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 general who became a slave. The slave who became a gladiator. The gladiator who defied an emperor. Striking story! But now, the people want to know how the story ends. Only a famous death will do. And what could be more glorious than to challenge the Emperor himself in the great arena?"
"What we do in life echoes in eternity"
"Are you not entertained?"
There isn't anything about this movie I can critique, it's such a perfect story from beginning to end. Went from on top of the world to being betrayed seeing his families dead bodies and going and getting his revenge.
That ending scene where Maximus gets carried out while Commodus lays on the ground is one of my favorite scenes. It's easily one of my favorite movies ever.
