Title	Rating	Comments
Gladiator II		Philip Seymour Hoffman as the lead in a classic spy tale eset in Germany. some excellent acting with Rachel McAdams and Daniel Brühl. I think I may have seen it before. The ending is a massive disappointment to the main charachter. State power dominates.
Gladiator		An xmas classic, though it wasn't when it was first released. It was also a commercial flop, in spite of Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. Frank Capra was a socialist and it shows.
Pele		A dramatisation of his life and successes..Predudice in how football was played, didn't know this. Nowadays the game of footie seems to me to be a contact sport, so what did style of play even mean. Far too much money in it now.
