Oh come on admit it!!! Titanic is way better than Pearl Harbor, it's imitator, but for Titanic, what do you expect from James Cameron the guy behind The Terminator 1 & 2 and Aliens?
Shawshank Redemption was not meant to be an oscar nominee or box-office hit, it was meant to be a CULT movie like The Rocky Horror Picture show.
"The original gladiator was made before the spartacus movie but historically and story wise they are totally different that movie in my mind deserved every award it recieved."
Original Gladiator? What the hell are you talking about? There was no original Gladitator, unless you count Sparticus.
And no, they are not different. The only thing different is Gladiator is bad, Sparticus is good. Lets look at the similarities, shall we?
Gladiator is about a gladiator who is a slave, then becomes powerful enough to over throw the king. He gets a band of other gladiators to help him do this.
Sparticus is about a gladiator who is a slave, then becomes powerful enough to overthrow the king. He gets a band of other gladiators to help him do this.
The only difference is that in Gladiator he actually fights the king one on one (which is blatantly stupid, my god, stupid I say.) At least Sparticus had him over throw a king by simply over powering him and getting more people on his side. Not challenging the king to a "match" and killing him.
Also, Kirk Douglas owns Russel Crowe hardcore.
