row Peter Puffer, You Left Off...“Gladiator” is amazing, and I don’t begrudge it winning the Oscar for best picture, but “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, which took home the best foreign film prize, was truly groundbreaking.
It leveled up the martial arts / wuxia genre into an art form and popularized the genre in the West. -
GladiatorDid it though? Has Wuxia ever caught on here? I wish it did. Fantastic movie.
-
SnatchYou like dags?
-
GladiatorGladiator is a mans movie but the plane crash in Castaway was actually pretty intense in the movie theater
-
GladiatorI went with Gladiator because it made me want to gut Commodus like a fish so fucking bad I could taste it. I know some of you think that may be an everyday occurrence for me, but it isn't.
And the opening war scene and the gladiator battles? Epic. -
F.O. Row Peter Puffer, You Left Off...
It did for a bit. “Hero” and “House of Flying Daggers” were released in mainstream theaters, IIRC.Gladstone said:Did it though? Has Wuxia ever caught on here? I wish it did. Fantastic movie.
But you’re making a good point, the momentum died off. -
Gladiator

MementoMemento was a complete mind explosion for me. I’ve watched it several tims and every tim I seem to pick up something new. The reversed scenes technique they filmed in was brilliant.
