Name your fave. The brawnier and sweatier the better.

I'm going with Gladiator 2.

I'd certainly watch a remake! [nt], posted on March 26, 2025 at 02:08:32

A popular clip!

I'm more of an old classics fan - aside from the numerous Steve Reeves movies. . . , posted on March 24, 2025 at 01:34:52

Medea's dance to Hekate was about as good as it got in mainstream movies from that time (1963) for a 14-year-old with raging hormones. Tip of the hat to actress Nancy Kovack! I mean, where would gladiator movies be without the dancing girls? Here's the 4-minute clip from which this still was taken: View YouTube Video

It's a favorite of mine as well.

Have you seen Hercules in the Haunted World (Mario Bava, 1961)? Reg Park is the lead. Christopher Lee is the villain.
See trailer at link.

Hadn't seen it before, but just watched the first two minutes, posted on March 27, 2025 at 01:15:09

Such inspired choreography!, posted on March 24, 2025 at 10:10:10

The tragic dubbing was part of the appeal!, posted on March 25, 2025 at 01:02:50
