Maybe the best movie ever made.

Its insane how good it is. The soundtrack is impossible.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made,

Amen. This has to be one of the best movies made ever indeed. Couldn't agree more.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made,

Maybe the silliest thread ever posted.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made,

Listen up Maxie, Explain to me how this is one of the best? too many plot holes and inaccuracies in it, Soundtrack can't make a movie the best ever, Acting, Directing, Cinematography, Writing, would all make a best movie ever, This mocie doesn't have, especially compared to other masterpieces, such as Godfather, Shawshank, Lawrence of Arabia, It's a Wonderful Life, ect.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made,

Agree. I cannot believe how TDKR and Interstellar are both above this movie or how both are even in top 250...

Fan bias is just too much. Interstellar was avg with horrible science and the stupidest last 30min and TDKR is just abysmal garbage.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made,

I'm a huge, huge Nolan fan. But honestly, this movie was far superior to TDK or Interstellar. It's epic in every way. From soundtrack to set design to cinematography to writing and costume design. It has a lot of emotion. I've seen it many times, but each time I see it, it's like the first.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made,

Strike 'maybe' from your post title, and we have a deal.

What we do in life echoes in eternity Russell Crowe as General Maximus in Gladiator (2000)

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made,

after all these years, Im in doubt if I should keep my 10. But as far as I remember this movie rocks and has a fantastic ending. I was thrilled.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

I agree 100%. Maybe nostalgia has something to do with it, but normally if i have that nostalgic feeling towards something like this, and then i watch it again 10 years later, i realise it was just nostalgia that kept me thinking it was good. Did not work for this one though. Gladiator is forever on my 1st to rewatch list. It's just as good the next 10 times as it was the first.

Because im god, are you god to question my answer?

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

It's a carbon copy of Braveheart. What the hell are you talking about?

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

You're either trolling or smoking crack

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

"It's a carbon copy of Braveheart."

It's more of a carbon copy of Spartacus, but still an extremely well made one.

Not the best movie ever for me, but I'd rank it top 20-ish. Other than a few cartoonish shots of the Roman atmosphere, it's a beautifully made film.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

It is in my top 10 of all time !!!!

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

I put a few other movies ahead of this one, but definitely in the conversation as one of the best movies ever made. It was so moving. I wish all movies could be this well written, acted, and directed. Also phenomenal soundtrack.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

Funny this movie did not have great reviews. Man, did they blow this one. This one is a true and epic classic and its been 15 years and nothing has been close.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

Really? Didn't know it got negative reviews. Good thing I don't let critics dictate what I watch. This is definitely the type of movie you can re-watch periodically and it never loses its impact.

Heat, directed/written by Michael Mann, is one of the best movies ever made.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

There is no maybe to it. I believe time will prove that Gladiator is one of the all time classics! movies of its genre. 😉

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

too many plot holes and inaccuracies in it for me, but I want perfection.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

It's definitely a favorite of mine that's easily towards the top, but I generally don't have consistent and absolute answers for such things as picking a favorite/best movie myself.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

Definitely in my top 3. Hard to say my absolute favourite but this film is so amazing.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

Gladiator is an absolutely wonderful movie. However, I don't think it qualifies for "best movie ever made." It is beautifully shot and tells a wonderful story, but it's just an epic. There isn't any depth to the film itself. It doesn't make you think. It's simply just a beautiful tale of an old world hero. There aren't really any surprises.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

Regardless, it's nice and refreshing to see a 'best movie ever' thread, as opposed to the legion of 'worst movie ever' postings on IMDB by sad ridiculous whiney ballbags.


...then whoa, differences...

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.


sad ridiculous whiney ballbags


Most people that indulge in creating those "worst movie ever threads" are often troling to wind fan's up.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

There's no 'maybe' about it. We wouldn't have had the 'Spartacus' TV show without it, or possibly 'Game of Thrones', either. Not to mention all the other Swords and Sandals movies of the past 25 years.

As for the soundtrack, very little of Hans Zimmer's work since doesn't refer back to it.

Always remember what Dirty Harry said about opinions before you express your own!

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

There's no maybe?...... Jumping the gun there, It's not one of the best, Just because it spawned other show/films means something? wow. Way too bias.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

It's not even the best movie of 2000. let alone best movie ever made

If you love Jesus Lizard and are 100% proud of it, copy this and make it your signature!

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

2000 wasn't a particularly strong year in general, but you're entitled to your own opinion..

Probably some of my fav movies, right there.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

Best movie, hands down.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

You think this is better than Citizen Kane, Rules of the Game, The Bicycle Thief? Please. It would be nice if you understood the difference btw good and great movies.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

Would be nice if you could understand the difference bewteen your own opinion and someone elses...

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

LOL! But I do! His is ill-informed, and mine is not.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

Agreed. 10/10. 100%

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

Is this supposed to be inverted trolling?

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

your mind is simple

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

It is my favoritemovie. This is impossible amazing movie. I recommend you Master And Commander too with Russell Crowe!

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

What does it mean to be the best movie? I would define that it as being of the most value to you. I think that doesn't limit it to following the criteria of needing to be thought provoking, the best storyline, the best acting, or best cinematography.

Gladiator to me is the best movie for many of the same reasons others like it. It provides value to me because it makes me feel really good, emotional, and in touch with my life and soul. The music is exquisite, the storyline is beautiful and inspiring, the acting, directing, and cinematography is masterful. It makes me feel so good, and ultimately that's what I care about so I consider it my favorite movie.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

For me THE BEST

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

I wholeheartedly agree, Gladiator is the greatest movie ever made.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

Don't act like your opinion is higher then everybody else's, The fact is this isn't the best film ever, Too many weaknesses.

Re: Maybe the best movie ever made.

Jesus, watch more movies, this is by no means even close to being the best movie ever, it's basically a remake of Ben-Hur made by someone who hasnt seen Ben-Hur.
i still like the film but it's crazy to say that this is the best movie ever made....

Like the other guy said, The Wizard of Oz is 10x better in every way

It isnt even the best movie of 2000, or the 21st century, let alone of all time.

He's right, Memento was the best film of 2000, Why do you have to call a fact a troll?
