Gladiator
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 first film I saw at the cinema with my now Husband, so this film holds a special place for me. Fantastic tale with superb acting and fight scenes.
