So which ones are your all time favorites? Mine are "300", "Gladiator", "Troy" and "Clash of the Titans".

I loved the movie "The last samari"
I an't seen a lot of the new ones like 300 and troy. But do own a copy of gladiator which was decent but not a all time best. there are also some older samari based movies but names escape me currently that are good.

Well, samurai movies are a separate genre. "Sword & Sandal" movies specifically refer to movies which deal with ancient Rome or Greece. :-)

CALIGULA wasnt too bad

also Gladiator was pretty good visually and come on Ben Hur is a classic

Yeah I'm sure it wasn't. LOL!

title said Sword & Sandal

And I would consider what the Japanese use to ware sandles, and hey had swords so hey lol sounds like Samari movies fits in here lol. Not the best description of a movie category

300 is an awesome watch. Clash of the titans is great too. Not typically sword and sandal, but of a similar vein were the various voyages of sinbad films, they were always good for a watch.
Also, if you're looking for a good rome/greece based drama, the BBC made a series called 'Rome', dunno if it's hit stateside yet, but you could look into it.

there is also a HBO series called Rome I believe... might be the same one?

Rome is not so much a sword and sandal type....more of a sword and sheath sort of thing....lol and a good series, I think season 3 is soon to begin

Are you sure? I read online that "Rome" is over. They did 2 seasons and that's it. I have "Rome" in my Netflix queue though so I'll watch it eventually.
