It just occurred to me that another favourite of mine, right up there at the top with Gladiator, is Mel Gibson's
Apocalypto (2006) I love absolutely everything about it.
The first time I saw that film was with a good friend. We joked about 10 min from the end that the character was so out of luck it would suck if the Conquestidors turn up......than....

Games playing : Bioshock (Remastered) / Total War Britannia / Dirt 4

I wouldn't have put it that far up myself, but I was genuinely surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I *did* however only watch it last year, so it's possible my surprise was partially down to the director's current reputation. Still a good film though.

My recent playthrough of the LucasArts adventure game adaptation has made me realise how much I love the film Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade.
I'd say it's a contender for my No. 1 favourite.
My fire is more than can be made with forests,
My state more base than are the basest valleys;
I wish no evenings more to see, each evening;
Shamed, I hate myself in sight of mountains,
And stop mine ears, lest I grow mad with music.

There's a girl in my daughter's class called Indiana. I would be lying if I said that every time she's mentioned in this house I didn't quote Sean Connery's penultimate line of that film.

Every time I hear Sallah laugh, I hear Gimli son of Glóin.

I saw it in the cinema back when it was first released and I was quite blown away by almost everything about it. I do recall being quite surprised, however, by the fact that...
