Derek Jacobi as Gracchus:
"I think he knows what Rome is. Rome is the mob. Conjure magic for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the senate, it's the sand of the Colosseum. He'll bring them death - and they will love him for it."

"Slave! You will remove your helmet and tell me your name."
"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius. Commander of the armies of the north. General of the Felix Legions. Loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next!"

The great Oliver Reed in his 116th and final film role as Proximo, also in Gladiator:
Proximo: You should see the Colosseum Spaniard. Fifty-thousand Romans... watching every movement of your sword... willing you to make that killer blow. The silence before you strike and the noise afterwards. It rises. It rises up... like a storm. As if you were the thunder god himself.

Reed: “I have two ambitions in life. I want to drink every pub dry and sleep with every woman on earth.”

If "sports" includes chess, I've got to say the The Queen's Gambit ranks up there with the best sports movies* I have ever seen. I just finished watching it on Netflix. Phenomenal.
* It's actually a mini-series.
