Caligola (1979)

Actors: Peter O'Toole (actor), Adriana Asti (actress), Helen Mirren (actress), Osiride Pevarello (actor), Leopoldo Trieste (actor), Pino Ammendola (actor), John Steiner (actor), Giancarlo Badessi (actor), John Gielgud (actor), Patrick Allen (actor), Paolo Bonacelli (actor), Eolo Capritti (actor), Malcolm McDowell (actor), Bruno Nicolai (composer), Gore Vidal (writer),

Plot: The rise and fall of the notorious Roman Emperor Caligula, showing the violent methods that he employs to gain the throne, and the subsequent insanity of his reign - he gives his horse political office and humiliates and executes anyone who even slightly displeases him. He also sleeps with his sister, organises elaborate orgies and embarks on a fruitless invasion of England before meeting an appropriate end. There are various versions of the film, ranging from the heavily- truncated 90-minute version to the legendary 160-minute hardcore version which leaves nothing to the imagination (though the hardcore scenes were inserted later and do not involve the main cast members).

Quotes:

Caligula: Let them hate me, so long as they fear me.

Caligula: I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Gaius Caligula, I am all men as I am no man and therefore I am a God.

[at an orgy]::Caligula: Longinus, you're not having any fun! Enjoy yourself! What is your preference?::Longinus: Everything and nothing Caesar.

Caligula: I hear you have a taste for little boys. Is that not so?::Chaerea: No Caesar, big boys.

Chaerea: Give him enough rope...::Longinus: ...and perhaps, he'll hang us all.

Tiberius: Do you prefer nymphs to satyrs?::Caligula: I like both, Lord.::Tiberius: One needs both, yes, to keep healthy.

Tiberius: Do you think this boy has been drinking?::Caligula: I think he has, Caesar.::Tiberius: So do I. Macro? Bring him more wine!

Caligula: Caesar begged you.

[after a man is decapitated]::Caligula: If only all of Rome had just one neck.

Tiberius: Serve the state, Caligula, though the people in it are wicked beasts.::Caligula: But they love you, lord.::Tiberius: Oh, no... they FEAR me... and that is much better.

Quotes:

Demetrius: [reflectively] We were friends once, Glycon.::Glycon: I know. I suppose I should blame myself for what has become of you. When I put that sword in your hand, it killed more than Dardanius and the others. It killed you. I hope you sleep well, sir. Good night.

Messalina: Why did you run? I don't think you're a coward. You had no real chance of escaping, you must have known that!::Demetrius: This is a place where men are trained to kill each other like animals!::Messalina: And men aren't animals?::Demetrius: No!::Messalina: We admire a magnificent animal who fights. Why not a man who fights ?::Demetrius: Because God did not put man on earth to destroy his own kind. Nor a woman to enjoy their agonies as they die.

Messalina: What is your name?::Demetrius: Demetrius.::Messalina: You spoke of a god, Demetrius. Which god?::Demetrius: There is only one God.::Claudius: He's one of "them". This is very interesting. A Christian!::Messalina: Are you a Christian?::Demetrius: Yes.::Messalina: And you won't fight?::Demetrius: No.::Claudius: He can't my dear. It's against his religion to kill.

Glycon: Listen to me. The worst sort of life is better than the best kind of death. Forget your religion for just one day. Kill him. He is no good. Your god will thank you for it.

Caligula: [hallucinating] Do you see her Claudius ? The Goddess Diana. Every night she comes to me. My arms. There there she goes. Now do you see her ?::Claudius: No, sire.::Caligula: [angrily] Why not ?::Claudius: Only you gods are privileged to see each other.

Caligula: Christian. Do you renounce your false god ? This king of an invisible kingdom... who expects to come back some day and rule the earth ?::Demetrius: [after a long pause] There is no other king but Caesar. There is no power greater than his, in this world, or any other.::Caligula: By the mercy of Caesar, you are a free man.

Messalina: [arrogantly] You'll never get him back. What can you offer him ? The company of slaves and beggars ? The refuse of Rome ? Poverty and self-denial ? Prayers ? Tears ? Death ? You see, I've studied your teachings, and I, Fisherman, I can give him the world. If he has to choose between us, do you think he'd hesitate for one minute ? Of course not. And that's why you hate me. I can see it in your eyes.::Peter: What you see in my eyes is pity.::[she tosses her goblet of wine in his face]::Messalina: Get out !

Demetrius: We traveled here together from Galilee, persuading people to give up their lives for a beautiful dream. [he attempts to hand a goblet of wine to Peter] Take it Peter. It's real... hot spiced, with cinnamon and cloves. [chuckles and looks towards Messalina] Did you know that Jesus could turn water into wine? And that was only one of his tricks.::Peter: Yes, only one. Anything that was base, He could make noble. He found a leper and made him clean. He found death and He made life. He found you a slave, and He made you free.::Demetrius: Get out!::Peter: And now you've won a great victory over Him, haven't you tribune ? You've made yourself a slave again.

Caligula: I have the power of life and death over every being in the empire! My power is as great as any god's! True?::Claudius: True, sire.::Caligula: Why should I have to die? Who should I have to suffer death like any plebeian, any slave? Is that logical? Is it?::Claudius: No, sire.

Caligula: Philosophers! Their brains are full of mildew!
