Gladiator(2000)
Commodus: Rise. Rise.
[Maximus stands up, clenching an arrow head in his right hand]
Commodus: Your fame is well deserved, Spaniard. I don't think there's ever been a gladiator to match you. As for this young man, he insists you are Hector reborn. Or was it Hercules? Why doesn't the hero reveal himself and tell us all your real name? You do have a name.
Maximus: My name is Gladiator.
[turns away from Commodus]
Commodus: How dare you show your back to me! Slave, you will remove your helmet and tell me your name.
Maximus: [removes helmet and turns around to face Commodus] My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and 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.
[Commodus trembles in disbelief]
Quintus: Arms!
[Praetorians point their spears at the gladiators while the Colosseum crowd chants for them to live. Commodus shakes his head and motions the crowd for silence. He then raises his fist and reluctantly gives the thumbs-up signal]
Agreed?

LOL! One of the best scenes? I'm tired of this Gladiator bandwagon, Not one of the best scenes ever. There are far better scenes in movie history, But still a good scene.

i dont know, maybe. it was a pretty good scene. how much i like the rest of the movie might be impacting how i perceive the quality of that scene though (i thought it was overall decent, not great). it was certainly one of the better parts of the movie.

The great scene doesn't end there.
As the emperor leaves Maximus and Quintas, (Masimus' 2nd in command when he was general), set eyes upon each other. As Quintas looks at Maximus in disbelief Maximus gives him a Roman Salute. The guards leave the Gladiators in the Coliseum to an enthusiastic cheering crowd as Maximus raises his helmet in triumph.

The "Am I not merciful?" scene I would say is definetaly one of the best scenes ever in movie history. A great movie with many great scenes.

One of my favorite scenes in the film is the "Busy little bees" part. That chilling acting by Joaquin Phoenix. This movie had many very well acted and well written scenes.

I find it funny how apparently Crowe disliked that line, and apaprtetnly said, "But I am Russell Crowe and I will make this line work!"

No but it was great. Dennis hoppers diatribe before Christopher walken kills him in true romance was better.

Yes it is. When you consider than all of motion picture film consists of millions of minutes of footage, these roughly three minutes are definitely among the best!

No. It's far from "one of the best scenes in movie historie [sic]." Or history.

Howling II.
Brienne: "Any last words?"
Stannis: "Why a peach?"

Agreed. I like the movie okay, but I don't get the whole "best movie ever" thing. It's okay, and well done, but it's not THAT good.
Whores will have their trinkets.

No, it's not one of the best scenes in movie history. But certainly a very rousing scene in an otherwise very entertaining american action movie.
