Cameron turned this tragic story into masterpiece. Cameron had his hand in arguably every aspect of the film’s creation, acting as the director, writer, co-producer & co-editor of the 1997 epic romance & disaster film Titanic was nominated for an incredible 14 Academy Awards & won 11, tying Ben-Hur (1959) for the most Oscars won by a single film. Titanic’s records may be broken or tied in the future, it will forever be the first film to hit the billion-dollar mark, grossing $1.84 billion

GLADIATOR (2000 Ridley Scott) Russell Crowe, Joaquín Phoenix, Richard Harris.
Gladiator is one of the greatest movies ever made and has an outstanding cast of the finest actors in the world.  The score is also exceptionally powerful, haunting and beautiful. Shot on location in Farnham, England, Ouarzazate, Morocco and Malta, the characters in the film are based on real people you can read about below.  The story itself teaches us values that still hold true today and serve to remind us that everything is possible if you keep them inside your heart and your mind:  Love,
Russell Crowe and Tomas Arana in Gladiator (2000)
