Didn't George Lucas do that himself though with Return of the Jedi and the Ewoks .
It did technically have precedent 
. I'd say I have a three way tie between Empire/Rogue/Revenge for my favorite Star Wars movie.
People are way to hard on that trilogy I agree, except for maybe aspects of Padme and Anakins romance and the space diner in Attack
. I can appreciate that the characters are not 'perfect' and in that way I find Anakin to be realistic. I still have mixed feelings, especially the last installment. Finn was the best character to come out of the whole ordeal for me (not counting Luke and Yoda of course). I think Solo gets more flak than it should, I enjoyed that one.
Yep, that one will be added to this list in time
. It's a hopeful future. Lol I've hijacked my wifes thread to talk about Star Wars

I used to watch Gladiator endlessly and repeat certain minutes (which kept changing) again and again. Now my kids do that with vidéos but one of them does it with briefer moments repeated-- seconds (not minutes)...
Even before that I did that --meaning in Yemen--when there were only VCRs... by asking my mom to rewind the scene in which Bambi sees his dad and the other male deer running and bounding (cymbals clashing etc) she wd do it as a treat if I had listened to her.. N my brothers (1 of them hadnt been born yet) and I would run n jump off couch like those deer while watching it repeated for ages (until my mom's patience ran out). It was my idea not my brothers, so they wd become bored too so we wd have to stop... Though i could have gone on for hours on end...
And the drip drip drop april showers scene. My mom would indulge me and repeat that for ages too..
And later when we owned a casette... The scene from the Lion King (with Zazu where Simba and Nala tease him during the song n the lead-up to that song)
could watch that repeated endlessly ..except others would want me to stop rewinding..
Even as an adult actually ive done that with these scenes.
And in Mulan the 'girl worth fighting for' and 'to be a man' séquences..
Would even rewind and watch the latter again and again as an adult in front of my husband who probably thought I was crazy
During adulthood I have gone through phases..which alternate (rotate)..
(Repeats meaning for weeks I can mindlessly during free moments watch n rewind moments)...
watch repeats of silent films ...
And only specific scenes do i repeat mindlessly.. Dont even know why.. What induces my mind to choose some parts over others...
Alpha Bravo Charlie (only certain scenes) and Ankahi (both of these are not English)...
Father Ted ..
Brittas Empire...
1 episode of Betty boop only (in which her nephew is being mischievous) as it reminds me of funny one...
1 episode only (and only a few seconds)
of snog marry avoid--
where she is using glitter-- the girl is called Jade ...
i had wanted those glitters for years and managed to figure out which brand + colours they were and finally gave in and bought them last week!!
Plus i liked seeing the glitter sparkle n would replay that portion again and again for that...
I did the same with another brief scene of ANOTHER woman obsessively (in which she was applying makeup) due to being obsessed with that colour.... and several years later bought that same pigment too by figuring out what it was.
Things like that...

I too like Gladiator, even with all its historical inaccuracies. I had a pet fish with Colosseum decoration in its fish tank so I named it Maximus. I too rewatch certain sequences of my favorite movies repetitively on youtube.
That is a catchy sequence. There's some fun internet parodies out there that can the lyrics. Some may be more appropriate than others

That is a good name for a fish!
Shang and Shan Yu were very impressive characters.
The music and camera work and set/costume design and acting quality in Gladiator is wonderful.
I don't think many actors could sniff dirt or look at doll momentos yet not look lame...

why ... only because Emily Dickinson, quote unquote, had no friends and no life and was a loner.
According to them. And he said he hated people like that and teacher said she agreed.
