Gladiator

Ridley Scott's epic remains a milestone that has not been equalled or surpassed by anybody, even the master himself. Scott updated a genre to a glorious new heights that was considered dead for decades. At its core a career defining performance by Russel Crowe that no other actor could have pulled off. The excellent cast also featured superb performances by Joaquin Phoenix and Connie Nielsen among others. The stunning cinematography, editing, visual effects and score were often imitated by countless other films. All the elements came together for this classic that still holds every bit of its power.
