Gladiator director Ridley Scott has revealed his very different take on Joaquin Phoenix's villainous Commodus 23 years after the movie was first released. Earning Phoenix a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the 73rd Annual Academy Awards, Gladiator marked the first collaboration between the celebrated actor and Scott, who would later tap him to star in his latest historical epic, Napoleon. In the pair’s first collaboration, however, Phoenix played the power-hungry son of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, who murdered his father to secure his claim to rule.
Bob Clark's 1974 horror film Black Christmas is one of the most influential slasher movies of all time, and it has an unforgettably chilling ending. In Black Christmas Billy is considered the villain as he picks off victims one by one, and after almost 50 years, his identity is still debated. The story takes place in a sorority house, where the residents are throwing a Christmas party before they depart. Little do they know, however, that a perverted killer has made his way into the house, and is preparing to pick them off one by one. The Billy Black Christmas character remains in the shadows for most of the movie, that is, until the chilling ending.
