Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
Best Picture 2000 and surefire Oscar contender!
I saw Gladiator the day it opened in theaters, and the second I came out of the theater I knew that it was the Best Picture of 2000, and it's certainly proved itself to be. Since that first viewing, I have seen it about 200 more times, and it only gets better with age. If you don't see it for the plot, direction, or Crowe's fantastic acting, see it for Joacquim Phoenix's brilliant breakout portrayal of the scheming Commodus. GLADIATOR IS THE BEST FILM OF 2000!
