As for Braveheart vs. King Arthur, well, I'm not a huge fan of either, so let's just go with Arthur for the hilarious Monty Python parody it enabled: Monty Python and the Holy Grail.Laura Roberts @ Buttontapper Presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03716439129745683442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839646920915128083.post-31687425274527226972015-04-06T14:14:41.965-07:002015-04-06T14:14:41.965-07:00Same here.

Pitting Butler against Crowe...also difficult. If I were to pick one of these two to watch right in this moment, I'd have to go with... Gladiator. Mostly because I just really enjoy Joaquin Phoenix's creepy portrayal of Commodus. <a href="http://erraticprojectjunkie.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Elle @ Erratic Project Junkie</a>ErraticEllehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807468379577508119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839646920915128083.post-8049758644135596272015-04-02T17:47:06.136-07:002015-04-02T17:47:06.136-07:00Gladiator.
