If you want the movie about gladiators, get Spartacus.
Few others:
Amadeus - just a great movie.
Big Lebovski - if he likes "O brother..." chances are he will like this one. Made by the same guys.
Shrek - you got to like Shrek.
Follow Ups:
Buena Vista Social Club
Crumb
Oh Brother Where Art Thou
Tremors
ShrekOther candidates:
Thunderheart (my dad is a big Fred Ward fan, go figure)
Big Lebowski (although I don't know about this one - it's pretty different from Oh Brother and people either love it or hate it. I own it and love it, but . . .)
Thick as Thieves (I'll probably just keep this one for myself)
Dr. Strangelove
The Adventures of Buckaro Bonzai with Fred Ward and Joel Gray.
If you can find it- it's a gem !!!
I actually have it on tape. Jeff Goldblum, John Lithgow, Peter Weller, Clancy Brown, Christopher Lloyd . . great cast.But you have to admit - this is a WEIRD movie. Rasta aliens, 8th dimensional freak-outs, etc.
Although, come to think of it, I don't think Fred Ward is in this one. Yeah, maybe you're thinking of Remo Williams.
