    when the union's inspiration through the worker's blood shall run,
    there can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun,
    yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one?
    but the union makes us strong.

    I think we can pretty much classify Gladiator as a war/action film. He DOES start off as a Roman general, after all.

    Anyway, I would have to say Glory is one of my favorite war films of all time: The special-effects are a bit...crappy, but, not much you can do about an '80s movie...


    I would post more, but, most of my other favorites have already been taken.

    Most impressive thing about SPR for me was the sound effects.
