I like it a lot too. Great movie.
Gladiator with Russel Crowe. Gettysburg with the whole cast. I could watch all the Godfather movies again. But I Like epics more than anything. If there are aren't 100,000 warriors on the field, it doesn't do too much for me. "Troy" was great. I'm sick of the oldies, especially "It's A Wonderful Life". Good flick, but OMG how much can you handle?

Don't much care for over-the-top action films and certainly nothing with "Furious" in the title.
A lot of the 70s NYC cop/exploitation movies are up there - at least for pure entertainment value.

I'm with the previous posters that mentioned; "Apocalypto". Oddly landed on it while channel surfing and became totally absorbed. Luckily it repeated as soon as it was over and I watched it again. Produced by Mel Gibson and I'd never heard of it as a theater production?
