My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North,
General of the Felix Legions,
Loyal servant of 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.

This. Movie. Rocked.
Seriously awesome movie, beautiful script, amazing acting (the very first time I saw Hansou on screen, and forever sealing my fanaticism for Russell Crowe).
Oh yeah, the filmscore/soundtrack still rocks my world.
My favourite is the "Now We Are Free" song at the end that has Lisa Gerrard singing in her celtic-ish stuff.
Hail Maximus!
A movie I have watched over and over and will watch again. I can't pick a favourite part of it, but I love when he is walking through the tall grass running his fingers over the top of it... and the music - I cry buckets every time.
Solomon, Petesmama. You guys are close to my ethos. This was one movie that had incredibly crafted action scenes and with a story to match.
Not many people comment on the music like you have. The celtic sound is something I love. Russell Watson is a UK tenor who put words to one of the songs 'Il gladiatore', it can bring tears to the eyes.
I'm a huge fan of music soundtracks, collecting them like crazy. My current favourite is the new batman series by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard.
Zimmer is one awesome maestro. Check out his wikipedia page and you'll recognise his sound from the movies.
LOL, okay, I need to stop mini-posting.
No worries solomon. My favourite of all time is the sound track from the movie 'the mission" (Jeremy irons and Robert De NIro) The composer is Ennio Morricone. I highhly recommend it, he has apparently done many a musical score for the movies.
Solomon King, we should talk about those soundtracks, seriously!
Yeah, fantastic movie! Kale they stole that ka-part when he was walking in the wheat and re-used it in The Assassination of Jesse James, another fantastic movie of fatalism!
