Ben-Hur (1959)
Ben Hur is a magnificent and epic film in every possible way: the set pieces, the action sequences, the script, (the running length) all amount to an all–time classic of the genre.
Gladiator (2000)- Gladiator may be filled with historical anomalies and unlikely events, but with grand set pieces and stunning action sequences this is undoubtedly an epic adventure tale, also played brilliantly by the vigorous and gruff Crowe.
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)
Costner is strangely excellent as unlikely hero in this fresh and exciting Hollywood retelling of the origins of Sherwood Forest legend Robin Hood. It may be a little flashy at times, but a great adventure nonetheless.- DVD
$20$15 
Robin Hood (2010)- This is a great new portrayal of the Sherwood Forest hero and legend, with action, adventure, drama, and a few laughs.
Brave One, The (2007)
Jodi goes Kill Bill in this gritty revenge story that never quite feels convincing in terms of plot, although makes up for its shortcomings in attitude.
Hannibal (2001)
Almost more slasher than psychological thriller, this is not as good as ‘Silence of the Lambs’ or ‘Red Dragon’, although it does add some depth to the Hannibal legacy if you are particularly invested in the character.
Hannibal Rising (2007)- An interesting 'origins' story that swings back and forward between an historical and psychological reasoning of Hannibal's behaviour, and vicious outbursts of unexplainable violence.
Basic Instinct (1992)- Probably best known for the nudity ('that' interrogation scene), which is a little unfair considering the numerous other elements which make this an intense and gripping mystery/suspense story.
Fracture (2007)- Hopkins is back to his creepy 'Hannibal' role, uncannily pulling all the strings with intricate mind–games and a sadistic sense of humour. Suspenseful and entertaining, this is well–worth seeing.
21 (2008)- A fun drama for fans of gambling/hustling films, this is part 'Rounders' and part 'Oceans', with unpredictable Spacey leading his crew of young math geniuses on a card–counting, money–making adventure through Vegas.
