I was just wondering the other day, what it is about Swords n' Sandals films that people just can't get enough of. I mean regardless of how bad they are, people still want to go watch more and when they're good they're absolute box office gold.
This isn't a criticism of the viewing public in general because I too am a victim of it. I've seen Troy far too many times, despite the fact it is a rather hollow film and as for Gladiator or Ben Hur...
Kingdom of Heaven, while not actually a true classical era film still feels like an S&S and in many ways so does El Cid.
